A streaming hub from WiiM for an amplifier or powered speakers. It has a 3.5 inch touchscreen, an ESS ES9038Q2M DAC, a phono input, HDMI ARC, a headphone output and digital and analogue outputs, and it comes with a voice remote.
WiiM says the Ultra adds streaming, control, room tuning and connections to a system you already own. It does not have an amplifier for speakers, so it connects to an amplifier, receiver or powered speakers.
Why you will love it
Touchscreen and volume knob
The 3.5 inch touchscreen shows album art and lets you manage playback, switch inputs and outputs and adjust EQ. The volume knob also works as a play and pause button.
WiiM lists touchscreen screens including Now Playing, Sources, Smart Presets, Quick EQ and Clock Face.

DAC and headphone amplifier
WiiM lists an ESS ES9038Q2M DAC and a TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier. Line out is rated at 121 dB signal-to-noise and -116 dB THD+N (0.00015%).
Headphone output is rated at 119 dB SNR with -99 dB THD+N into 300 ohms, and -92 dB THD+N into 32 ohms. The headphone output is a 3.5 mm jack.
Music, TV and vinyl in one box
The Ultra has a phono input for MM and MC cartridges, a line input, an optical input and HDMI ARC. HDMI ARC and optical support stereo PCM and Dolby Digital. DTS is not supported.
Outputs are line out, optical out, coax out, USB out (UAC 2.0), headphone and subwoofer out. A 12V trigger out is also listed.

Streaming and multi-room
WiiM lists Google Cast, Alexa Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, DLNA, Roon Ready, QPlay 2.0 and Squeezelite. AirPlay 2 is not supported. The WiiM Home app adds services such as Spotify, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Qobuz and Deezer.
Network music can join Alexa or Google Cast groups, and you can group WiiM devices. WiiM says to use a group made entirely of WiiM devices to share physical inputs such as phono, line-in, optical, HDMI ARC or Bluetooth.
RoomFit, EQ and bass
RoomFit room correction is in the WiiM Home app, along with 24 preset EQ settings, a 10-band graphic EQ and a 10-band parametric EQ. Per-source EQ lets a turntable, TV and streaming service keep their own tuning.
Connect a powered subwoofer to the sub out and set the crossover and level in the app. WiiM says the Ultra pairs wirelessly with the WiiM Sub Pro.
