Wiim Ultra with external DAC: what output?

[Mr Ee]

Thank you! Currently my Ultra acts also as Subwoofer mgmt and Pre-AMp. When I use ULTRA volume control, both volume of main speakers and subwoofer change. But If I buy a better DAC and connect it to ULTRA and then DAC to AMP, I guess the volume control may be done by DAC, and volume for SUb will have to be done separately (as it is connected to ULtra).

You can still use the ultra for volume with the new dac just set to full volume.

Not many DACs measure significantly better than the Ultra.

This might very well be true. But a DAC that sounds pleasing to me is more important than how it measures. Not saying measurements are not important. But how a DAC or any component sounds is just as important IMO.

I just use EQ and DAC roll-off filters
