Do you think the Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC in the Wiim Ultra is a real improvement over the AKM 4493SEQ DAC present in the Wiim Pro Plus (SINAD -114 db in the Audio Science Review measurements)?

I agree, but here the screen is so small! Unless you use it as an audio device on the desktop of your home office, I guess it will be almost useless in a more conventional HiFi setting.

Yes, it's a pity there is no coax input!

I also really hope they will release soon the LFE sub output option on the Wiim Pro and Pro Plus

What do you mean? That there will likely the possibility to use the current version of the Wiim Amp as a preamplifier/streamer using the existing RCA connectors as output instead as input?

So the Wiim Amp case is made on metal, non plastic? I've read conflicting information about it after the Wiim Amp was announced, someone was also saying that they cannot use metal for the case unless they add external antennas for WiFi and Bluetooth (which are absent in the final version of this...

I completely agree with you.

It will have some settings (hopefully variable) anyway, I'm just curious to see what they are.

It is known if the sub out settings include variable low pass and high pass filters?

I completely agree about the case: plastic is insulating, while metal disperses heat much better. Harman Kardon Citation Amp is an example of a compact and powerful Class D amplifier with a plastic case and overheating problems.

Maybe I missed the specific post: it is known which is the type of DAC that will be present in the Wiim Amp? The TI PCM5121 we find in the Mini/Pro or the AKM 4493SEQ now in the Pro Plus?

Either black or very dark gray
