wiim ultra

Just bought a Wiim Ultra to help me get up to speed with modern audio. I started with what I thought was the most straightforward test and plugged my portable pc into the usb port only discover it doesn't seem to support usb audio in. A brief google and a usb-to-optical/coaxial/hdmi/...

The Ultra replaced a Raspberry Pi running Volumio, a USB Atom DAC from JDS Labs, and a Bluetooth receiver, and, after some debate, even the Musical Fidelity Nu Vista pre-amp (slightly better phono stage but otherwise audibly very much the same). The Volumio etc in turn replaced an older Squeeze...

Airplay from Phone to Airport Express v2 I already owned, Firmware Airplay (1) so is 16/44 lossless, to Toslink into Ultra. Sounds amazing. WiiM should have just included it! 🙄 (Note: Hi-Res Lossless button on Dominique Nameless song is what is capable, not what is playing: LPCM 16/44.1...

Signal chain: Apple TV 4th gen. With HDMI out to: Ultra via Toslink to: Marantz 4240 via RCA to: ZA3 mono blocks via Russound ADP-1.2 Speaker-level to Line-level Adapter to: Dali 7 towers and RSL 10s Previously had WiiM Pro. Purchased the Ultra for its improved DAC chip and Bass management...

Have just got my ultra delivered, will be connected to a Rotel A12 amp to stream Tidal to Mission speakers. Can l connect the line-out, coax and/or optical outputs to the amp and switch between them? The Rotel has separate switchable inputs for all 3........will it cause any hiccups doing...

which high end Audio RCA Cable from line out to KEF LS50 Wireless speakers would be the best recommendation? My Budget is Limited to 300€!

I have a pretty standard (I think) set up. Ultra, TV. Record player, cd player (actually a blueray player) and a cassette deck. When I first got the Ultra I had the TV connected via HDMI but I had problems with it. For example, sometimes I like to watch the cricket while listening to music. But...

As of now, my Wiim Ultra is hooked up to my NAD 3020 integrated amp using standard RCA cables. Two questions: 1. Is there a way to use a coax cable to hook up the Wiim Ultra to the amp without bypassing its DAC? I was told that if I used a coax cable, I would bypass Wiim's DAC and the NAD DAC...

Any way to make the search accent agnostic ? For example, I search for Paco de Lucía but all Lucia results also show up. Also, with the same example in mind: if Paco is playing on different albums, I will get the result of - say - 1 song on a compilation, but I don't see a way to show me the...

Hi, I setup my new WiiM Ultra a few days ago and liked it so much I ordered 2 more. Today I went to setup one in the living room and it kept saying wrong password somewhere, and somewhere it said WPA3 not supported. I tried several times. Since I have 2 new ones that I bought, I tried the...

I have several Pros that I have in non critical listening areas, but I use piCorePlayer touchscreens on my 3 dedicated listening areas, one just audio, and 2 audio/theater. To use with just a power amp and sub, I use(d) miniDSP 2x4 HDs and I never got the systems to sound good. I just tried a...

The DAC chip in my Yamaha integrated amp is an ESS SABRE ES9010K2M, which looks pretty similar to the slightly newer chip in the Ultra, as far as I can tell from spec sheets. Any wisdom to share on whether I’m likely to be happier using coax and the Yamaha DAC or RCA cables and the DAC in the...

As the title says. I’m having the same issue with line in — even though it’s set to automatically switch inputs, it doesn’t. These are my settings. Thanks all!

Hi, it doesn't work even it's listed as added. Has anyone had a chance to try it?

Hello, My question is: if I decided to add an external DAC to the WiiM Ultra via USB out, with the DAC set to "DAC mode" (fixed 100% volume), and then start Roomfit, would it know how loud the pink noise should be as to not blow out the speakers, or do I actually have to manually adjust the...

HI all, In my living room I have a Yamaha RX-V585, which I use for movies and music. Front L&R and centre are Scansonic HD M20. Rears are Definitive Technology D7s. Sub is Polk PSW111. I’ve been using Spotify Connect to stream directly to the Yammy. I’m testing Qobuz but I can’t use Qobuz...

Is there a way to get Ultra to show Now Playing info when listening to BBC Radio stations? Like would be seen on most DAB radios.

Dear Community, i followed the RoomFit instruction settings by forum experts (see forum post attached) and i am very upset after testing 3 hours straight without good results :/ Disclaimer: I am absolute noob and i need your help to interpret the results. Everytime i use roomfit it seems my...

Hi all, I'm not sure this is possible but… I have a Mac mini in my home 2 channel audio stack running Audirvana Origin using a local library of high resolution music files. I am able to set the Audirvana Origin output to UPnP and it finds my Ultra as an available "output device". I have Source...

I have the SMSL SU-1 connected to my Wiim Ultra via Coaxial and the sample rate is set to fixed because if not I get popping/clicking noises. I have tried Optical and USB (which is worse). I have researched this and changed settings, but still have the issue, even when I tried it with another...
