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.

I had the Ultra. Its preamp / DAC is good but nothing to write home about.  Currently, I use it as a dsp to do RC/PEQ for my CD rig in the 2nd system:

Mxn10 (coaxial; Belden 2964 75 ohm) --------------

CD player (toslink) -> Ultra (usb) -> DDC (I2s) -> Topping D90 iii Discrete (xlr 5V) -> Cambridge Azur 851a -> Burchardt S400 II

A DDC is inserted after the Ultra to enhance the transport's sonic quality, making it comparable to the MXN10.
