That's my assumption that the volume control on wiim pro plus remote will increase /decrease the analog output of wiim pro plus.Does that means my assumption is incorrect?output
You can of courseThat's my assumption that the volume control on wiim pro plus remote will increase /decrease the analog output of wiim pro plus.Does that means my assumption is incorrect?
I'm using my WiiM Ultra directly into a power amp (admittedly, less powerful than the C 298) since it became available. The Ultra is as much or as little of a prehamp as the Pro Plus. There's been no problem whatsoever.Iam considering using existing wiim pro plus analog output to Nad 298. I have not yet bought Nad 298. Is the Wiim pro plus analog output to Nad 298 working well. I listen only to Spotify so don't need any additional source inputs.
Well, if it's logical if your streamer is full level...no risk of sudden positive jumps level...@canard
I suppose you are referring to undeliberabte volume changes.
I cannot see how a separate pre-amp would make this any better. It's often mentioned, but I'm dismissing it as theoretical scenario.
With products like the Ultra, the Pro Plus and offerings for other manufacturers I consider classic pre-amps to be a dying breed.
How would you rate the risk of undeliberate volume jumps with a product like the AmpUltra?Well, if it's logical if your streamer is full level...no risk of sudden positive jumps level...
Regarding the use of obsolete preamps... I could also do it, but on a daily basis it really wouldn't occur to me...
Everyone has their own use and practice... Level jump accidents have already happened, and we were singled out, and... it's still a bit like playing Russian roulette with 2 x 180W
I knew that my words would be contradicted...but it is just better not to consider the situation basically as "can do it"....in my opinion and my practice....

Thank You for the explanation and guidanceI'm using my WiiM Ultra directly into a power amp (admittedly, less powerful than the C 298) since it became available. The Ultra is as much or as little of a prehamp as the Pro Plus. There's been no problem whatsoever.
canard is referring to the fact that with a fully digital device with digital volume control (like the WiiM Pro Plus) a software error could in theory lead to the volume setting on the Pro Plus go to full blast unexpectedly. This didn't happen to me once.
The Pro Plus is well capable of controlling the output voltage, of course, as long as there isn't any error. You can also adjust the maximum output voltage to best suit the input sensitivity of the C 298.
Additionally, the C 298 features adjustable gain. If you want to be very, very much on the safe side, you can turn the gain knob fully anti-clockwise, set the WiiM Pro Plus output to the maximum (or as loud as you would ever want it to be). If you end up with the Pro Plus being at 100% and it's not loud enough, you can (carefully!) increase the gain on the C 298 again. It's probably best to reduce the output of the Pro Plus prior to touching the gain knob.
