WiiM Ultra as Preamp


WiiM Ultra arriving today. Wondering how others have felt about it's sonics as a preamp. I will, of course, be testing it but curious about others experiences. Using Fosi V3 mono blocks, Schiit Saga 2 preamp, Dynaudio Focus 220mkll speakers. Thanks.

Thanks . It’s arrived and sounding great as a streamer. I’ll probably try it’s preamp tomorrow. 

Initial response to Ultra as preamp is very positive, certainly no issues with volume. Will let it play a few hours before real comparisons. But since this is a non critical set up, it will probably be all I need, and move the excellent Saga 2 to home office...

To be clear, I'm using the Ultra directly into the amps, and only using to stream Tidal. So far it's sounding very good, but I'm too lazy today to do direct comparisons. So far it's looking like I will use the Ultra as preamp for volume control only, as I do not anticipate other sources in this system. The Saga 2, which I like very much, would then move to home office.  Thanks for the responses.
