Hello everybody,
just bought the wiim ultra (a week ago) and i have some doubts.
I've done some testing and using it as a streamer connected to the audiolab 7000A(integrated amplifier) via RCA and optical sounds about the same to me.
Maybe a little better using rca.

I tried also connecting it using an usb cable to the audiolab but after a while the wiim ultra begin to drop the connection, can it be the low quality cable?
In this case it's using the audiolab's dac?? Is this connection better than the other 2?

Anyway, the audiolab integrated amp can also be used as a power amplifier, In fact I use it as a power amp with my Denon 4700H for the front speakers.
I also tried connecting the wiim ultra as a preamp using the audiolab in power amp mode and like this I could here a lot of difference,
More fuller dinamic sound, the bass was much stronger and tighter.
Makes sense or it's just my immagination?

i would like to use it like this, the ultra as a pre and the audiolab as a power amp, but i don't want to unplug the denon and plug the wiim everytime.
Can i buy a switch of any sort to solve this?

Thank you.
