WiiM Ultra

Dali has a wireless soundhub for their powered speakers for years now but as far as I know they haven't included a surround option in the Bluos application. I guess they would put NAD, Marantz and Denon out of business if they would.
 
Mine is a TransSpeed 6K, but I really think any generic Android TV box would do the trick. The two or three I've had in the past all show up in Google Play when I pick an app to install.

I am still not sure how you got this to work. Is this a full version of the app? I got a generic AndroidTV (this is a review unit, so I didn't get the Transpeed...I received a KickPi which runs Android TV OS 12).and it also says that the Wiim Home app is not available on the device (Same as my Nvidia Shield). I have tried using the APK to install and it can't be controlled with the remote and the app installs like it would look on a phone (very narrow in the middle of the screen). Is the Transpeed running Android for tablets instead of Android TV OS?

I also tried two different boxes, including the transpeed and couldn’t load the app with either of them.

thanks for the info, I don’t think it works with Android TV OS, natively. I am still using a Minisforum PC running wiim home in the living room. I have an app on my phone called RemoteMouse to get it up and running, but PCs need to be updated more often, so I would have preferred a AndroidTV solution.
 
Two ideas to beat up:

1. Use a Chromebook.
2. Use a Raspberry Pi and use Waydroid to run WiiM Home for Android (https://waydro.id/)
I have a Chromebook, but I prefer the smaller form factor of the smallish PC.

In my office, I have a docked ipad with hdmi out that feeds a screen and it can run Wiim home, but I like the idea of an androidtv app in the living room, so hopefully, they eventually put one out. The PC is pretty easy with the remote app, but I just don’t like so many updates, since it’s basically being used just for Wiim Home. I thought I would play more games when I got the PC, but it hasn’t worked out that way.

I have thought about getting a Pi to tinker with, but haven’t got around to it. Good suggestion, though.

That makes sense that it might be running Android for tablets. One of mine that it's working on is an older Version 10. Build is Transpeed_H616-userdebug 10 QP1A.191105.004 eng.ren.20201021.181527 test-keys Rev. BD32 if that helps. I believe the newer one it's working on is V13. Both were bought on AliExpress. I can remember the narrow on the screen problem, but I think that happened when I tried to sideload the APK onto a Firestick.
