- These are my final thoughts of the Wiim Ultra Music Streamer.
An excellent audiophile quality streamer/dac at a very affordable price.
Buy WiiM Ultra from Amazon (affiliate link):

Thanks for the video. I just bought my wiim ultra yesterday. Looking forward to seeing what it can do😊
I've owned the wiim ultra and its internal DAC for about a week now, and it's shockingly good given its price as a digital preamp-DAC combo. I don't mean the wiim sounds good for the money. I mean it sounds like a true, audiophile grade component. Can you purchase a better sounding preamp-DAC combo? Of course, but the law of diminishing returns starts with the wiim ultra. I didn't even mention the ultra's excellent streaming, bass mgmt, or room correction features. Simply put, amazing value for the money.
Just got mine, very impressed with it, this will replace my bluesound Node 2I, the WIIM Ultra app is just better, doesn't lock up like my Node 2I, I also had issue with my external usb hard drive adding favorites, no problem with the Ultra. On my Samsung phone, Node 2i would not allow me to adjust volume to another app, i would have to close the Node 2I app to adjust example to the UA-cam app. WIIM did not have this issue. Then you add in parametric EQ and room correction. Plus, it was almost 1/2 the price, NO brainer
Thanks for sharing, this ultra sounds like a hell of a deal. I believe you were thinking of the Shiit Freya + preamp. Good preamp from what I hear.
Loving my WiiM Ultra. Wish it had a nicer volume control knob, I like using my A70 HP amp for volume and balanced out, but don't really need, I just like it.
I own the Ultra. Love it. Works perfectly in my system. Would highly recommend .. My Best…..Dan
Good evening ☕️
It’s hard to capture in essence a digital preamplifier with a DAC and streamer …
I’m still flipping a coin 🪙 on the Ultra.
Have a great evening.
Ones connected to my tv via hdmi wich amp and speaker plus sub do you recommend? Im new and would like to build it from scratch. Thanks!
I’ve got one now. It replaces a node2i + rme adi.
Was hoping for it to be a close call but it’s not. Room correction helps but it’s a massive downgrade otherwise.
I’m going to give it to my son
3:23 I’m good with my external DAC …
Denafrips Ares 12-1🙂
You already have an audiophile DAC. If you have the pro or pro plus I wouldn't upgrade unless you need the pretty screen showing the album art or the HDMI input is important. It sounds slightly better than the optical. Unless you're using the Ultra as a preamplifier I wouldn't worry about it.
@@thepracticalaudiophile Thanks ,I think you helped make my decision NOT to buy …
I have a denafrips too and i used a wiim pro as a streamer. I will say that when i got the ultra and used the usb connection to go to the denafrips it sounded noticeably better. Using the usb connection you use the clock on the denafrips. Using spidf (coax or optical) to the denfrips youre using the timing clock on the wiim pro. Sounded much better to me. Id recommend.
@@user-ps6kt7eh2m Interesting 🤔
I don't understand the hype, even my smart TV has a better DAC. The sound through the Ultra is only mediocre, nothing exciting
