Going to hear these today, I have a small REL sub (Tzero MKIII) that I may try to integrate. Listening distance is 1.8m.

my question is will the Ultra be able to control the volume to USB 1.1 input? 16bit with USB / 48khz

I can try the analog inputs, they are 1/4" TRS (Balanced?) not sure about converting to RCA.

I recommend Kali LP-UNF.

The width is 6.5inch so it will fit your desk. It has unbalanced (RCA), balanced (TRS) and SPDIF inputs - you can try WiiM Ultra's RCA and S/PDIF and choose what you'd like.

Alternatively, you can also try IK Multimedia's iLoud Micro Monitor Pro. It has a room correction function.

These are small speakers, indeed. Note that they do need some.space.tonthe left and right due to the passive radiators. Depending on what space permits, a conventional reflex design might be the better choice for you.


Theses may be inexpensive desktop speakers, but they have been designed as (small) monitors, so all the DSP stuff generally makes some sense.

Except that your WiiM Ultra can do all that already, so you pay for something you don't really need. The choice of (better) loudspeakers is endless, but not at this very low price point (330 € per pair). These KEF Q3 plus WiiM Vibelink Amp are good example. They will certainly offer better performance, but you'll have to spend ~1070 €.

The walnut finish Q3 can currently be found at a discounted price, depending on where you live) that could save you 150 €.

Yeah, seems any powered monitors with class D amps would always need an ADC for the analog input? USB output on Ultra was supposed to be good?

would not be much space for the passive radiators on the Adam either.

Not too worried about price. happy to spend more.

I heard the the KEF Q3 Meta - it was wonderful using the Ultra DAC/Vibelink, unfortunately I need something 6" (150mm) wide or so for my small shelf.

I can barely squeeze something like Kali LP-UNF, much prefer a bit smaller.
