Description
Overview
WiiM Ultra is engineered as the most capable and complete wireless audio streaming hub in the WiiM lineup, combining advanced DAC technology, wide connectivity, and a modern touchscreen interface. It’s the ideal centerpiece for listeners who want to unify all their audio sources — turntable, TV, network streaming, USB storage, analogue gear — into one elegant, high-performance component.
At its core of the award winning music streamer from WiiM is the ESS ES9038Q2M DAC, a premium SABRE chipset known for its exceptional dynamic range, low noise, and detailed presentation. Paired with a finely tuned analogue stage, it delivers transparent and engaging sound suitable for both modern and classic hi-fi systems. Whether you’re streaming hi-res content up to 24-bit/192 kHz or playing back digital files via USB storage, the WiiM Ultra ensures your music is handled with accuracy and finesse.
A defining feature of the WiiM Ultra music streamer is its 3.5-inch touchscreen display. This interface brings immediate, hands-on control to your system: browse albums, adjust volume, switch inputs, view artwork, or manage playback without relying on your phone. It makes the Ultra function more like a modern digital preamp rather than a simple streamer, giving your system a tactile, premium feel.
Where the WiiM Ultra streamer & preamp truly stands out is connectivity. With HDMI ARC, you can route TV audio into your hi-fi system with proper sync and clarity — a major convenience for modern living rooms. It includes optical and coaxial digital I/O, line-in, USB audio, and a built-in phono stage, allowing you to connect a turntable directly. Very few streamers in this category offer native phono support, making the Ultra uniquely versatile for vinyl enthusiasts integrating streaming into their setup.
On the output side, the WiiM Ultra audio streamer provides line-out, optical, coaxial, USB audio, subwoofer output, and a dedicated headphone jack. This combination means you can feed external DACs, stereo amplifiers, powered speakers, subwoofers, or personal headphone rigs with equal confidence. It works seamlessly as the digital heart of your system, whether you prefer a full analogue chain or a digital-forward setup.
Streaming support includes Chromecast Built-in, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, DLNA, Alexa Cast, and the Ultra is fully Roon Ready as well. Multi-room playback integrates with Google Home, Alexa, and other WiiM devices, making it easy to sync audio around your home. While the Ultra does not support AirPlay 2 or Siri, it excels in Google and Alexa ecosystems, offering reliable, app-native playback and broad platform compatibility.
The WiiM Home app unlocks advanced features such as EQ, Auto EQ room calibration (with compatible microphones), scheduling, routines, and multi-room management. It’s intuitive and powerful, keeping control simple while offering deeper tools for users who want to fine-tune their setup.
Wireless connectivity is equally strong, with next-generation Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 supported by dual antennas for greater stability and range. The aluminium chassis provides durability, heat management, and a clean aesthetic suitable for both modern minimalism and traditional audio racks.
