WiiM takes the popular form factor of its Ultra streamer and adds a 100 watt per channel power amp. Just add speakers.
Just as the music streamer market began expanding beyond the realm of esoteric high-end components, WiiM burst on the scene and disrupted everything. With basic music streamers starting under $100, the company has shown that high quality digital music streaming doesn’t require a massive investment. Over time, the company has evolved into producing higher-performance streaming devices with greater capabilities and more advanced features.
Until now, WiiM’s “pièce de résistance” was the WiiM Ultra, a solidly built budget streamer with a high quality color touch screen to allow user interaction and display of album artwork and other meta data from your favorite songs and podcasts. This year, WiiM took the “Ultra” concept a step further by adding a 100 WPC Class D amplifier to the WiiM Ultra, resulting in the new WiiM Amp Ultra ($529).
