I am using the WIim Pro as a digital streamer only, I am using EQ sometimes, which also works on the digital outputs. Hopefully with the Ultra the EQ will also work on the USB output. USB output sometimes gives a better sound quality than SPDIF or AES/EBU, because the clock is controlled by...

So much looking forward to the new Ultra, it has almost everything I want (need), optical- and HDMI input, USB- and optical output. A second HDMI and/or optical input would have been welcome in my case, but is no dealbreaker to me. Together with the very useful app, including EQ and PEQ makes...

Why do you want that discussion here over and over again?

And do you have it already in use, if so, what is your impression? Another very good power supply for the WIim Pro, not mentioned yet afak, is the USB power output of the Audioquest Powerblock Powerquest 2 or 3, I have the 3, and in my situation and to my ears it is comparable to the...

That also depends on the resolution of your system and your taste. With my modest DAC / Headphone Amp driving my headphones I found the WIim Pro powered by a linear power supply from Audiophonics gave a more pleasant and more natural sound. I did not have the possibility to listen first before...

I have tried that Supra cable on my DAC / Headphone amp, it gave a darker sound with less details, therefore I am not a fan of this cable. If you like I can sent you 1 m. without plugs.

Nice, I have the same LPSU but using the digital out of the Wiim Pro. Even in this set-up it does improve the sound quality. I have also experimented with different power cables feeding the LPSU, but if there are differences I can't really hear them. As always YMMV.

Exciting , I have also pulled the plug / pressed the 'buy' button. Hearing how much the Wiim Pro is sensitive to different power supllies, I have bought a nice power cable for the LPS. Hopefully it will be an upgrade. I have to be patient, it still needs to be delivered and then burn in etc. To...

Then you should be fine if you are using a Power X. Because IFI is from the UK, we can assume that they have considered the correct polarity.

Sorry for my lousy English. From the mains one pole is neutral (0 V), the other pole of a power socket has the mains voltage (230 V), at least in this country. Below are two images, not of my actual power block, but to show what I meant by turning 180⁰. Does this clarify it?

Thank you and yes, going to concerts a lot with unamplified music does help. Although it is not always a blessing. Sometimes musicians might be playing very well, but if, to my ears, the instruments don't match optimal soundwise, then it can be difficult for me to enjoy the music. Next chapter...

🤔 Maybe we should try to plug it all into one socket of a power block.... 😇

I have finally listened with Wiim Pro powered by the IFI Power X and comparing the IFI to the LPS (Linear Power Supply) as tested earlier in this post this post , using my playlist on Qobuz: Wiim Pro PSUs test . The description of the DAC/Amp and headphones etc. is in my profile. First I...

That is a pity, it was such a nice idea. Do you have a plan b? The Ifi PowerX has arrived, have it connected but no time to listen now, in a few days hopefully.

I have pulled the plug 😉 and ordered a Ifi iPowerX 5V to compare it with the LPS, who knows what it will bring? Price is approx. +25% of what I paid for the LPS. Hopefully by the end of this week I can report.
