WiiM Ultra Music Streamer & Digital Preamp | 3.5" Touchscreen, Compatible with Google Cast & Alexa, Stream Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal & More | HDMI ARC, Phono Input & Headphone Output | Space Gray

As with most other people I cannot praise this Streaming DAC enough. It's super easy to set up by using the WiiM Home App, and offers an amazing feature set and unparalleled connectivity options that you can't buy elsewhere for TWICE THE PRICE (trust me, I looked). The DAC chip (ESS) is excellent providing great sound quality (I was using Q Acoustics M20 Powered Speakers and a B12 Sub) - what's really important with this is the connectivity options... having E-arc AND a sub out (with Bass Management) is a game changer and enable you to blend the music volumes from the main speakers and the bass accordingly meaning you can tweak either depending on the mastering of the music you're listening to. I could go on forever about how good this unit it, AND it's on offer for a few days under Prime Deals, so just grab it. Worth knowing that it's a streamer for most platforms but you can also stick a usb drive into the back of it and play your local files (FLAC ETC) via the Wiim Home App which in itself is VERY user friendly and reliable. Finally, the support from WiiM and Updates team is second to none.

I have owned a number of streamers over the last few years including Bluesound, Raumfeld and Arylic, the most recent being the Arylic S10+ which I used in conjunction with an SMSL SU-1 DAC which sounded good but I found it irritating to use as my streaming service of choice is Amazon Music which it only supports via Airplay which I found to be very inconsistent in operation. The WiiM Ultra was a step up in price so I was expecting better performance and so far it hasn't disappointed. The WiiM Home control app is excellent and very versatile and once downloaded the setup was a breeze although the firmware update took about 15 minutes. I use the analogue output to feed a pair of Q Acoustics M20 powered speakers, I couple the Ultra directly to my router via an ethernet cable, I have my Mac computer connected via optical digital cable and I have external solid state drive connected via USB. The unit itself is very substantial and quite weighty and certainly good for the price, the touch screen has good clarity and clear graphics and it's nice to have album artwork displayed while listening, and it defaults to a clock when there is no music playing. The supplied remote is good quality and works well, only black mark is there were no batteries supplied for it, shame on you WiiM ☹️ It works via bluetooth not IR which means no delays that IR remotes sometimes suffer from. As to the sound quality it is a step up from streamers I've had previously, the previous best I had was the Bluesound Node 2i which was a similar price, the Ultra is more detailed without being clinical and more even in tonal balance, the Node 2i being a little on the rich side of neutral. The Ultra is also a little more dynamic particularly in the bass. Overall I'm delighted with the WiiM Ultra and at it's price point it has to be regarded as a bargain and deserves a 5* rating.

The WiiM Ultra is the bargain of the year. Being an old bloke its taken ages for me to embrace streaming music. I took the plunge and bought the Eversolo DM-A6. Tried to like it but could never get the vinyl like warmth I required. Returned it and got the £865 back. Then I heard about the WiiM Ultra. Got it for £275, and expected much less from it. Set up was easy. Used a digital Coaxial cable to my amp. Downloaded the app but initially used Amazon Music and Spotify via my phone to play music. You can use the WiiM app and the supplied remote if you prefer. I've spent years perfecting my system. Thorens deck/Goldring E3 cartridge. Onkyo integrated amp. Musical Fidelity CD. SkyQ box. LG DVD. LG TV. Huge LA Floorstanding speakers. The WiiM Ultra took its place on my Target rack and all was ready to play. Right from the get go I knew I could live with it. Unlike the Eversolo it was less 'hifi' and more musical. The sound is warmer, perhaps not quite as revealing as the Eversolo, but much more musical. The WiiM just makes you want to play more music! It gets your feet tapping, which is as it should be. It looks fine too. The screen is pretty basic and only 3.5 inches but it shows album covers and track info, which is enough for me. Build quality is fine too. Not as good as the Eversolo but at less than a third of the price that is to be expected. It has lots of options to connect to ancillary equipment. It comes with power lead (figure 8 type) and optical cable. There's even an ethernet cable. I just use WiFi. If you have a decent hifi system, or even active speakers I doubt you'll be disappointed with the WiiM Ultra. It's a great bit of kit. Far outperforming its price point. It's rare that something is much better than expectations. This is! Reduced from £350 to £279 now is a great time to score one, before they sell out! I forgot to mention WiiM do regular updates to the software so the app should get better.

