Know before you buy
The WiiM Ultra acts as a central digital music hub, allowing you to stream high-resolution audio to your existing speakers or amplifier while providing a physical interface for control and playback.
Using your iPhone's microphone, the WiiM Home app measures your room's unique acoustics and the response of your speakers. It then applies digital processing to optimize the sound output, helping to mitigate issues like boomy bass or uneven frequency response.
Yes, the 3.5-inch touchscreen allows you to navigate your music library, view album art, and manage playback directly from the device, providing a tactile alternative to using your smartphone.
The ESS Sabre 9038Q2M DAC supports high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz. This ensures that digital files are converted to analog signals with high precision, resulting in a detailed, clear, and realistic sound profile.
While the WiiM Home app is available for both platforms, the specific room correction feature requires an iPhone to perform the acoustic measurements.
