    SPDIF or Toslink out? Why?

    WiiM Ultra, are you using SPDIF or Toslink out? Why? I'm curious if one is "better" and if you've done A/B testing. Audio only, 2-channel setup WiiM Ultra > BlueRigger toslink > Schiit Modius > WBC Mogami XLR > Buckeye Amps NC252MP For less than $20 to around $50 = there are plenty of...

    DAC use

    I have a Wiim Ultra, but find it a little harsh with my Quad Atera Play+ and Artera Stereo power amp to Spendor speakers. The CD is great with no harshness. If I add a Signature v2 will it play the CD through the Zen DAC or canI keep the internal Quad DAC for the CD and just use the Zen for the...

    Any sound advantage when passing signal through additional tube preamp?

    I have seen people passing signal from Wiim streamers through additional analog tube preamps (such as AIYIMA T1 or T2 or FOSI P3) before going into integrated amp. Is there any audible improvement in audio as a result? In my opinion the more processing (3 preamps in a row in this case) can only...

    Anyone with experience with Toslink-to-HDMI audio embedders?

    Ok, I understand there are very good reasons to not to use these devices but unfortunately my current audio setup is lacking of enough audio inputs (1 optical, 1 non-eARC HDMI). So far I have been using the optical input but it is limited to 96khz playback and I really want to get as much as...

    I'm looking to use my UMIK-1 mic with the Ultra for taking room correction measurements. I bought a USB-A female to Apple lightening adapter cable but the adapter does not provide power.

    Two suggestions

    Submitted this to feedback 1 - Would be nice for an album cover only display when playing music. My (FABULOUS) ultra is too far away to read text anyhow. 2 - Would be nice to have an option on what page WiiM opens to. For example I would like it to be Qobuz Discover. Cheers

    Full use without a smartphone

    I read in various posts that it seems not to be possible to browse or search for songs directly from the touch screen, but those posts were from 2024. I wanted to know if it is now possible to use the WiiM completely without a phone. I bought it to use on a shared terrace and I was hoping that...

    What are the chances the line out on my new WIIM Ultra is DOA?

    I'm getting no sound coming from a line output. RCA Cable is tested with another system, used 3 sets of powered speakers, changed Line Output audio settings, the headphone output works fine (sounds incredible actually). The only way I could get any sound was by using an amp/speaker setup and...

    VU meter is artificially boosted to always appear pegging into the red

    My chain: Tidal (via ethernet) - > wiim ultra -> USB -> Eversolo DAC Z8 -> xlr -> smsl h400 headphone amp. I use the wiim as a streamer only. Using (100%) fixed volume to my external DAC, the VU meter on the wiim ultra is always pegging into the red, almost maxed out. This is without me using...

    Use low-level or .1 sub input from Ultra?

    Going to try this small REL sub, it has 2 different coaxial inputs, low-level and .1 everything I read says .1 is not supported with PCM 2.0, use the low-level input? I am assuming the Ultra takes the 5.1 DD/AC3 and converts to 2.0 PCM, so curious what the advantage is opposed to an ARC input...

    Noise shaping and the Ultra DAC

    Its important to , in the WiiM meny select 24 bit 96 kHz ( the default toslink output resolution is 16 bit 48 kHz ) . Theres a bug ( or was? ) that makes the ultra used as a dac sounding worse than it should when 16bit/48 is selected. Amirs review at ASR shows this with 16bit 48kHz selected in...
