5.0 out of 5 stars Solid streamer and pre-amp with a great DAC, especially for the $$
Plugged it in, connected eARC cable and it worked right out of the box without needing to set up anything. It auto switches to/from eARC so using with a modern TV is a breeze. It sounds great. Installing the app (android/apple) allows for all sorts of settings and direct streaming sources. Very easy to use. Hands-down the best value in audio gear. Punches much higher than it's weight class.Samsung 65" "the frame" tvWiiM ultra (eARC and Spotify Connect)Crown XLS1502 ampKef LS50 MetaKef 10" sub.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Swiss army knife of DACs
This is an incredibly full featured streaming DAC for the money! Add an amplifier and speakers and you have got yourself some really good sound for not much money. Look at YouTube for all of the video reviews. Works flawlessly with Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and many other streaming services.Has a great app, a graphic EQ, parametic EQ, bass management and room correction for your room's particular acoustic properties. It even has a subwoofer out RCA port. I am running my WiiM Ultra on a little bedroom system consisting of two Fosi Za3 amps, one for each channel in mono mode and connected to a Samsung TV with HDMI ARC.I left out that it has a remote control! I do not know how they are selling this so cheap, but they are so there's that!
5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Value
Everything I had hoped it would be and more! As you can see from my pic, my entire system consists of nothing more than this unit and a power amp and the sound is incredible.Hooking it up is dead simple and it can be connected to pretty much whatever you have (phono, HDMI-in, sub, etc).The device looks impressive and is just the right size - made of high quality materials and built well.But at the end of the day I think you buy this unit because you want it to sound good - and it does! SO many people are going to be replacing their DAC, Preamp and Streamer with the single unit and I honestly can’t imagine them missing ANY of them. This thing is truly remarkable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Punches above it's weight class
Another winner from WIIM. There was a lot of Hub Bub about this Pre-Amp Streamer when it was announced. I previously purchased and used the WIIM MINI puck streamer and enjoyed that one. So decided to get one of these for my office setup which includes a Yamaha R-S202 Amp, and Polk Monitor XT speakers.Setup was straight forward and easy, after connecting to my WiFi it automatically updated and was ready to go. I selected something from my phone as a test stream (Steely Dan Asia album) first impression was wow...really?...ok...then (Dire Straights Brothers in Arms)...neat-O....I have listened to my friend's streamers that cost 5 times more, this is on par with them easily..... Next fed it a stream from Bolo music (Mellow 80's Gold Bruce Springsteen I'm on Fire) so it wasn't a fluke...it really sounds that good.I haven't dug into the tech specs (sorry) I was using my ears to review. But they must have either changed the DAC, an OpAmp, board design or something but it sounds better than their other streamers they have offered before. To my ears more detailed, richer, deeper in tonal quality. Nothing to hate on here.The offered display screen to me is a big bonus plus as well. Yes I can look at my phone to see the cover art, but that would take me from the experience at hand. Speaking of the display it is crisp, color rich, and menu for options is logical. The only thing I would suggest for a change is to update so that when not listening is to have a mono black/white time date screen and not just an art work screen saver. Keep that layout as an option, but add another option.WIIM includes every cable you could possibly need to get this up and running. Connectors, optical, power cable of course. Saving you time and hassle of buying them separately just to get up and running.WIIM has a habit of updating it's app and firmware frequently. Is that a bad sign? no. It means they listen to their owners and adjust things when a suggestion or issue pops up. Great idea!If you are on the fence about trying this out, don't be you will spend hours in your listening space smiling.Bottom line. This WIIM product punches above it's weight class, to use a boxers parlance. Well built, error free operation, fantastic sound.WIIM send me products to review! I'm a lifetime convert and fanboy!!
4.0 out of 5 stars Know what this is and is not.
I bought this piece, reviewed it on my website and YT. I raved about it for a few reasons.1. Its price is very good for what it offers. Most all in ones within the audio world are priced into the thousands, with some in the 20k+ range. Things that do the same thing (though much better build and refinement and sound) as the Ultra. At $300 it's a steal for those who do not want to spend thousands. For those who are not ultra picky audiophiles.2. It's cheap in build. My COAX jack pushed in after changing cables three times. This is not some tank like build of the big brands, and feels hollow. Even so, when set up correctly it sounds 80% as good as those big mega brands in what it does (stream/DAC).3. The streamer here is great and handles all formats easily. The screen is icing on the cake at this price level.4. As a preamp it is good but nothing close to dedicated audio preamps that sell for thousands.5. As a DAC it competes with $300 DAC's easily. It's a bit warm,. full, and with gentle details vs analytical details.6. Easy set up. Turn it on, hook to ethernet or wifi, follow instructions and away you go. If you want to use an amp with it, it will work with ANY amp that has RCA inputs. Tale the pre out into the amp and you are all set.This is a piece meant to be added to an integrated amp or power amp. It's not meant to work with the Wii amp as that would be doubling up on everything. I tested it with lower cost amps and audiophile amps up top $11k.Worked fantastic, sounded good and looks great. I had no bugs in operation. Is it as good as my $5200 streamer and $5k DAC? No way! But in al honesty, in regards to sound, it's 80% there.Diminishing Returns is a thing in audio. As we spend more we gain small improvements or changes, and then are all just changes. This Ultra is PERFECT for someone starting to get into streaming with a modest low to mid fi system. I know of nothing better.
Un pre sobresaliente
este es un pre sobresaliente que ofrece con una calidad superior al promedio un nivel de opciones enorme se puede conectar un equipo analogico cd casset sintonizador fm etc, una entrada digital desde un dvd o blu ray o desde una tv, una entrada de tornamesa magneto movil, una señal bluetooth, una señal hdmi del televisor, una salida para el amplificador de potencia, uns salida para el subwoofer, un control remoto que en vez de infrarojo usa bluetooth!! funciona desde cualquier parte es increible una Aplicacion para mi iphone que permite controlar todo y ademas puede ajustar automáticamente un ecualizador que tiene este pre y un control. para el subwoofer que permite ajustar la senñal al subwoofer y la señal al amplificador totalmente separadas lo que implica una mejora sustancial del sonido y todo por un precio similar al de un par de audifonos? es increible li he comparado con otros pres realmente muy buenos y no esta nada lejos de ellos y a este precio es ridiculo vale muchísimo la pena probarlo y probar todas sus funciones para valorarlo en la justa medida
Pretty Awesome!
I have this as a desk set-up paired with Kanto Tuk powered speakers. No issues with Spotify or Tidal. Frequent software and firmware updates so it's well supported. Love the album art and the preset EQ settings. (Rock, Pop, Jazz, etc)Great value for the money and glad I made the purchase! I highly recommend!
