All-encompassing Streaming Amplifier, WiiM Amp Ultra, Now Available for Delivery
The WiiM Amp Ultra is a new all-in-one streaming amplifier from WiiM, designed for both audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts. This high-performance device delivers an impressive 100W per channel at 8Ω, or 200W per channel at 4Ω, making it suitable for driving up to four passive speakers with clarity and dynamics[1][2][3].
At its heart, the WiiM Amp Ultra features premium audiophile-grade components. The DAC is an ESS 9039Q2M, capable of decoding high-resolution audio at up to 32-bit/384kHz[1]. It uses dual TI TPA3255 Class-D amplifier chips and six TI OPA1612 op-amps for ultra-low distortion and detailed sound reproduction[1][2][3].
The WiiM Amp Ultra offers a range of connectivity options. It supports Wi-Fi 6E (tri-band Wi-Fi 6 with extended 6GHz spectrum), Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio and support for SBC, AAC, LDAC codecs. It also has an HDMI ARC port for seamless connection to TVs for home theater integration[1][2][4]. Wired options include digital optical, coaxial, and analog RCA inputs, providing flexibility for compatibility with turntables, CD players, or other analog sources[1][2][4].
The user interface is intuitive, thanks to a vibrant 3.5” glass color touchscreen. This display shows album art, VU meters, playback status, and settings, delivering an intuitive user experience[1][2]. The device is also compatible with the WiiM Home App, enabling remote control, multi-room audio synchronization, and smart home voice control through Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri integration[1][2][4].
For thermal management, the WiiM Amp Ultra uses an advanced cooling system incorporating copper heat pipes, a large aluminum heatsink, and precision PID temperature control to maintain stable performance even at high volumes[2].
Additional features include Post-Filter Feedback (PFFB) technology, which ensures stable, load-independent amplifier performance for bookshelf, floor-standing, or in-wall speakers. This results in a cleaner sound and better amplifier control[1][2][4]. The device also supports multi-room audio and third-party smart speaker integration for whole-home synchronized playback[1][2][4].
The WiiM Amp Ultra can connect to a TV using the HDMI ARC port to produce a 2.1 home theater system. The screen displays playback controls, input sources, EQ settings, music queue view, custom wallpapers, VU meters, Smart Presets, recently played tracks, Internet radio stations, and more[1][2].
Priced at $529, the WiiM Amp Ultra is available from Amazon. With its powerful amplification, state-of-the-art streaming and connectivity, user-friendly touchscreen controls, and sleek modern design, it offers an elegant all-in-one streaming amplifier solution for both audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts[1][2][3].
