Our take on the Wiim Ultra Streaming / Pre Amplifier

The WiiM Ultra is a network streamer and preamplifier built around an ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC, with a 3.5-inch color touchscreen, a physical volume knob and an aluminum chassis. It handles Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, works as a Roon Ready endpoint once that update lands, and supports multi-room playback through the WiiM Home app. Fixed and variable outputs plus digital outs let it feed powered speakers, a power amp or an external DAC. Against budget streamers like the WiiM Pro Plus it adds a screen, a knob and a fuller input and output set; reviewers treat it as a hub for a whole system rather than a bare streamer.

About the Wiim Ultra Streaming / Pre Amplifier

The WiiM Ultra is a network audio streamer and preamplifier. It uses an ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC chip to convert digital audio and is Hi-Res Audio certified. Wireless connections are Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 through two antennae.

It has an aluminium chassis, a 3.5" full-color touchscreen and a physical volume knob. A remote control is supplied. It connects to the analogue inputs of an amplifier or active speaker, and optical and coaxial digital outputs are available for other setups.

The WiiM Home app guides setup, and the Ultra appears in the app automatically. It supports Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Chromecast Audio, DLNA and Alexa. It can be grouped with Alexa-enabled devices, Google Home devices or other WiiM streamers for synchronized multi-room playback. Roon Ready support is planned for a future update.

Questions and answers

Does the WiiM Ultra work as a preamp with powered speakers?
Yes. It has variable output, so the volume knob and touchscreen control the level going to powered speakers or a power amp. Fixed output is there for setups where another component handles volume.
Can I connect an external DAC to the WiiM Ultra?
Yes. It has digital outputs, so you can bypass the built-in ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC and send the signal to an external DAC. That makes it useful as a transport in a higher-end chain.
Is Roon Ready available now?
Roon Ready support is planned through a future firmware update, not out of the box at launch. Check the current firmware status before buying if Roon is central to your setup.
Does it support Spotify and Tidal directly?
It works as a Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect device, so you play from those apps and the streamer handles playback. The WiiM Home app covers setup and multi-room control.
How is it different from the WiiM Pro Plus?
The Ultra adds a 3.5-inch touchscreen, a physical volume knob, an aluminum chassis and a fuller input and output set. The Pro Plus is a smaller, screenless streamer for simpler systems.
Can I use several WiiM Ultra units for multi-room audio?
Yes. It supports multi-room playback through the WiiM Home app, so you can group it with other compatible WiiM devices. Each zone needs its own unit.
