WiiM Ultra Music Streamer & Digital Preamplifier | 3.5" Touch Screen, Compatible with Chromecast & Alexa, Stream Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal & More | HDMI ARC, Phone Input & Headphone Output | Silver

I've been using wiim pro plus over a year and apart from its built in dac rest all awesome. So ,i went to upgrade to ultra . Pretty good. Nothing compares to this price point. Didnt tried internal DAC. I am not expecting much about it. Will simply use my Cambridge 200 m . Build quality is good. . Looks nice . amazing loaded with multi options. Handy

Quality audio equipment. Rate this highly over the Sonos I had previously. Looking to get the Vibelink in silver to partner with it. Setup and app control is easy. App on android TV is basic, but the lyric detection is great.

Amazing box of sonic delights. Well designed, easy to use and set up thanks to the highly intuitive Wiim App. Everything works as it should. If using a VPN disable it when setting up access to any NAS on a home network .The Phono stage is surprisingly good and works very well with my Rega P1 turntable. . Sound is detailed and persuasive. Streaming with Tidal Connect is a breeze and the Hi Res recordings sound terrific. Amazing value for money and a piece of equipment to please budget concious Hi Fi nerds .Highly recommended

Po 1,5 roku użytkowania muszę stwierdzić, że to był najlepszy zakup do sytemu audio! Spięty ze wzmacniaczem i pasywnymi kolumnami tworzy idealny pomost między wszystkimi multimediami w domu! Używam do słuchania muzyki, oglądania TV (automatycznie przełącza na HDMI), puszczania Castem z laptopa czy telefonów znajomych. Aplikacja bardoz przyjazdna, przejrzysta, ocja kompensacji pomieszczenia robi genialną robotę (zwłaszcza jak masz mikrowfon na USBc podłączony do telefonu) wyrównując pasma dźwięku, które głośniki zawyżają lub zaniżają. Dotego equalizer parametryczny. Całośc sprawia, że całośc z systemem audio gra najlepiej jak się da w twoich warunkach akustycznych dostrojonych do twojego ucha. Z czasem przetwornik analogowo cyfrowy WIIMa stał się nie wystarczający dla mnie bo zainstalowany w nim DAC ESS jest jasny, szczegółowy, dla niektórych zbyt sterylny, z płaską ale szeroką i detaliczną sceną. Separacja instrumentów pod uwagę całość jest całkiem dobra. Ja sam dorzuciłem zewnętrznego DACa przez USB z WIIMa i rozbudowałem system o dużo lepszy dźwięk (detale, głębość sceny, naturalnośc instrmentów), nie zaburzając i nie ucząc się całego ekosystemu. Polecam bardzo!

A review of an audio device should come with some context of the writer, what they listen to, and what their other gear is: My uses are for multiple kinds of music from classic rock, to some classical, to some electronic dance, and even some outlaw country. My system includes a clean Onkyo amplifier, older JBL 10” 3-way speakers, and I am bypassing the WiiM DAC by passing the SPDIF data into a Denafrips Ares 2 DAC. That said, my review is probably not audiophile-grade, but audiophile-ish. My perception of sound quality in this review is compared to that of a Marantz CD6007 CD player and my perception of sound quality. The most important thing about the WiiM Ultra for me was the ability to bypass the built-in DAC so I could maximize sound quality to my ears by passing through my own DAC. Great news: It does that, beautifully. And it’s amazing. By using my own DAC, I can only barely tell the difference between a CD and even Spotify. That could set a clear line in the sand about my hearing, but I’m baffled at how close to CD quality the WiiM with my Denafrips DAC can get. It’s gets so close, it’s no longer distracting how different the sound is between streaming and CD. Now, I acknowledge that the DAC is a specialized piece of gear, but it has allowed me to homogenize the tonality of sound between CD and streaming. The WiiM connects via SPDIF, allowing for connection to any DAC you like, which was the use case that led me to finally buy a dedicated streamer. The versatility to do this pushes this into the zone where it’s an interesting to those interested in maximizing and curating a tailor-fit sound quality. The WiiM Ultra hits the mark here. It’s also beautifully easy to use. I can operate my streams from my phone, carry it around the house. Love that. It’s great. It may also be valuable to know that the screen is super fun, because I can finally just walk by and see what’s playing - and so can anyone else in the house. So nice to not have this all hidden only in one person’s phone. The design of the device is also super beautiful. Sits next to my Marantz CD player and fits right in. That’s phenomenal at this price point. So, here’s the thing - I’m probably a “practical audiophile” - I love music, I’m a little picky about sound quality, but I don’t have tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear, but I do have a sizeable investment in equipment to get as good of sound as I can. I’ve been skeptical about streaming because of sound quality (and the need for perpetual subscriptions). And the WiiM Ultra is the first dedicated streaming device I’ve ever chosen to give a chance — because of the ability to use my own DAC. It hits all the right marks given my use case: Super easy to use, beautiful design, the ability to attach my own DAC, and there aren’t any gimmicks … it’s great. Even on Spotify, with my DAC, it’s so close to CD quality, I’m no longer distracted by the fact that the stream sound quality has such different sound signature than CD. In my use case, this is a perfect solution, and it’s clear that I’m WiiM’s perfect customer. I’m sold, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants great flexibility to expand in the future, but have something beautifully functional in the meantime that likely needs no upgrades at all to still be phenomenal. Five stars on providing an affordable device that finally hits in the zone of the venerable CD for music lovers.

Setup took 5 mins max. Menu easy to navigate for setting up and using Tidal. Room correction and EQ options are interesting. Sound is bright and spacious but will be running to external DAC (Holomay Cyan) anyway.

Très bon produit,assez impressionné par la qualité générale, le son est vraiment très bien, beaucoup de possibilités de réglage, équaliseur, écran, câblage, application qui fonctionne très bien, très facile a installer, je recommande fortement.
