If you stream your music and want better audio than a Bluetooth speaker can offer, WiiM has what you need.
WiiM Ultra music streamer
The WiiM Amp Ultra is available on Amazon for $329.
If your preferred method of listening to music is via streaming services, this is a great amp to own.
To use a turntable, you’ll need a preamp.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m a music snob. Both in terms of the music I listen to and the devices I choose as a delivery system. I’ve spent more money than I care to admit on audio equipment, all in the name of chasing that auditory high.
When I receive audio equipment to review (especially amps), I have to tone down my expectations. This is especially so when an amp is primarily meant for streaming. My preferred music delivery is handled via vinyl, but that doesn’t mean I’m against streaming. I actually stream quite a bit as well because it helps me find new music.
For most, streaming is limited to either their computers or phones, but what if I told you there was an amp that is geared specifically for streaming? Well, there is, and it’s quite nice.
The amp in question is the WiiM Amp Ultra. It’s sleek, easy to use, and delivers outstanding sound, even from streaming services. And if you opt to go with a service that offers high resolution streaming, it’s even better.WiiM Amp Ultra music streamer

Upon unboxing the Amp Ultra, I’m not gonna lie — I was disappointed to find that it didn’t include a preamp, which meant I wasn’t going to be connecting my turntable to it. Ultimately, this is fine because vinyl enthusiasts aren’t the target market for this device. If your turntable includes a preamp, you can connect it directly to the Amp Ultra, however. I have a pair of preamps but they were lost in the shuffle of a move, so I’ll have to test this baby without my beloved Rega P8.
