Good news for all with external dacs , no need for them any more, topping 50II is very well regarded.

Yes, I use this song ( and many others , especially from stockfish records ) for checking the soundquality .

Cleaner , with better stereo image than before . My external dac is now inferior on those parameters , it was the opposite one year ago . I use other speakers today but the poweramp is the same . Overall, this is good news for me when I don’t need the external dac , less things to turn on/off...

Most poweramps has dc protection , but a electrolyte capacitor in series always make the sound less clear . Not having that , that’s probably one reason why hypex sound better than other class D

I have my Wiim rca output directly to my Audiophonics ncore 125 poweramp and nothing is broken , no loud soundpops or anything like that .

I tested the internal dac of the ultra yesterday and to my surprise it sounded quite a bit better than before. Better than my external dac. Maybe a firmware upgrade of some kind ?. I’m gonna sell my external dac

The WiiM ultra:s internal dac sounds better today than before. I compared a year ago to my external dac that was better sounding, and compared again yesterday. Now the internal dac sounds better with more detail and less sibilance. Probably some improvements done in firmware ? I’m gonna sell my...

Please sheck it out , yes this is good news. I use Tidal connect for most music.

My experience yesterday is that WiiM ultra somehow ( with new firmwares ? ) has made the internal dac better sounding than before, so I’m gonna sell my external dac now . If others experience similar , please write. It was a year ago the last time I tested the internal dac of the Ultra. At that...

Ok , now I understand . If it was possible to use the Ultra as a two way stereo dsp crossover , we wouldn’t need an external dsp crossover , such as minidsp .

”- If setting the crossover for the subwoofer in Ultra, prevents the Line-out from playing full-range audio. - Similarly, the EQ settings applied in Ultra are also applied to the Line-out.” ———- Can you clearify what you mean ? What you are writing here about the crossover is exactly what’s...

Does this new firmware allow lowpass filtered subwoofer stereo output at 200 Hz from the stereo line out in the Ultra , while it’s still possible to use toslink out from the Ultra to an external dac sending highpass filtered signal at 200 Hz to the main speakers ? If this is possible , it’s all...

I have had fairly good results having the subwoofer calibration ”on” . However - the best sounding result has been without subwoofer calibration , with the two subwoofers very close to the main speakers. In these case, I have used the frequency range 70-300 Hz for the correction of the main...

Best is ofcourse to measure the frequency range of 300-20000 Hz outside , with the speaker on a high stand. But…. My measurement 70 cm on axis from Genelec 8340 with line audio om1 using sine sweep in the middle of the room ( thick rug on floor ) with 1/6 smoothing shows it’s flat within +-1.5...

Nice to hear !
