Just re-installed ROON and ROCK. Attached my WiiM Pro Plus and I’ve noted that ROON shows me up only WiiM Pro Plus for AirPlay. The WiiM is attached via Ethernet cable. So it should be show up as Ethernet and not only AirPlay.
Many of us have been using Chromecast or Squeezebox (that some consider to sound the best).
If you want to use Squeezebox you will need to enable it in Roon under Settings->Setup and wait for Roon to see it as an available device under Settings ->Audio
This will enable you to compare the options at that point
There is an update from 2 day’s ago but no mention of Roon Ready yet.
That update is in a staged rollout but maybe we will be getting a nice Christmas present
From the release notes in the WIIM app.
I am on the latest version of the firmware and currently no Roon Ready.
This might mean one of two things.
Roon hasn’t enabled it for that version yet and that could happen anytime as it’s a server side flag for all intents and purposes.
The version of WIIM Pro Plus that has passed certification is not this version but what is likely to be the next version, in which case we could still be in line for a Christmas present
All sounds very positive to me though
And yes WIIM will update automatically when it is ready for an update
This must be a recent occurrence. Since the Pro Plus is now on the Roon website, it means that the certification process is finished. The website updates itself automatically when this happens.
Therefore, I believe that the most probable explanation is that the firmware update has not been pushed by WiiM just yet.
I have one of them, not updated yet. I did notice today that both my Denon devices are now showing in Roon as Roon Ready, but also showing as “Uncertified”
Hmm Denon use HEOS and Roon Tested over Airplay . Odd one. I think thats messed up and should be Roon Tested as its Roon Tested for the Home 350 on Roons site. Interesting though if it is, Maybe Marantz will follow same parent co after all.
Ya, HEOS is complete trash, and so is the DAC. Was the primary reason to buy the WiiM for the living room. I listen to most of my music in my Home Office on the Eversolo, but wanted the option to listen to Hifi in the living room.
