An unimaginable torture: Ultra or Amp Pro

[Steve Woodhouse]

Is sub out still controlled by the separate dac chip?

No, it clearly wouldn't be.

The WiiM Ultra would split the signal digitally into low and high frequency signals. The internal DAC would then decode the low frequency portion and send that to the sub out. The high frequency digital portion would be sent to the external DAC.

I'm incredibly sceptical that anyone could tell the difference between any two decent (or even average) DACs purely listening to the 20hz-c.100hz portion of the frequency spectrum.

Yes.

 

[Steve Woodhouse]

Yes.

Sorry, I presume you mean by ‘control’ and ‘separate DAC chip’ you’re talking about bass management, etc., in the DAC that’s IN the Ultra.

By ‘separate DAC chip’ I presumed onlyoneme was referring to any external DAC.
