Amirm’s review of the WiiM Ultra

[harkpabst]

It's interesting to read the thread now that after Amirms review all seem to agree that the phono stage sucks. But to me, just using my ears I think it sounds very good to be honest.

I certainly didn't agree because I made up my mind long before Amir's review.

I just don't think it's really suitable for MC cartridges. Amir originally hadn't even published THD+N/SINAD for the MM setting, but for the MC setting only. That didn't look to good. He added the graphs for MM when I asked about it.

The phono input might not be exceptional but it's good enough in many cases.

Particularly when some think vinyl has a SINAD of 25dB

When we all know it's 15 dB, max.
