    WiiM Amp USB Input & AutoSwitch

    I did try a Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 which does pretty mucjh the same thing, tehfrustrating part about it was you couldn't then adjust the volume from the PC, I'm guessing as it was jus sending data i.e. 1's & 0's and I#m guessing the one you linked to will be the same.

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    I still have a Pro plugged into the same amp via coax so whenever I want to switch over to that I can, I can still use speaker groups for voice commands for radio etc. which I use quite a lot for multiroom. I didn't want to pay 2 subscriptions and can't cast from the Amazon App on phone / tablet...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    In my opinion the Nano was better .... I've been and still am a huge WiiM fan (3 mini's, 3 Pros and a Pro Plus) and will continue to use them in all non critical listening and multiroom situations but the Nano just sounds better which means I've also had to switch from Amazon Music which is a...

    Keeping USB out "live" when not using it.

    Hard to give it a proper title but I bought a USB KVM Switch hoping to plug 2 different streamers into it and then USB out into my DAC so I could switch straight between them for instant back to back comparisons BUT as soon as I switch to teh other streamer on the switch, the Ultra shows as no...

    UMIK-1 mic support for room correction

    OK ..... your 1st reply was The IT wasn't clear / ambiguous, I thought you meant the phone itself, I didn't realise the WiiM App showed which mic it was using, I'll take a look again later. A side comment, before I tried it with the Umik I ran it with iOS and Android, using the phones mic on...

    UMIK-1 mic support for room correction

    The title of the thread is "UMIK-1 mic support for room correction" I'm trying to use a Umik-1 to do the measurements for the room correction as opposed to the mic on the phone and you asked "doesn't it tell you which mic is being used" .... no it doesn't, so I was asking how you'd know which...

    UMIK-1 mic support for room correction

    If it does tell you I wouldn't know where to look for the notification and it was the sound level that was changing. I'm using pick noise at a constant volume ... it doesn't change if I move the Android phone connected to the Umik around but stays constant as it should.

    UMIK-1 mic support for room correction

    I don't think iOS uses the Umik if it's plugged in but continues to use the phone's microphone instead, my microphone was on a stand not being moved and as I moved the phone in my had the readings kept changing .... does anyone know if there's a setting you need to change. My Android seemed to...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    Just thought I'd update for anyone that may be interested ..... I moved everything around last night so I could reach the Qutest and easily toggle between inputs and the difference in sound was quite significant, everything is "fuller / richer" and overall it has more "command" .... that almost...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    Which to me there certainly was going between the various setups as mentoned in post #5 above ... The Pro going through my Arcam's DAC (which is meant to be good), the bass up to vocals it just seemed like they're compressed together and there was also distortion and siblance towards the higher...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    Both of which will have a direct impact on the sound.

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    I'd definitely try the analogue out as well and if it betters the Chord I can put some money back in my bank account :) Whilst I appreciate the sound can be coloured to preference with EQ/PEQ, it won't change things like soundstage or detail / seperation of instruments, something I really...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    Because I've tried a WiiM Pro with my Arcam SA30's onboard DAC and a Pro Plus using the Plus's DAC and also a Pro into my Chord Qutest which is a considerable improvement on the 1st two and as mentioned above I've also noticed an uplift in sound quality using a USB out from a Nano into the...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    I certainly found one that was more about using an external DAC and read all 9 pages and whilst it touched on it, there wasn't much reference to using USB out as opposed to coax or optical. Whlst I have a few WiiM Pro's, I currently have a Nano on trial and did notice a worthwhile difference...

    Ultra's Clock vs External DAC's Clock??

    Has anybody tried their Ultra using an external DAC and compared Coax and Optical out to USB out which will use the external DAC's clock instead of the Ultra's and did you notice any difference?
