The sub pro feels like something that would be great to go with the WiiM Amp range, or those new standalone speakers WiiM is making (I forget what they are called), are we going to see a WiiM package deal in the future? it's exciting!

I find this comparison interesting because some reviewers have said the Amp Ultra has more bass than the Amp Pro!

It looks like a great product, but I do wish that brands would stop adding "pro" to every product in existence. It's not pro if it's being used in the home to listen to pop music.

I love the idea of a single box in my main system, will the Amp Ultra finally be the product that lets me retire my collection of vintage amps?

Ultra plus, if car naming is anything to go by :P

No. I did note that I had open the posts to fully open for my bananas to fit properly.

I'm having an issue with this, but with Spotify Connect on the Wiim Amp Pro, my pc can connect to the amp just fine, but the app can't from my phone. The issue is not with spotify app, as it connects to my pro plus and the tv just fine. Any advice would be appreciated. the Wiim does work fine...

The WiiM app can control your Ultra over the local network, pretty sure it functions fine if the wifi is up but the internet is down.

This simply isn't true, huge parts of my house would be offline without powerline, and powerline is both faster and more stable than wifi even in the parts that wifi does reach. As for noise, networking signals are ordered of magnitude away from the audio spectrum so there's no chance any noise...

True, but less so with “traditional” hifi. My 1972 Sherwood s7200 is as well supported as it was in 1972. The “computer drive” in my vintage technics I can still get serviced locally, same for my bigger amps. RCA is not going away. It doesn’t matter so much with Wiim even if the app does stop...

Not enough audiophile grade copper in your burner. All jokes aside anything like that should be looked at by a qualified professional. Gas is no joke

Is this the fault of tidal, I notice some of thier older recordings have pops as if the source was a vinyl record. I know some of my tests are tidal’s source as they’re also audible from my pc with its own headphones that isn’t connected to the wiims at all.

This isn't true, most 90s and 2000s cds contain something called CD text, though few players can read them.

Buy any used cd player with an optical output, it'll come with a better remote, read cds better and be far cheaper. I have one of my moderate sized technics collection connected to my WiiM amp which is from the 80s and was $4 second hand, plays cds perfectly, uses the WiiM's dac so it's age...

Actually depending on how often they're used, and how many hours are recommended, they might not be :P