I have researched the streaming equipment market for six months and concluded that this device was optimal for my use case in comparison with other devices available. The sound quality was acknowledged to be first class, the features exceptional for such a device with many connectivity options which I needed. At its normal price, it was great value for money and I was preparing to buy it - then the special Amazon deal day came with a significant reduction and I didn't hesitate!! Having set it up, it fulfils all my expectations completely and I am really delighted with it! Easy to use, small footprint and looks attractive. Lastly, it transcodes my DSD 128 files on the fly so I can play them when I wish, although I have another small system to play them natively at 1 bit (which this can't do).

I purchased the WIIM Ultra in November 2024 for my home setup, paired with my Fosi Mono V3 Class D amps and Paradigm 15B speakers as a desk system, streaming music from my computer and the Tidal music service. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I really needed this device, but after just one week of use, I was completely convinced – the sound quality is phenomenal! Sound Quality & Ease of Use: From the moment I powered it up, the WIIM Ultra delivered crystal-clear, detailed sound that took my listening experience to the next level. It’s incredibly easy to set up and integrates seamlessly into my system. The connectivity options are excellent, offering everything I need for high-quality streaming and more. Whether I’m using Tidal, Spotify Connect, or streaming directly from my computer, it just works—and the sound is well-balanced and dynamic across all platforms. Comparison to Other Integrated Amplifiers: What really impressed me was how the WIIM Ultra stacks up against other integrated amplifiers I’ve used. In my living room, I have a high-quality integrated amplifier setup that’s much more expensive, and I was curious to see how the WIIM Ultra would compare. To my surprise, the performance of the WIIM Ultra is shockingly close to that much pricier amp. The sound quality is just as clear and rich, and the overall performance is nearly identical. For the price, the WIIM Ultra punches well above its weight and offers nearly the same level of clarity and detail as amps that cost thousands of dollars. It’s an incredible value for the money! Customer Support & Value: The customer support has also been fantastic. The team is incredibly prompt, helpful, and customer-focused, making the entire experience even better. It’s reassuring to know that you’re dealing with a company that truly puts the customer first. USB Out Connectivity & Future-Proofing: I particularly love the USB out feature. It gives me the option to use external DACs at higher resolutions if I ever decide to upgrade my system, making the WIIM Ultra a great future-proof investment. Streaming & Firmware Updates: The Tidal and Spotify Connect options make streaming super easy and convenient, while the regular firmware updates with new features and stability improvements show that the product will only get better over time. As someone who values long-term reliability, this is a huge plus. Airplay Connectivity: The only thing to be aware of is the lack of Airplay support for now. For my specific setup at my desk, this isn’t an issue, but I’d love to see it added in future iterations. However, it doesn’t detract from the overall fantastic experience I’ve had with the WIIM Ultra. Final Thoughts: Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the WIIM Ultra. The sound quality, build, connectivity, and customer support are all exceptional. If you’re on the fence about it, I can say with confidence that it compares very favorably to much more expensive integrated amplifiers I have in my living room. If you’ve read the glowing reviews elsewhere, I can confirm that my experience mirrors theirs. This is a top-tier product that provides fantastic performance without breaking the bank. I’m already planning to buy another one for future needs, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality audio experience!

As reviews by many people ….. amazing streaming, high quality preamp and usb output to dragonfly cobalt gives excellent results. Phono stage is also good

Im happy with the streamer and the Wiim app. Wiim ultra sounds very good, but the bass is very deep and powerfull... The price is the readonable in the market. Highly Recommemded!

Een absolute perfecte aanvulling op mijn audioset. Installatie is een fluitje van een cent en de kwaliteit is ontzettend hoog. Ook de bouw van de WiiM Ultra zit goed in elkaar. Ik ben gebruiker van Plex en deze wordt ondersteund door de WiiM Ultra. Maar ook (bijna) alle streamingdiensten zijn toepasbaar. Natuurlijk weer een supersnelle levering dus genieten geblazen. Een absolute aanrader voor een ieder die voor kwaliteit en gemak gaat.

Eccezionale, davvero! Non ero partito per uno streamer, ma avendo avuto problemi con lo stadio phono del mio amplificatore, ho voluto provare questo dispositivo, che davvero ha tutto. Veloce, affidabile, stabile e dalla resa sonora eccezionale (merito anche del mio NAD, ancorché datato). La cosa che più ho apprezzato è stata proprio il poter collegare il giradischi e poterne gestire la resa sonora - già di suo ottima - grazie all'equalizzatore integrato. Ho collegato praticamente tutto, tra cui lo splendido Qobuz per i file Hi-Res e mi riservo di provare anche Amazon Music Unlimited, dato che anche lui è supportato. Unica pecca, non supporta Apple Music, ma non mancano alternative. Un plauso anche alla App e alle personalizzazioni, davvero di livello.
