    Ultra with AKM variant?

    I have been thoroughly enjoying the Ultra experience since mid-July. I posted elsewhere about my Dac testing with Ultra, my A10 amp and the SU-1 which has the AKM AK4493S Dac which I think sounds more dynamic, punchier than the ES9038Q2M. I know audio preference is subjective and not every will...

    Wiim Ultra - Phono to Chromecast?

    Good evening, i am interested in the Wiim Ultra streamer - mainly because of it's touch display to avoid the use of my smartphone from time to time - especially when other family members wanna listen to online-radio or their favourite streaming music without the need of flimsing around the...

    Fixed Volume Output - Resets to 100%

    I noticed that shutting off fixed volume output starts the ‘unfixed’ volume level a 100%. Thankfully I shut my source off before noticing this otherwise my 400w rms per channel amp would have blown my ear drums straight through the back of my skull…..and most likely damaged my speakers. Wouldn’t...

    Loud Popping Sounds With External DAC When Sample Rate Changes or Wakes from Standby – Anyone Else?

    I’m experiencing an ongoing issue with my WiiM Ultra streamer when using external DACs, and I’m wondering if others have encountered the same problem. The issue is as follows: whenever the sample rate changes, I hear loud popping sounds – sometimes 2, 3, or 4 consecutive pops. This also happens...

    Room correction

    Hi! Any advice on room correction. I am a happy owner of the Wiim Ultra. As a total inexperienced person, I tried to take a measurement with my Samsung smartphone with the default values of the Wiim home app and the result is what you see...if I understood correctly, the white line is my...

    SMSL SU-1 DAC with Ultra?

    Has anyone tried the SMSL SU-1 DAC with the Ultra and if so, what were your thoughts? Im loving my Ultra so far, but I am curious to how much more it could be improved with the addition of a relatively cost effective external DAC.

    Sub out question

    I have an external USB DAC with a Sub coming from the Ultra and also have the sub slider to YES. What happens? Does the DAC only get the frequencies above the crossover? Or does the DAC get the full 20-20k? And I have the line out wired to an external headphones. And if I switch...

    Ultra App Doesn't Recognize Device

    Initially the app recognized my Ultra just fine, but the past few times I have used it, the app starts up on my iPad and it is unable to locate the Ultra device. When I unplug and reboot the Ultra box, then it is able to quickly recognize it. The Wi-Fi is connected and working and the iPad is...

    Dynamics control and/or dialogue enhancement

    I'm not sure what kind of onboard DSP capabilities the Ultra has, but I think it would be useful if there were some sort of dynamics control, like a "night mode" for using HDMI ARC as a home theater setup. While I appreciate movies and shows with a big dynamic range of sounds, it would be nice...

    Remote

    The remote is not always responsive. When not using the remote for a longer time, when trying to change the volume, or when trying to turn off the unit, I have to click multiple times to get any response. Do you have it like that too? Is this some kind of standby mode?

    Hi to all I would like to use a Trigger cable between the Ultra and my Topping D50 Pro Sabre. However, I am completely incompetent in this regard. I need help. On Amazon I found this: Would this be okay for the purpose? If not, can you suggest a short cable I could use? Possibly on Amazon. I...

    About WiiM Ultra USB Out

    Hi to all I intend to buy the WiiM Ultra because I like it, for the aluminum chassis, for the screen and above all for the USB audio output. I will wait, however, a little longer to ensure that the small defects that inevitably accompany the first series of a device are eliminated. I will use...

    I don't know if I made the right choice?

    Hello everyone. I've just received the Ultra. At first, I was excited when I found out about the WiiM. But as I've been reading the forum for the past week, I've become worried. I was hoping to use the Ultra in my bedroom, on my bedside table, as a headphone amp. Sources used: TuneIn, amazon...
