The saved choices cover volume, grouping and subwoofer settings, giving owners a way to associate different configurations with different inputs. Presto Music adds another listening option on both devices, with a service centered on jazz and classical music. The expanded preset capacity gives listeners more slots for EQ settings tailored to their speakers or listening preferences.
The firmware versions are v5.2.833832 for WiiM Ultra and v5.2.833833 for WiiM Amp Ultra. WiiM also reports stability improvements for Spotify Connect and Squeezelite, plus Deezer queue support and fixes involving services including Qobuz Connect. Firmware distribution happens in stages, so individual devices may receive the updates at different times.
Changes for TV sound and room correction
WiiM Bar received firmware v5.2.833833, also dated October 28, with changes WiiM says improve synchronization between picture and sound. The company also says revised processing for the left and right channels improves the balance of stereo music playback.
That WiiM Bar update addresses Dolby audio stuttering and playback problems involving TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music and TuneIn. Separately, WiiM Home v3.6.12, dated October 23, changes the default RoomFit™ settings on WiiM Sub Pro, WiiM Bar and WiiM Sound, which WiiM says should improve room correction results.
If you use different volume, grouping or subwoofer settings for different sources, Input Scenes gives you a way to save those choices and apply them when switching inputs.
