No worries. Actually, I just was trying to warn others, originally, to use the Wiim Ultra's RC with caution. But I'm happy that I explored this topic as I've learned so much.

Yes, here’s the link: https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/dirac-live-on-ultra-and-pro.5218/page-3#posts

I need to retract my criticism of the WiiM Ultra room correction software. Much to my surprise, the RC on the WiiM is configurable! I discovered this with the great help from members of the WiiM forum, and it’s a total game changer. I had missed seeing the cog on the top right of the RC screen...

Just to be clear: The Wiim Ultra does not have DIRAC room correction, but its own room correction software built in. That's why it fails so completely.

Actually, as is said on their website, you can plug a USB hub into the USP port and have the WiiM ultra both read a flash drive and send the signal to a DAC or integrated amplifier

RJW232: Wow! I really appreciate your message as it makes perfect sense and clarifies the issues at hand. Thank you very much.

Thank you all for your responses. I love this forum and appreciate all of you very much.

i've seen another discussion on this forum about this issue but would love feedback that is authoritative on it: If I bypass the DAC in my streamer, is there any real difference between a $400 streamer and a much more expensive one in music quality? Thanks!

Since it’s been three months since my last entry, I decided to post again. I’m happy to say that I still think my system is perfect and needs no upgrading of any kind. My hi-fi madness is over.

I love my stereo system, which includes a Cambridge audio edge A amplifier, a WiiM ultra streamer, a Qutest DAC, a REL Classic 98 sub, two Revel M126Be speakers, and very good cables, but was noticing that the sound stage wasn’t what I thought it should be. After reading the Wiim manual, which...

By the way, switching the Qutest from one volt to 2 Volt output on another day also made a giant difference.

I just installed the MCRU power supply on my system for the Qutest DAC. I had read a lot of different opinions about whether it made much difference or not. I’m sure it’s partially system specific. But on my system: Cambridge Audio Edge A amp, WiiM Ultra streamer, Rel sub, and Revel M126Be...

Thank you both for speaking up for me. Very much.

I’ve been really enjoying my system, which includes a WiiM Ultra streamer, Revel M126Be speakers, and the Cambridge Audio Edge A amplifier, but I could tell that something was not quite perfect. I realized that the DAC in the Edge A wasn’t separating the instruments and voices enough and the...

I followed the advice using a needle nose pliers and got it to work
