I was searching for a transport, to connect to external DAC (Chord Qutest). I'm using Tidal connect (Samsung), so I assume Wiim Ultra and Wiim Pro Plus are both a good choice😊
Wiim Ultra has few more pros for me: display, USB port and hdmi.
Both have 32 bit rate, but different max digital sample audio rate 768 Khz (Wiim Pro Plus) and (384 Khz Wiim Ultra). I am not an expert but
high resolution on Tidal in most cases is 24 bit/48-192 Khz, so both should handle it (reserve up to 32 bit/up to 300 Khz), correct? Thanks✌️

Can the wiim amp receive analog input and send it over wifi to a wifi speakers? if yes, what specification should the speakers need? I would like to connect 2 passive speakers to the wiim amp and send the analog input both to the passive speakers and to another wifi speakers at the same time, would it be possible?

I guess I should have waited and not added the Ultra to my other WiiM Pro and Pro Plus since it was not clear when preorders were announced it couldn’t support Apple Airplay. I just got it at the end of last week and only learned this yesterday. Is there such a thing as an Airplay receiver that could be connected like an Apple TV to the HDMI? Your video is an excellent overview. I guess you can some how link a Pro or Pro Plus to it and still connect it in that way. Also glad that Roon is now certified and available. Thank you and take care.

Pro plus seems to be the sweet spot. Saying that i have the pro and have no desire to replace it.

FYI it's not a 4 band parametric eq. They updated it. I have 10 on my pro

No Airplay on the Amp Pro either. Looks like things went sour with Apple.

Great overview, thanks!
Would love to know the latency on the Pro/Plus optical (in-out) passthrough. I’d love to put this between my gaming pc and my speakers, so I could use them for streaming AND games.

Is Roon confirmed to be natively integrated with the Wiim Ultra?

Hello. What is that model Turntable you use in your setup? It looks nice

[johntilsley]

Is this likely to go the way of sonos where a major update ruins the playability and looses half of the functions previously available?

AirPlay 2 is lower quality than AirPlay 1. I hope WiiM adds AirPlay 1 to the ultra. AirPlay 2 is more about multidevice connection and power savings. It streams in short bursts and degrades the audio signal. Most people are not aware of this. Bluetooth is actually better than AirPlay 2 for sound qualityF but AirPlay 1 is better yet.

@smarthomesounds. Where did you get that record cabinet with the drawers, it looks really smart.

Did anybody tried USB digital out from Wima Ultra and compared with coaxial digital out? I have upgraded Wiim pro that sounds as good as Eversolo A6 already, and I need to know switching to Wiim Ultra is good idea.
