Please someone explain

I have some questions. If I have an integrated can I hook up a wiim ultra as a source and be able to use the hdmi to my tv, and a subwoofer or does that automatically make the Ultra perform as the Pre-amp? Just curious as to what functions the WIIM Uktra has that you can use without having the Uktra perform as a Pre-amp. Is the Bass Management like Hogh Passing the Main require the Uktra to be used as a pre-amp or would the Ultra just pass the Freuencies above your set point to your integrated as a source? Can watching TV and listening to it through the HDMI to the Ultra, then Ultra to the integrated through optical be down ne as a source or does that mean the Ultra has to become the preamp?

If you want to use bass management, then you need to use it as a preamp

If you just want to use it as an input selector / source with EQ then you can connect it to your integrated amp as a fixed volume source but any bass management would have to come from the integrated amp or maybe the sub it's self depending on how you're setup.
