Upgrading the power supply for Wiim ultra

[venkyrenga]

I currently have a Wiim Pro and upgraded the power supply with Allo Shanti. It has made a significant improvement in sound quality. Now I want to buy Wiim Ultra but it has a different terminal for the power chord. Can someone tell me if or how I can connect the Allo Shanti to Wiim Ultra?

Thanks in advance.

The power supply is built into the Ultra, whereas the Pro has an external power supply.

Quite sure you can not. The Ultra's power supply is an internal one.

Is the built in power supply of the same standards or better than Allo Shanti?

How would I know, I have never heard of Allo Shanti.

It is good enough. Why should WiiM include a bad power supply?

Well, they did with Pro and Pro plus. Upgrading the power supply to Allo Shanti made a huge difference in that case atleast for streaming.

On the DAC or on the digital output?

And what is the difference?

It's on the digital output as I don't use the DAC in the Wiim. Initially I connected it to Audiolab 6000A and the difference was not night and day but it was noticable. The sound had more body to it. After I upgraded to Audiolab 9000A the difference was day and night. The power supply that came with Wiim made the music sound anaemic in comparison to Allo Shanti which gave more warmth and body.

So now I wonder, Wiim pro with Allo Shanti or Wiim Ultra.

That is simply not possible and most be something that you imagine.

The digital signal will not be modified by anything comming from the power supply. If it did, the CPU would crash.

Oh God! How could I imagine such things unless I am hallucinating. I am saying the difference is day and night. And I am also being specific about how much difference it makes with 6000A and 9000A. There are many youtube reviews that suggest the same.

I do not know the technicalities of how the digital signal works but I certainly know better sound when I hear it as I have been into this hobby for quite a few years now.

The Audiolab 9000A will clearly make a difference but you can never convince me that the provided power supply for the WiiM has anything to do with that.

A bad power supply may introduce noise and jitter that distorts the SPDIF signal but then it has to be very bad and will probably make the processors in the WiiM fail also.

You seem to be very active negating other people’s experiences, aligning yourself with a techno-rigid ideology. You always state absolute tenets that are far from absolute. A digital signal path can carry a bit perfect stream and still sound different on the outbound due to noise RFI/EMI intermodulations. Some among us can hear stuff others do not hear, or perhaps do not care about.

Hang on, lemme get comfy - ahhh, that's better - do carry on

Well, you seem to have both asked, and answered, your question.

This is true. They walk amongst us.

Maybe looking on Gabby's videos. He has a lot of stuff for the "walking amongst us".
