Listening test: WiiM Amp Pro vs WiiM Amp Ultra

[More Watts]

Ah yes, fighting useless, harmful, expensive dogma with facts is considered aggressive in this day and age. But, but, mah beleefs....

If I sound aggressive, it is because "an actual forum facilitator (is) mocking the very well thought-out design concepts of these wonderful products." I find that rather alarming, in this forum.

 

[Wiimer]

Not even WiiM markets their products on "sound" differences.

That's not necessarily the case.

In an interview with Japan's Audio Web, they described the sound quality of the Amp, Amp Pro, and Amp Ultra as "Good", "Better", and "Best".

Also, if you're interested, you might ask the WiiM Chatbot about the differences in sound quality between the 3 models.

In any case, that doesn't change the fact that your comments here are inappropriate.

ask the WiiM Chatbot about the differences in sound quality between the 3 models

All of which have to do with how large a room you want to fill with sound, which determines the required amplifier power. Any model works great for desk top systems -- there will be no "sound difference", as illustrated by the OP. Bigger rooms require more power, therefore -- the various amp models. Maybe you should re-run the 'bot.'

I think you guys don't know the difference between 'aggressive' and 'assertive.' I assertively dismiss the very concept of "golden ears." You should also. Since they don't exist. Which allows for the very existence of these wonderful WiiM products.

Still going on about it?
Just send a ticket and ask the team directly.

"an actual forum facilitator (is) mocking the very well thought-out design concepts of these wonderful products."

Then you should soon realise that this is nothing more than your own delusion

How would you interpret this then?

It's not on you to decide if your behaviour is observed as aggressive by others or not. Isn't that a trivial fact?

You are absolutely free to express your option, no matter if it's in line with a moderator's point of view or not. But it's not acceptable to personally attack any community member (moderator or not) because they don't share your conviction. Apart from this, messing with a moderator will only ever lead to the same result in each and every Internet forum ...

I don't want your valuable contributions to be discredited because of inappropriate personal interactions.

".... more detail and dynamic range."

'Dynamic range' means the amp will play louder, because it outputs more watts. This is irrefutable, simply from a look at the specs. So WiiM says so.

'Detail' is immeasurable, per se, but lower noise and distortion can be seen in specs and measurements. However, WiiM is required to use some sort of marketing term, becasue people refuse to learn what the numbers mean.

@slartibartfast and @Wiimer, WiiM appreciates your efforts to always steer people towards their more expensive products.

@dominikz thank you for your 2 wonderful posts on the topic! The sad fact is, that after your fine attempt, only 1 person has posted that they actually tried this test. I see that you also interact at ASR, and that you have posted a link in a post there, to the threads here. You would get alotta interaction if you re-posted these threads at ASR.

I'm not trying to steer anyone towards the more expensive products, WiiM are, understandably. I'm happy with the original Amp.

I don’t have golden ears. However some speakers perform far better with more power than others. So for people with those speakers, this fact alone means the ultra gives them more options.

I have tested tested this with some of my own speakers.

In my experience the Amp Ultra offers a better more life-like sound-field than the Amp Pro. Effortless comes to mind.

FYI, the reason for the post is that the OP asks you to take the tests. And post your results. Only 1 so far....

I don't think he asked for "I have this or that and therefore I like this or that" posts. However, welcome to the interwebs....

Come on guys, try the tests. Post your results. What are you afraid of....
