SMSL SU-1 DAC with Ultra?

[BowsAndArrows]

I wish there were more new equipment using AKM DACs.

There was a fire at the AKM factory a couple of years ago that massively disrupted their operations...

I think they are back to normal now but over the past couple of years many manufacturers switched to ESS or TI chips. Even for older products that had AKM chips originally.

Or in Linn’s case, developed their own Organik DAC..

Yes, happily returned home to look after her little WiiM children

I am using my Wiim Ultra with the Willsenton R8 and PMC FB-1 speaker and the sound was very good. I added the SMSL SU-1 to this setup and the sound blew me away. There is a great improvement in the sound separation and the sound stage is awesome. The AKM 4493 chip on the SU-1 made the difference. SU-1 is highly recommended
