A WiiM hub for streaming, television, vinyl and headphones
WiiM Ultra expands the streamer concept with a 3.5" touchscreen, HDMI ARC, phono input and dedicated subwoofer output.
The single WiiM Ultra can become the control centre of a stereo system combining network music, a TV and analogue sources. Its ESS ES9038Q2M DAC feeds Line Out, while optical, coaxial, USB and headphone outputs give it a substantially broader role than Pro or Pro Plus.

Far more than a Pro Plus with a display
Ultra changes the streamer's job. A turntable connects directly to the phono stage, the television uses HDMI ARC and an active subwoofer gets its own output; the screen also handles playback, inputs and settings from the front panel. Pro Plus is simpler and retains AirPlay 2, which Ultra does not support.
One control point for different sources
Line In accepts analogue equipment, optical handles digital sources and USB can access a local library. A dedicated 3.5 mm headphone output covers personal listening, while the 12 V trigger can coordinate power with compatible electronics.
