Wiim Ultra as a pre amplifier

[Musician]

The Ultra is a better sounding streamer if connected via USB to a DAC with a filtered USB input with a precision clock.

I use a Ultra exclusively as a streamer with USB out. Very transparent

Yes, the ultra is slightly better I was wrong

Just tried my ultra using phono and notice a continuous popping or clicking. It's not audible when playing something loud ish like pop or rock, but turning the amp vol up when nothing is playing and it's very noticeable, much louder than hum or hiss that you'd get with cheaper analogue phono preamps.

Sounds strange.

Just for the records: What input resolution did you select for line in? The same setting is applied to phono.

Don't recall setting a line in res?

Phono is 16/48

Edit: just checked, reset it to 24/48. I'm using line in for a Denon FM tuner.
