I think you need to look up hint in the dictionary :joy::joy:

It’s almost certainly got to be an accident that Roon Ready code was pushed out to all devices though. I can’t imagine anyway that it would have been done on purpose before it’s live, unless they meant to push it out and not activate it.
That kind of cock up could happen at any time

EDIT: Oh that’s a Pro and not Pro plus :face_with_peeking_eye::scream::sob:

Wiim Pro has been Roon Ready for ages we are wait on the Wiim Pro Plus.

Also why is it downsampling to 96/24 the device supports 192/24, something odd there. Check your output settings in the Wiim as you can change it for connected DACs it looks to be set to 96/24 hence the resamping. Are you using optical out?

I got all excited and went looking and realised just before you posted.
Still no sign of any updated release notes

I’ve set it to downsample to 96khz. That’s the maximum my Sony receiver will accept via TOSLINK.

Keeping my fingers that you Pro Plus users get the update soon :grinning:

I’m loving’ the WiiM Pro! :heart_eyes:

It’s replaced a Primare NP5 (Mk.1) in my bedroom which kept disconnecting from my Wi-Fi network and needed constant rebooting. Annoying as hell.

And the WiiM is less than a third of the price of the Primare. What a bargain!

Any luck with the Pro Plus guys?

Checked this morning before leaving the house. Still has the 12/07 firmware.

Nah nothing yet, no ones got it in anywhere yet.

I wonder what’s taking so long? :thinking:

Likely adding in some other stuff they had in for next update.

It could be dangerous to put out a rushed update and then go away on holiday and leave everyone potentially annoyed.

[Moderated: It’s almost Xmas, let’s drop the snark.]

I am unable to play hires from the Wiim Pro Plus. The stream in Roon shows it’s downgraded to 16bit.

If Wiim Pro Plus is Roon ready why do I see it playing in the Roon app on my iphone and also on the Wiim app on my iPhone?

Help very confused here

Hi @Paula_Dickerson,
Please post a screenshot of Roon’s signal path.

What protocol are you playing?
AirPlay would make sense as it is limited to 16/44

You can try Chromecast or Squeezelite

You can turn Squeezelite on as below in Settings -->Setup

And then enable the device in Settings ->Audio

You must have activated Airplay also Roon Ready needs a firmware update from Wiim to enable it, Which has only just started to roll out to selective users.

This is a brand new Wiim pro plus first turn on. It did an initial update and then said it was doing a Roon ready update but just hung. After 30 minutes I exited the IOS Wiim app and restarted. I have no way to know is the update applied. As of now Roon only plays over airplay.
Oh well, I was hopeful. Now disappointed.

After spending the last hour with Wiim’s software I am underwhelmed and surprised so much hype has been written on this piece of plastic.

It’s on its way back to Amazon….

You didn’t really give people the opportunity to help you before you gave up, you were playing music from Roon.
If it’s going back to Amazon, that’s that.
Ps the hype is real, it’s a great sounding piece of plastic.
