New Ultra

[Bill Mac]

That is what I know about the 700. It is dated 2019, but this would confirm the device has a USB DAC.

Thank you for taking the time to post this information, much appreciated! I currently have a USB hard drive connected to the rear USB-A input and it plays DSD/DSF files just fine. My comment about the USB-DAC Asynchronous input and a USB-B input port. The M2 has it but not the M1.

*sorry about the huge picture!

Thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed. It looks like using coaxial might be the only option. Thought the Technics SL-G700M1 had a USB-DAC input but it's just a USB-A input. Have a feeling connecting the Ultra to the rear panel USB-A input of the SL-G700 is going to be problematic.

This is an English translation of the Japanese SL-G700 manual.
The front USB is marked for USB memory and the rear USB for HDD.

I expect you just need to wait a bit longer. The UK has had all the previous promos I can recall.

I would assume many wiim member here are from Europe.

 

[bherren]

We have about 20% off here in Australia too

 

[slartibartfast]

We will probably get a discount for 5 minutes next Friday

Black Friday Month isn't over, yet.

I was looking at buying the Ultra as my first Wiim product , I'll keep checking Amazon UK for Black Friday deals

I didn't measure the temperature, yet but they're running hot (with hot as in hot). I set them to auto on for that reason. I wouldn't run them without any load for any prolonged time.

I find these temperatures quite surprising for a class D chip amp with external power brick, but obviously it "normal" with the V3 Monos.

I also use two Fosi Amp Mono V3 Amp and, although not that disturbung, they run a bit hot for my taste

So I tweak them, after some investigation around how to do it, and came up with this solution (not expensive and bought all on amazon.es).



Under around three hours of listening music at a generous volume, pressing hard with my hand on top:

Before: after some seconds I had to get my hand of. It started to be unconfortable.

Now: I can keep my hand. It's warm+ but not unconfortable.


Sorry I don't have the means to measure "scientificaly".
The initial test was with one of them like this and the other not. The difference was obvious on touch. I believe that some 10ºC or more less (but no way to measure).

PS - If anyone is interested I can put the links of the materials

2 x four units of heat sinks: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0D9H63TBR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
1 x reel of high temperature resistant double sided tape (for the feet): https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0F59VTG1L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Regarding the feet I will have to double check. I might have bought them in physical store (Leroy Merlin). Anyway I will try to get their reference. Just to tell you they are solid metal drawer pulls . The rubber on them it's the original Fosi's. I pulled them out and resticked them on the new "feet".
