WiiM/Linkplay's CEO confirmed development of the WiiM Ultra is underway, with availability expected during Q2 2024. No pricing as yet, so far the only features WiiM have announced are an LCD display, aluminum enclosure, and USB output.

WiiM have updated the planned features for their forthcoming (2Q24) WiiM Ultra model:

- USB media server input
- Phono input
- USB output
- Subwoofer output
- HDMI ARC output
- Wi-Fi 6/Bluetooth Low Energy
- A display
- Integrated power supply

Interesting they still haven't clarified whether or not the display will be a touchscreen or not, and whether or not the Phono input will have a software feature that defeats the RIAA EQ allowing it to be used as a standard line level analog input instead of Phono.

Also a bit strange that WiiM are saying in order to both connect to a USB DAC, and to a USB storage hard drive for the media server function, you'll need to bring your own USB hub. That I don't like, the unit should just have two USB ports on it instead. Connecting your own USB hub passes the buck in providing adequate USB bus power to the hard drive, at an additional cost, and adds another device/connecting wire to deal with.
