Review: As good as they said it would be! - I bought this WiiM Ultra Streamer to act as a digital jukebox for my Yamaha rn600a receiver, CD S303 and B&W 606 S3 based system. The presentation of this WiiM streamer is impeccable and it comes with the necessary leads etc. to get going. Because the device is so popular there are so many support forums out there both official and unofficial. The build quality seems excellent with a wide variety of inputs and outputs, I use the optical output. The touchsceen is very good both in terms of clarity and sensitivity, it's so nice to see the album art. I've partnered my WiiiM Ultra with a 512GB Samsung Bar Plus USB stick - I chose this because of it's very low power drain and the fact that it's metal means it dissipates heat -the combination works flawlessly and I've added about 500 Cds so far. The WiiM app gives you plenty of control and is well designed, I like the fact you don't have to log in. Sound output is really authentic and you can opt for flat output or customise the sound via a built EQ - personally, I prefer to shape the sound with my Yamaha amp. Overall, this is a star product which for most users will deliver everything they could want at affordable price, whilst offering good quality sound. The only downside I can think of is the lack of support for Apple Airplay, if you can live without the latter this is a very (very) good buy build quality, usability and output are top notch at the price. Review: Extraordinary Streamer very aggressively priced. - This is our 3rd WiiM device, now joining a Mini and a Pro. The WiiM devices in general box well above their weight, offering a combination of connectivity, audio quality, stability, and functionality which far exceeds anything to be expected from the price point. The Ultra has built upon all that was on offer from the mid-range models and offers an extraordinary range of input and output formats, as well as the ability to stream, in the highest resolutions available from the more sound quality focussed streaming services such as Tidal and Qobuz, amongst many others. Currently, you could almost argue that we're under-utilising it as we've connected it to an external DAC via USB for the highest possible sound quality, but experimenting with the onboard DAC yielded great results which again belie the very low price. From the time of plugging it in, to listening to the streaming services of choice was only a few minutes thanks to the excellent application and intuitive interface. Whether using the app on phone or tablet, or indeed the onboard touchscreen, the unit is extremely responsive and offers nearly immediate action to any input. Personally, I don't use the touchscreen, preferring to operate the unit completely from the app, however the included remote control is quite handy, well lain out, and again, very intuitive to use. The only sidenote worthy of mention is that though the onboard WiFi connectivity is very quick and reliable, for best results at the highest resolutions I do suggest feeding the unit via ethernet for the utmost response and performance. It's very difficult to find fault in the WiiM Ultra at even 2-3X the price and I'd suggest sonically, that it'd be at home in nearly any hifi system. ## Features - Looks Good, Sounds Great: The WiiM Ultra redefines your audio experience with its sleek aluminum design and premium components.

It came very well package with a full set of good quality audio cables. The build quality is very good. Made from aluminium all round except the bottom. The display is nice and clear. The setup process is easy, just connect the WiiM Ultra to power, download the app to your phone or tablet and follow the guide. The WiiM Ultra has a plethora of available streaming services but NOT Apple Music. It also has DNLA capability which worked on my system flawlessly. Sound quality is excellent with a host of EQ options and has built in room correction. These are just some of the features of this product. There are far too many to go into here. WiiM is also actively supporting the WiiM Ultra and releasing new features as well of correcting any bugs that might occur. ## Frequently Bought Together - WiiM Ultra Music Streamer & Digital Preamp | 3.5" Touchscreen, Compatible with Google Cast & Alexa, Stream Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal & More | HDMI ARC, Phono Input & Headphone Output | Silver - SMSL PO100 PRO MQA DDC XMOS XU316 Digital to Analog Audio Converter Type-C USB Input IIS/Optical/Coaxial Output Mini Portable USB Interface for Phone/PS5/Switch/TV - Fosi Audio ZA3 Balanced Stereo Amplifier Home Audio Component Mini 2 Channel Mono Amp TPA3255 for Subwoofer Desktop Home Theater Bookshelf Tower Floorstanding Passive Speakers with 48V Power Supply --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/648779263-wiim-ultra-hi-res-music-streamer-with-touchscreen-and-ess](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/648779263-wiim-ultra-hi-res-music-streamer-with-touchscreen-and-ess) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
