external dac

I has my Ultra with an external DAC (Topping D70 Pro) via USB; it features a trigger in and out jacks. I connect them both so to wake up my Power Amp as well as I turn on the Ultra. I use a mono trigger cable to DAC and another one to Power Amp. The setup works quite well and I tested turning on...

Hi everyone, Hope the winter holiday season is going great! I'm in search for a basic clarification: if I set the Fixed Volume Output in my Ultra to 'ON' I know the volume will be set to 100. But will it still account for the Volume Limit value, or disregard it? As an example, if if ON and the...

Hello guys ! Question; We have 4 differente digital output options; USB Coax Optical HDMI Arc Do all these 4 connections do the same internal ‘routing’ ? SO they all exclude the Wiim’s internal clock ,DAC and other systems?? And thus the Ultra only serves as a streamer device, leaving all...

Hello all, At the moment running WiiM Ultra via USB to s Schiit Mimir, then XLR out to my tube amp… Although adding the Mimir did add some extra SQ in terms of sound stage and clearity , I do believe there is also a little more harshness to it leading sometimes to fatigue….( depending on music...

Hi all, Fairly new to WiiM Amp Ultra, and trying to work out the viability of connecting an audio interface like the Behringer Uphoria umc204 to the WiiM Amp Ultra so I can connect an electric guitar in and play through PC software. Currently, my Wiim Amp is mainly used for music listening and...

I hope this plan pans out for me. I just picked up a MINT Oppo BDP-105, it's basically a very high quality multi disk format player with two ESS Sabre32 Reference DACs. Why 2? Well one is shared for optical/coax/hdmi and the other is dedicated to the balanced XLR output, which is what I will...

I bought a Pro to essentially replace Roon + PC as my streaming source as I can use the DSP in the Wiim app to EQ my headphones, plus it's a lot more portable around the house than a large PC is. However, I haven't done my diligence sufficiently as I have a problem with connecting them...

I'm very happy of my WiiM Ultra + VibelinkAmp that I connect via Optical. I'm very happy of my loudspeakers (AE500) as well. Thinking on upgrades, would you first go External DAC (Topping / SMSL / ...) to fit in between, or WiiM Sub Pro? DAC second hand at same price of WiiM Sub Pro are quite...

There's been a lot of buzz lately about using a DDC between Streamers and External DACs. I read in the comments on a recent YT Video about the Douk Audio U2 Pro (which is USB powered) that it doesn't work with the WiiM Ultra. Can anybody confirm this. Anybody using a DDC and External DAC...

Hi. Just wondering if anyone uses the Wiim ultra streamer with an ifi zen dac? If so, is there any improvement in sq please? I’m asking this is as whilst I do love the ultra, the sound through my system (Arcam avr550 and Spender s5e speakers) can sound a tad harsh and brittle. I use Tidal for...

Just setup new WIIM pro plus to replace failing squeezebox classic (which was outputting to a Schitt Bifrost DAC because one of the squeezebox line outs had failed) . Everything works so far, sounds great but question: Who thinks I would improve sound quality by continuing to use WIIM coaxial >...

Hi, I have an Lg TV with hdmi audio out to the WiiM ultra. The WiiM is running to a topping DX5II dac via usb and then on to a pair of Fosi V3 mono amplifiers. Every time I change channel on the TV, there is an approx 2 second delay between the new channel appearing and the audio then returning...

Hi! Could someone summarize the settings required for running the Ultra in passthrough mode, as a pure digital transport? I mainly listen to lossless streaming services and use an external DAC connected via coax. Using the Wiim Ultra as a pure transport seems complicated or at least not...

I’m missing a preset for ”Digital Transport / Passthrough” that ensures that the internal DAC is bypassed. I only listen to lossless streaming services and use an external DAC. Using the Wiim Ultra as a pure transport seems complicated or at least not self-explanatory. It’s prone for...

WiiM Amp, firmware [latest available] I wanted to use an external DAC with my WiimAmp. So I connected an iFi Zen DAC V3, but the USB output wasn't detected. I tested the cable on my computer (it works), the flash drive was detected, I tried a powered hub, and I restored factory settings, but...

Hey! Is it possible to connect an external DAC with WiiM Amp Ultra. Does it make any sense? I'm asking because I'm tempted to try DAC R2R from FiiO - K11 or K13. I wonder if there is any option to combine this? Or is it necessary to switch to WiiM Ultra and a separate amp, e.g. Vibelink?

For some time now, I have been using my WiiM Ultra as a "digital pre-amp" for the digital sources in my system (streaming and CD transport). I have been controlling the volume on the WiiM directly but using a Fosi ZD3 DAC in bypass mode as an external DAC via optical. I don't want to get into...

Is the DAc in the amp ultra better than in the nad c268? I Now have a ultra wich ja connected to the c268 but i always have a delay when switching the Wiim on. It is raster then the nad so i miss 10 sec. I want to buy the Wiim amp ultra

I have had the Wiim Pro for over a year now and have been using it as a streamer with a Cambridge Audio Dacmagic via optical out. Had no issues when new but as of last 2 months (and most likely from last firmware update) i am facing an issue where when I turn on and try to play music via Tidal-...

Dumb question, trying to connect ultra to a qutest dac, dac has rca's out to a Hegel pre amp, want to use ultra as a transport but I must have it set up wrong.. heads fried..
