About WiiM Ultra USB Out

[Smartplug]

It’s funny many of them connect external dac that cost 100 and expect grand scale uplift. For the most part you get what you pay for.

What dac are you using?

Ferrum Erco gen. 2 . It is also a headphone amp and listening to music with headphones with the Wiim and Erco is very enjoyable.

Hello, so i've tried to connect the Ultra to my Ayon's USB input. In app, there is no option for USB, not disabled, not greyed out, simply it does not exist. Ok i only have some old USB cable from external HDD but if i understood correctly, USB output option should be at least visible in app, right? I've bought Ultra few days ago and updated it immediately on first powering on. New cable or am i missing something? Thank you!

Try another cable, I think the Ultra has to see the connection first. So maybe the cable is bad.

When I first set mine up, I never saw USB either so I set it up as coax or toslink out. I can’t remember which one. Hooked up my dac with USB cable and viola It showed up.

Yup, changed the USB cable and now it works.

Yup, it was an old cable and only one i've got so i borrowed another to test it and it worked, recognised the DAC immediately.
