WiiM Amp Ultra

[Cal_Cobra]

Hi Cal_Cobra,
how is the sound different between WiiM Amp Pro an WiiM Amp Ultra? I have the WiiM Amp Pro with the Wharfedale Evo 4.4 Speakers and the Sound is good but maybee i by a WiiM Amp Ultra to. Best Regards an sorry for my english.

The WiiM Amp Ultra isn't scheduled to be delivered until next week. Looks like I'll have something fun to do 4th of July weekend other than watch fireworks and drink beer (although the later is important ). Once I get it, and get some hours in testing it out, I'll post my initial impressions. I have [gulp] three WiiM Ultras, and a WiiM Amp Pro already, so it'll be interesting to see if the WiiM Amp Ultra is a worthy upgrade.

There are Amp Ultras in the wild and soon those users will report on it. What I hear is that performance is at the VibeLink level.

I saw mention of speaker connecter concerns on a post in here somewhere.
Can you tell if these connectors will work, which is what I have now on the WiiM Amp.

Those connectors should work okay, but the Amp Ultra is supplied with a perfectly good set of banana plugs, so why not try them first.

Indeed. Those who have have said there’s barely a whisker between the Amp Ultra and the Ultra/Vibelink

Definitely will. The lack of clearance around the RCA jacks on the Ultra was an odd oversight, but such an easy fix (literally cost nothing to make the hole around the RCA jack a few mm larger).

The lack of clearance around the RCA jacks on the Ultra

Not an issue for me

 

[BK308]

Not an oversight. The included RCA cables work great

Both the vibelink and amp ultra have more (and the same) clearance around the rca jacks than the ultra.
Larger cables are a snug fit, some might still not fit.

What's pretty wild is that these diminutive amps (vibelink and amp ultra) can go toe to toe with much bigger and more expensive amps (yes, yes, size and money do not necessarily a champion make) and barely suffer a nosebleed until things get really heated.
Colour me impressed.
