WiiM Ultra

So far so good. Took a while to figure out how to get the Ultra to play CDs out through the WiiM speakers. Same with playing music out to Bluetooth speakers, which by the way, aren’t recommended.

Upgraded old receiver with the WiiM Ultra and Amp

Replaced my decades old receiver with the WiiM Ultra and Amp to power reference speakers. I'm enjoying Spotify connect which frees up my phone for other things. Streaming radio and my legacy music on a USB stick work great.

WIIM Ultra preamp/streamer

This is my third WIIM device, after a Mini and an Amp Pro. Those two are working well in my garage and bedroom respectively. The Ultra is in my main 'hobby' stereo system, feeding a DSP crossover and my homebuilt amplifiers and speakers. The Ultra handles streaming audio from Qobuz, and switching for phono, line (for the audio interface used for system measurements) and optical (PC) inputs, allowing my to retire my old preamp and simplify my system wiring. I appreciate its flexibility, and while I don't currently use the onboard DACs I like knowing that they are top notch should I someday use the Ultra in a different application. I also appreciate the small form factor, and that the display can be dimmed down enough to not to be annoying in a darkened room.
