Our take on the WiiM Ultra Plug-and-Play Streaming Pre-Amplifier

The WiiM Ultra is a plug-and-play streaming pre-amplifier that pulls together a turntable, TV, USB drive and Bluetooth sources into one system. It runs a 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and has a 3.5-inch touchscreen for album art and playback. It suits listeners building a compact streaming hub around powered speakers or a power amp. Against rivals like the Bluesound Node and Eversolo streamers, it packs a phono stage, HDMI ARC and a screen into one box, and owners rate its app and sound highly for the outlay.
