I assume the Ultra has options to limit maximum output, like the Amp has? That would lower the risk of blowing up anything with the Vibelink at 100%

Ah! To control the AVR volume with the streaming app. That’s a good feature. I wonder: Does a streamer with HDMI out currently exist? Do you know of one?

I2S and HDMI are different connections. You could not “do I2S over HDMI”. You could have I2S out shaped like an HDMI connector. And for use with a classic AVR S/PDIF is sufficient, because the classic AVR has a connector for that in 99,9% of the cases.

What purpose would an HDMI output serve that isn’t served by S/PDIF out?

HDMI out? What for? Or did you mean to say HDMI in?

It’s not the wifi signal. If it was the signal you’d get drop outs, the audio would break up. I assume you get an uninterrupted stream, only the sound is wrong. Have you listened to music on this system that sounded “right”? What changed since then? Assuming your stereo is capable of producing...

Did you turn the TV volume way up?

You can add some stations via the “Open Network Stream” music service in the Wiim Home app.

No DAC and subwoofer out? How?

Or a Wiim Amp Pre: all the inputs, but no power amplifier. Digital and analog outs.

Did someone already say “Sonos One style wifi enabled speaker”? I need one for the kitchen.

Don’t the phantoms have streaming built in? Why not use that?

I have Q Acoustics 3020i. I found them a bit harsh as well. I tamed the highs a bit with the parametric EQ and now the sound is great! My speakers hang on the wall with the rear port plugs inserted.

Yes, it’s very dusty. One of the reasons I’m getting a different model with a lid. I also wanted direct drive and a built in preamp. The one in the picture is an old ProJect RPM 1.3.

Very happy with my new minimal living room setup. I mean, the living room is not minimal, but the hifi setup is super simplified thanks to the Wiim Amp. Amp, old cd player connected with optical, Q Acoustics speakers on the wall. The turntable is connected to nothing at the moment, I’ll...
