    WiiM Ultra launch price

    Good day people! In response to Beresniak, yes I would like to have a good quality room correction and I understand that this increases the cost, but I insist that if this leads to the product increasing to USD 700, it misses the point, since on the other side of the In the ring there are...

    WiiM Ultra launch price

    Good afternoon sirs. As I already expressed in other threads, I think that the price of the Ultra should not differ much from the Amp. Simply because a cabinet and a phono stage were added (which I wouldn't actually use) but the power stage was removed. If the DAC improves noticeably compared to...

    WiiM Ultra

    Good morning, gentlemen. Let's agree that designing and manufacturing a Swiss army knife that adapts to each of the needs of each user is impossible (Mr. EE, I completely agree). Personally, I believe that the particularities should be put aside and the general characteristics and comprehensive...

    WiiM Ultra

    Good afternoon. Correct, the Pro Plus definitely does not complement the preamplification function that the Ultra does have. Not to mention bass management, a very very important feature.

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    Everything is very quiet here. I'm waiting for the LinkPlay team to contact me to send me a test unit of the Ultra (cuac! 🦆)

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    Guys, please let's not cross the line of respect. The idea of this thread is to continue giving our opinions based on our needs and preferences, which by definition, are very personal. In my particular case, I still very much agree with Steve Woodhouse. Obviously we have common purposes...

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    I agree with you, that if a device is well built it can last decades. But we must not forget that these streamers are also made up of processors, memories, etc. in addition to the power stage. The latter is imperishable, but a microprocessor or a DAC chip can be seriously affected by the passage...

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    As they say in Argentina: "Vamoooooo!!" I am also waiting for something with these characteristics to try it with different power amps. We have to lower the hype but it is complicated.

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    That's also true, and a good way to look at it. I believe that these debates, if they follow the line of respect, can be very interesting and beneficial, and bring many benefits to us as users and to companies to develop products better focused on the preferences of their customers.

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    Good morning, guys. Correct, I agree that at $700, it would be a more difficult product to access. Even more so if we add the price of good speakers. Personally, I would prefer, as I said before, a preamplifier/streamer with bass management. A couple of cheap monoblocks (or if the budget allows...

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    It is something completely logical. Nowadays many people do not have the time necessary to enjoy their hobbies and have to combine work with pleasure. In my case, if it weren't for this type of setup, I wouldn't even have time to listen to music all day. Or at least listen to it in decent quality.

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    You read my mind! I was about to write about the function of the attenuator. A streamer with the ability to modify the volume is not the same as a preamplifier with an attenuator completely dedicated to this task.

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    That's correct, but none of the previous streamers had the bass management capabilities that the Amp does offer. Keeping this in mind is very important. There are many people, as is my case, who, for aesthetic or space reasons, prefer to have a system made up of two small bookshelfs and a...

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    Jajaja!! correct! I don't think this is the case. Linkplay products so far have never disappointed (at least in my case). But we will have to wait and lower the hype until it is formally announced. For my part, I propose myself again as a beta tester. If I'm right and the Wiim Ultra is a...

    The "PERFECT WiiM Product"

    Without a doubt! completely agree. But if there are no possibilities, a preamplifier would be very welcome, and we as consumers would make the choice of the power stage. Obviously it would no longer be the all-in-one that it is today, but it would be a more versatile, flexible product and would...
