The way to make a final determination, which you would have to have the PS on hand, would be trying different cables to see if any changes to eliminate a cable that might not interface the same as the ones you used. Also having a second iFi PS on hand and even another WIIM. It seems you are not...

Thanks for more info. This still leaves the door open for further speculation which may or may not pan out. It still could be the iFi or the WIIM unit but it seems more likely the iFi PS might be at fault. I have not read any other posts concerning the issues you had though I might of missed...

Interesting results, could be from various reasons like a bad iFi, as mentioned. Could also be from a bad cable, broken shielding or improperly shielded, did you try at least one other cable? Did you use the same wall outlet? It could even be within the WIIM as well, cable not seating...

Thanks for your response! I cleaned up my desk and can fit everything on it so likely to just keep and use the Ultra and even have room for the 8" Tab so much easier to control than the little screen on the Ultra. I can even fit the 27" monitor I have but if I find the right deal on a great 22...

You make a good point though I disagree with it from personal experience as the PS can introduce noise that can effect the end result in sound quality that I can here. There was not a huge improvement using upgraded power supply but it was obvious to me. As mentioned before, those that cannot...

Thanks hgo58 :) That does clarify things a bit but also opens up another question, or two..... What difference is there between the coax and optical output on those devices, if any? Years ago I was working out that issue with one piece of gear where the coax(SPDIF) was tapped into for the...

Thanks adias, this does help a bit:) I hope to hear from someone that has compared the Pro Plus to the Ultra.

Thanks for the replies! I will look at the Pro as well, I would like at least 3 inputs but can use less as my DAC has some extra ones as well. I was just looking at the Ultra again and realize my most favorite amp would sit on top of it just fine, just hope no noise introduced into the system...

I have a brand new Ultra I have never used yet, had a Pro + I should of kept until I could test them against each other but unfortunately I sold it. Full time in an RV, space is at a premium so considering buying another Pro + and selling the Ultra or make a part trade, etc.....Everything has to...

Thanks, much appreciated. I do apologize for getting a bit worked up here, again. I feel very strongly about such things, we simply do do not understand all that is around us or even ourselves, much more to learn, very exciting times we are in indeed:) Some of us are into both the gear and...

That is the problem, there are tests that are valid for a very limited range of what we can hear in a frequency range but they do not measure things outside like the finite details that some can perceive and it seems others cannot. There are spatial and other clues either in the medium of the...

I am quite aware of the amount of snake oil in the audio industry, and most others. I DIY all my very reasonable cost cables and when I owned a multi million dollar company and could buy most anything I wanted in audio I spent around $5k on a partly DIY, partly used but very fine system that...

Who determines there is a proper test? Not me, not you, not the "experts" in science that are constantly proven wrong. So much easier to bury ones head in the sand than imagine one might not know all their is to know. Just because one does not drink the koolaid does not mean they do not know...

Some cannot hear differences others can, that is the simple fact of the matter which has been proven over and over again. . Those that believe only their belief system can be the right one, I am OK with that, If they would keep their comments to themselves. Those that ridicule all others are...

I bet it is not a balanced layout on the other side of the room. :rolleyes: The TT is in a horrible location horribly mounted. I like the picture of the real Mini on the wall though. Rick
