Okay, for starters, I'm a new WiiM patron, just got the Ultra from amazon last week new and delivered to my door for $263.20 less 7% cash back. No one else has this type/quality Hi-Fi tech at this price point....PERIOD! It has been a wonderful product to use over the last week. It has replaced a hodgepodge of discrete chi-fi components (FiiO BTA30A Pro DAC, U-Turn Pluto phono pre-amp, Douk U3 headphone amp, and a Fosi P4 Preamp). Is the WiiM superior to all of these, probably not, I think the DAC is about the same, except the FiiO was a turd to operate, I'm pretty sure the U-Turn's phono stage is a wee bit better, but not noticeable to my ears and the fact it's integrated to the Ultra makes it awesome! The Douk headphone amp is the same, might every so slightly edge out the Ultra on measurements but I would never know the difference and again, it's baked in baby, right on the front! The Fosi P4 is a fantastic little pre-amp, but it's not needed now and doubt it's any better or worse.
FWD a few days and I discovered my lovely Sony XM-4 BT headphones were having poor streaming quality from the WiiM. After a number of hours over the past several days and working with WiiM support (which are FANTASTIC btw) and the forum users/moderators here, I have come to the conclusion that the Sony XM-4's flat out don't work with the WiiM Ultra. They have worked with everything else I have which is the FiiO BTA30A Pro, Arylic BP50 (it's my workbench troubleshooting all-in-one cheap pre-amp), several of our android phones, and my 2018 iPad Pro.
I just sold my XM-4 10 mins ago, so I'm on the search for a new set.
Thank you,
Roy
