It's not a parametric EQ. It's a GEQ.
You're right. My oversight.

Bought a Pro along with a Mini to do a proof of concept multi-room setup in my house, and it seemed promising (I also have some other LinkPlay devices and they integrated nicely) until I discovered I am unable to use anything above 48 kHz on the optical input on the Pro (just silence). Verified that there's nothing wrong with the cables. I've seen a lot of issues on the internet with crackling but haven't seen anyone running into my problem, so perhaps I got a dud. Waiting to hear back from their support, but for now I'm using 24/48 to finish some more practical tests.
Looks like ROON is a go:

"Hi everyone,
We have great news to share with you all. As of today, WiiM Pro is Roon Ready certified. Now we are currently preparing the firmware and will be releasing the Roon Ready update to all WiiM Pro owners by 6/30. We'll make a formal announcement in all our channels when the firmware is released on 6/30. We really appreciate your patience throughout the certification process. We want to give you all a heads-up since you have eagerly awaited this update."
WiiM Pro is now Roon Ready
Some might take Roon's "fingers crossed" on their Roon Partner Update Facebook page as an optimistic sign of progress...

Yeah, Roon “coming soon” is like Spotify HiFi “coming soon”I think they are just rubbing it in that all us Anthem owners are still waiting for Roon "coming soon."
although that might be sooner going by some reports of Spotify ”Supremium”For $150 (and 30 day Amazon return) how could I NOT pick one up to try out? I have DSP active speakers and use it solely as a Wi-Fi digital transport via dig coax out so can’t comment on the DAC, but as a transport it functions well. Stable, good app, good functionality, good support. ALMOST everything I need. One feature that it lacks - as I use it - is the ability to support an analog subwoofer, since analog and digital outputs are not active at same time. If that could be changed, it could supplant my Bluesound Nodes.
@VintageFlanker now it is finaly Roon Ready new measurements (transport part)?
The digital output has already been covered in the measurements.
If you go into the app you can choose the resolution of audio, I think its set to 16 bit 44khz by default, I set it the highest possible and everything seems to work ok.
These settings are only for the digital output(s).
I currently use Roon by connecting my DAC to a PC via USB. If I connect a WiiM Pro to my DAC via coax or optical, what is the max bit/sample rate supported? 24/96? Is DSD supported or will Roon have to convert to PCM to send along to the Wiim Pro?
Wiim Pro supports up to 24/192 and, yes, Roon will convert DSD to PCM.

What DAC? Some DACs have limitations for file types and bit rates for coax/optical versus USB.
It's a Topping DX3+. It handles 32bit 768kHz PCM and DSD 512.
Hi all. I have a wiim mini connected aux to a pair of acrive loudspeakers and a usb disk connected to my router as a nas. I have more than 1000 flac folders, one for album.
