My experience with Wiim Ultra

[mlsstl]

I'm confused. Here we are in a thread titled "My experience with Wiim Ultra" and we have 25 posts from someone who, in his own words, says "I have not experimented with the Ultra yet, just been too busy...." But we do know his opinion on just about everything else.

In my case, I've used mine for over half a year now and think.its great

...using two Ultras since mid. of Dec. '24 and I can confirm, they are great. But I must say, all my WiiM-devices are great (started with Minis, later get one of the first Pro). They are all in use and I'm exited every time anew.

What does acting like an A hole have to do with either?

Dear me - how sophisticated a response.

What, you expect something more back to somebody acting like that? Hardly worth the effort.

Did we not get a notice from the moderator to straighten up here and I said I would but also not put up with the behavior of others. The rules apply to all, not those that think they are above them and post childish remarks

OK, everybody. This is our big chance! What are your thoughts about the Wiim Ultra?

It would be nice if you stop the diary and start sharing your experiences with the Ultra.

Did you not read my previous polite request to keep this discussion civil, and on topic please.

 

[RAAM]

Sorry about that, I will behave in that manner.

Do you care about the behavior of others here? It seems being a moderator covers that area as well, I should know, been on forums for decades and have served as a moderator, where I actually moderated.

Most of their posts are acting like spoiled little brats and nothing about the OP's original post or his further posts and where I am actually offering advice that was asked for.

Most sincerely,
Rick

I am getting emails with more way off topic posts here but they are not showing up when I check the site, why is that?

I hope maybe they are being deleted so the thread can be on point instead of wasting everyone's time.

I would be interested to know exactly which post led to such an abusive comment, just to understand you a little better.

I apologize for the misunderstanding, it was not aimed at you at all, it was a timing issue. It seems some posts may of been removed, not sure, I think there were some that should of been or at least warnings posted to the poster.

This thread is off the rails. Anyways, I have the amp, if I buy the Ultra would I be able to do 5.1? Utilizing the Amp for my rear channels. Has anyone experienced this new feature?

Back to the OP's first post, I'm perfectly happy with the Ultra's built-in DAC. I originally had a Bifrost 2 and a Modi Multibit 2 and spent quite a bit of time doing A/B comparisons, including syncing and level-matching the output. After many hours, was never able to reliably tell the difference. But, I gave up my audiophile card years ago after the conversations on the audio forums got so silly. I made the decision to sell my external DACs and go with the Wiim's since it made things so much simpler (which my wife really appreciates.) Made the same decision to go all Wiim with my second system and headphone setup (Wiim Pro and Pro Plus, respectively.) No regrets -- enjoying my music daily.

And, I like the Wiim app and have been impressed with their constant stream of updates, though they still have a ways to go with respect managing the active play queue (adding/deleting individual songs and reordering the play list, adding tracks from different sources, etc.)
