Emperor's new clothes springs to mindI think you are probably right.
Seems the incidence of aural aurum directly correlates to HiFi expenditure

So king @Steve Woodhouse got elevated to emperor? Hail the emperor with his new ultra!Emperor's new clothes springs to mind![]()
My work colleague bought a wiim ultra with full expectations, and his first impressions brought him disappointment. He already has a wiim pro plus like me and he also has a bluesound node. Before that, he was very excited about the wiim pro plus, but now with the wiim ultra, he says that bluesound sounds better with his kind of settings.

But who do you think cares about your pointing?But I’m more like the little boy pointing out to the deluded that there’s no difference between the new clothes and nothing at all.
How can you affirm such things?"sorry, your colleague is probably the only person in the planet who’s heard both the Pro Plus and Ultra and thinks the former sounds better.

He said he listened to the Mini and the Ultra connected to the same DAC and couldn't tell the difference.@Steve Woodhouse
A short addition: If you don't want or are able to try to reach the last percentages of sound quality that's completely ok. For you! But your partly outrageous way of calling others who can or want to invest more "deluded" just makes you ridiculous.
Its only about the attitude, calling people who think different "deluded".He said he listened to the Mini and the Ultra connected to the same DAC and couldn't tell the difference.

Apparently, an external dac at price range of let say 600 would yield better measurements than the ultra. Better measurements yield transparent sound. I don’t know about you and your ear but I could hear a better measuring device. If you say you can’t hear it well too bad it’s not the equipment fault but your ear to blame.PS The ultra can't sound better than the "plus" at best...same in ana or num output* "perfectly transparent "" ;-)))
"steve rules"
( * totally useless digital output because an external dac will not be able to do better than the internal one of the plus or ultra)

I don't understand you anymore..a change of posture? The perfectly transparent beyond the audible is no more? No more "totally indiscernible"? The thresholds of audibility exceeded...etcApparently, an external dac at price range of let say 600 would yield better measurements than the ultra. Better measurements yield transparent sound.

Look you have problem on your hearing that you can’t hear so that’s your problem.I don't understand you anymore..a change of posture? The perfectly transparent beyond the audible is no more? No more "totally indiscernible"? The thresholds of audibility exceeded...etc
