I have recently added the Ultra into my main audio system and it’s made a really big improvement. After comparing digital and analogue connections, I have the ultra connected to my Linn Majik DSi (DSM) via (Origin Live) analogue interconnects.
The Ultra is set to fixed volume and the Linn does the volume adjustment. I was able to change the volume setting in the Linn so that it does not Digitise the input.
The music is a real step up compared with streaming directly from the Linn DSi (which in itself is very good). I guess the DACs have improved massively over the 15 years between their respective designs.
I have also tried the Ultra directly connected to my power amp, but found this inferior to the setup I have now. I think it is likely to do with using the digital volume within the Ultra.
