Totally agree. Its already unbelievable how much WiiM has managed to put into the Ultra for that very low price. If they should put even more in for the same price, it would have to decrease the quality on other parts. There is still no free lunch out there, even dough WiiM has made it doable for most musicloversThe Ultra is literally hundreds of pounds cheaper than the competition, and the competition isn’t as good.
You can buy a USB-to-optical converter for very little. You can buy an AirPlay device with digital out and feed the digital input with it.
Now would it be better if the Ultra could do all this without anything additional? Yes, of course.
But it doesn’t, so the option is the Ultra + one or two additional, cheap boxes, or something else costing far more.
Well that's your opinion and you're very welcome to keep it.No, that’s wrong.

USB on streaming are meant for storage or external dac. What are you trying to connect?
As with any business, they are targeting what the majority of people want and invest into those area. Many people have said that they want streamer only like ifi streamer but what wiim did was to develop streamer that include dac at higher performance and at same time it’s upgradeable for those who seek greater performance. Its win win situation who want simplicity and upgrade ability for audiophile.If Wiim is only interested in being a streaming platform so be it, but they are so close to being a decent preamp platform with streaming, it seems a shame to not raise the bar a little more. But it seems to me that the WiiM amp shows they are looking to be more than just another streamer.

The pro plus can already do most of what the ultra can do minus the screen and the volume knob. I'm using one now with an external DAC and it sounds very fine but I feel no need to upgrade until I can put it all in one package and eliminate some cables and complexity ;-)
I don't argue with fanboys...waste of my time. This will be my last reply to you.No, it’s not an opinion.
I have yet to see any reports that there are any issues with the Ultra reading an external drive, other than the odd one we get with any such device, such as long reading times for a large number of files.
Not opinion.
Only if the file system on it is VFAT, NTFS, or EXT4. It will not read an APFS (Apple) file system.No, that’s wrong.

However busy I am, I always have time to ask one of my wiims to play something!Isn't it interesting how much time we all have to waste, even though we say otherwise?
