WiiM Ultra: Connection with Bluetooth Speaker

[andreas.pd]

Hi all,

I am building an entry sound system at my place, which is composed of the following pieces:
- Turntable: Technics SL1200 MK-2
- Speaker: Teenage Engineering OD-11 (Cloud / Bluetooth speaker) https://teenage.engineering/guides/od-11

I am thinking of purchasing the WiiM Ultra, which can be used as a phono-preamp, but also give me multiple connectivity options. Before buying it I would like to have your consultation on the following topic:
I will connect the Turntable directly to the Line-in of the "WiiM Ultra" and from there I would like to stream sound to the active speaker via Bluetooth. Would that be possible? Do you see any issues (except the expected quality loss) with the above described co-installation?


Thanks a lot in advance for your help and your feedback.

Best,
Andreas

Agreed on the omissions that can occasionally appear within certain specification datasets, but in regards to Bluetooth devices the supported codecs are always very clear, as a matter of fact the bulk of an advertisement regarding a Bluetooth device -is- the codec support, there really isn't much else to advertise besides codec and Bluetooth version when one is advertising Bluetooth devices. That being said the lack of information regarding codec support on a Bluetooth transmitter is something I have never seen before my experience with this WiiM product.

I generally agree, but it may have something to do with the fact that the WiiM product is a network streamer and not primarily a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver. (I am not saying that not listing the codec is a good thing.)

In fact, I have seen codecs omitted from Bluetooth headphone catalogs on several occasions. (But I think it's sterile to continue this discussion...)

The bottom line is that the Ultra spec sheet does not describe the features you need, and you purchased the Ultra without researching or inquiring about them...
