Correct! 24/7.

Ok cool

Have had my Fiio K11 R2R dac for a few weeks now. Love it. NOS mode is so sublime and relaxed sounding. The ESS dac in the ultra is quite good though. Little bright for my tastes. The R2R matches well coming out of my Ultra into my Integrated Tube amp and Wharfdale speakers. Highly reconnected dac.

Sounds like the Fiio K11 R2R is a great match for your setup. I’m curious, does it make vocals and acoustic music sound warmer or more natural compared to the ESS DAC? Really helpful to hear your thoughts

A little warmer in my opinion. I was listening to some Shirley Horn earlier this evening. Wonderful jazz singer. Her vocals and the music had no edge to them at all. The Fiio dac is a great match with my system

Simple.... connect via the ultra usb output and it'll never auto turn off

As i learned in another thread: When using a subwoofer - USB Out may will be not the best option to run a DAC when you wanna profit of the Sub Out Settings of the Wiim Ultra.

If development goes smoothly, the sub-out will be available this week with USB output. We'll see how it goes.
