Description
WiiM Amp Ultra
The WiiM Amp Ultra is built around an ESS ES9039Q2M SABRE DAC, dual TI TPA3255 amplifier chips, and Post-Filter Feedback technology, the Amp Ultra is designed to provide clean, stable, high-resolution sound in a simple all-in-one format.
It is one of the most compelling modern streaming amplifier solutions for customers who want proper hi-fi performance without the complexity of separate boxes.
What makes it so useful is the combination of power, streaming, and TV integration. Many compact streaming amps are convenient but limited in drive. The Amp Ultra is different, with enough output to confidently run a wide range of passive speakers while still keeping the system small, tidy, and easy to use.
We particularly like it for living rooms, apartments, bedrooms, and secondary listening zones where customers want one box to handle music and TV. HDMI ARC means it can dramatically improve TV sound without needing a soundbar (but you will need speakers) , while the subwoofer output and bass management make it easy to build a strong 2.1 system.
The 3.5-inch touchscreen also gives it a much more premium feel than the earlier WiiM amps. You can see album artwork, change inputs, access presets, view VU meters, and control playback without always reaching for your phone. For everyday use, that matters.
For customers wanting a simple, smart, powerful amplifier that works equally well for Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, internet radio, HDMI TV audio, and local music playback, the WiiM Amp Ultra is an excellent all-in-one choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the WiiM Amp Ultra and what does it replace in a hi-fi system?
The WiiM Amp Ultra is an all-in-one streaming amplifier. It combines a music streamer, DAC, amplifier, HDMI ARC TV input, room correction, EQ, and subwoofer control in one compact unit. For many systems, it can replace a separate streamer, DAC, integrated amplifier, and basic TV audio solution. - How powerful is the WiiM Amp Ultra?
The WiiM Amp Ultra is rated at 100W per channel into 8Ω and 200W per channel into 4Ω. That makes it powerful enough for many bookshelf speakers, wall-mounted speakers, and compact floorstanding speakers in small to medium rooms. - Can I connect the WiiM Amp Ultra to my TV?
Yes, the Amp Ultra includes HDMI ARC, so it can receive sound from a compatible TV. This makes it a strong alternative to a soundbar when paired with good passive speakers, especially for customers who want better stereo imaging and fuller sound. - Does the WiiM Amp Ultra support a subwoofer?
Yes, it includes a dedicated RCA mono subwoofer output with app-based bass management. This makes it easy to build a 2.1 system for deeper bass in music, movies, and TV. - Does the WiiM Amp Ultra have room correction?
Yes, it includes built-in room correction and advanced EQ tools through the WiiM app. This helps tune the sound to your room and speakers, improving bass balance, clarity, and overall system performance. - Which streaming services and platforms does the WiiM Amp Ultra support?
The Amp Ultra supports a wide range of streaming options including Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Chromecast Audio, DLNA, LMS, Alexa multi-room, Google Home multi-room, internet radio, and local network playback. It is designed to work as a flexible hub for modern streaming systems. - Is the WiiM Amp Ultra better than a soundbar?
For many customers, yes. A soundbar is convenient, but the Amp Ultra lets you use proper passive speakers, which can offer better stereo separation, larger soundstage, and more natural sound. Add a subwoofer and it becomes a very capable music and TV system.
