Apple's popular wireless streaming protocol is a no-show on Wiim's flagship music streamer, at least for now.

It pays to read the fine print. I know this, and yet sometimes in my rush to tell readers about the latest gadget, I neglect to check my assumptions. Such was the case with the new Wiim Ultra — the latest network music streamer in Wiim ’s rapidly expanding collection of wireless hi-fi gear. I assumed — as did a number of my colleagues — that the Ultra is compatible with Apple’s AirPlay 2 wireless streaming protocol.

Recommended Videos Fearing I’d had a brain aneurism, I checked the original press release I had been sent for the Ultra’s official May 9 launch. No mention of AirPlay there either. Ruh-roh. Was I the only one who missed this seemingly massive omission? Nope. As I said, plenty of other sites made the same assumption.

“Please note: Airplay certification is still pending, and while we don’t have a definitive timeline, we chose not to delay the launch of the WiiM Ultra. If you primarily use Airplay to stream music, we recommend waiting until it’s certified or looking at other WiiM products. — Wiim”
