Sorted.

Thank you simbun and d6jg.

In closing I would just add don't go too far with the WiiM/USB approach before you try a server.
Most can be easily be spun up on Windows/Mac for testing purposes.

As its early days make sure you set dbPoweramp up to:-

write FLACs at level 5 - you can always convert downward after the event but never upward
write file names using discno and trackno with leading zeros e.g discno-trackno-tracktitle.flac - 01-05-something.flac (this aids sorting when looking at files via various software tools)
and add ReplayGain tags - you do this in DSP section of dbPoweramp (not the Apply version which permanently increases volume)

@simbun has some additional settings that I can't find right now but also represent best practice

From a previous post.

The problem is that not all of the useful tags are available through dBpoweramp e.g. DiscSubtitle, ReleaseType, OriginalReleaseDate etc

That is true. Some post processing via mp3tag is usually required.

Question - in my library I use (Multiple Artists) as the Album Artist tag in all of my digital media comp album files (with Media Center Pro,) will this work for Wiim Ultra?

Whilst I don't have an Ultra/Amp to verify this with, MiniDLNA (the foundation of WiiM's server) takes only the first from a multi-value tag, so I would expect the same from the Ultra.

EDIT: If you're storing track artists in the AlbumArtist tag, this will likely cause albums to be split as it's the combination of Album and AlbumArtist that form albums.
