I realise the Ultra might be ‘sort of’ one of these.

First, just look at what this product does, as it’s 90% of what I’m after (saves me explaining a lot):


Okay. Now, add to this room EQ. Give it enough processing power to handle 10 bands of PEQ and add room correction. Lots of calls for balanced outs, so that too.

And finally, make sure that, unlike the item in the link, give it a great quality DAC, and for that matter a great ADC.

That’s an endgame product.

Looked at from a slightly different perspective, lots of people buying and using these on 2.1/2.2 set ups for the features, flexibility:


Now, make that 2.1/2.2 instead of 5.1/5.2, and make it a stereo pre amp instead of a 5 channel surround sound amp.

And the Arylic does everything it does for just £100, which is just silly. So WiiM have a lot of headroom to up the spec and still keep it at a reasonable price. The Marantz is c.£500, but that includes the amplification.

Over to WiiM to show them how to do it properly.
