No sub issues. I set the sub volume at 70 db and the same with the mains and then ran the room eq. So far it’s been great.
To come back to topic ;-)How's the sub doing? Does it cut out?
I cannot detect any difference in behaviour between WiiM AMP and WiiM Ultra. I also cannot confirm any relative difference between mains and sub volume.Although, one volume click down (usually around 20%) and the mains seem to reduce that one click, but my perception is that the sub reduces 5 clicks or so. I just don't seem to notice that on my WiiM Amp, but it is a different speaker/sub setup in a different room.
WiiM Ultra (Fixed volume at 50%)
- RCA to Fosi ZA3 (100% volume)
- KEF Q150
- RCA to SVS 3000 Micro (-2db volume)
- LFE (LP crossover disabled on sub)
- Crossover set at 120hz (but isue repros wherever this is set)
Well... I relocated the sub and, now I'm having the same problem..LMFAO.. wondering if it's the cable now. Have a "nicer" cable coming in tomorrow. See what happens.Has anyone using sub has this problem?
If that fixes the issue for you (and I have no doubt it does) you could just as well have increased the sub level in the WiiM Home App by 5 dB and reduced the volume on the sub by the same amount.For anyone still here, I figured out how to fix my similar problem with the subwoofer not playing during low volume. It was doing it with my Denon receiver and the Wiim Ultra, so I'm sure it's not a Wiim Ultra problem. It's the subwoofer. The fix? Elevated the 5.3db EQ .. and boom .. now working.
I tried that and found when I did raise the music volume the bass would be too elevated... But, lowering the bass unit itself would've helped as you stated, Kinda wished my new amp had a bass out right now. The EQ thing is helping out with how I like my sound (warm) too so huge win for me.If that fixes the issue for you (and I have no doubt it does) you could just as well have increased the sub level in the WiiM Home App by 5 dB and reduced the volume on the sub by the same amount.
If you like the new EQ better anyway you can leave it like that, of course.
You're using the WiiM Ultra as the only pre-amp, no other device with its own volume control?I tried that and found when I did raise the music volume the bass would be too elevated...

Yes, Wiim Ultra (is my preamp ) straight to the amp. No in between, not yet anyway. Dam tempted to grab the Denefrips 12th-1 to put in between the twoYou're using the WiiM Ultra as the only pre-amp, no other device with its own volume control?
The dac built on ultra will satisfy casual listeners but the hardcore audiophile.Yes, Wiim Ultra (is my preamp ) straight to the amp. No in between, not yet anyway. Dam tempted to grab the Denefrips 12th-1 to put in between the two
It's good but I got used to my headphone tubed amplifier, I have a heavily modified Darkvoice336 with some premium tubes. I do like the sound of the Wiim. It's with certain tracks I miss the vocal tone of some jazz artists. But for EDM. Banger. Wiim Ultra sounds great.The dac built on ultra will satisfy casual listeners but the hardcore audiophile.
I see 5.3dB boost is set for 125H. What crossover frequency have you for sub cutoff?For anyone still here, I figured out how to fix my similar problem with the subwoofer not playing during low volume.

I maxed it out 250, I was wondering what that 125 represented...I see 5.3dB boost is set for 125H. What crossover frequency have you for sub cutoff?
That's a bit much for a single mono subwoofer ...I maxed it out 250
Not if the Wiim is controlling it, it cuts off where I have it set. Right now (I think) I have the cutoff at 40That's a bit much for a single mono subwoofer ...
Not if the Wiim is controlling it, it cuts off where I have it set. Right now (I think) I have the cutoff at 40, I play with it, sometimes at 130, sometimes at 80, but never maxed. (Using bookshelf speakers that drop to rated 40 low)
So, you mean your sub is set to 250 Hz so it doesn't interfere with the Ultra's bass management? That's OK.Not if the Wiim is controlling it, it cuts off where I have it set. Right now (I think) I have the cutoff at 40, I play with it, sometimes at 130, sometimes at 80, but never maxed.
I’m the same thinking about trying an r2r dac. Heard the fiio is coming out with the k11 r2r. Not sure on the quality though. But might be worth trying if nothing else to dip my toes in the r2r dac world.Yes, Wiim Ultra (is my preamp ) straight to the amp. No in between, not yet anyway.
