Performance Specs

One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements. The WiiM Amp Ultra is rated at 100 watts RMS into 8-ohms.

Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:

  • 100 watts into 8-ohms
  • 200 watts into 4-ohms

How loud will 100 watts actually play in your room? →

Which speakers suit the WiiM Amp Ultra?

100 W into 8 ohms, 200 W into 4. We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current delivery.

We check power, impedance safety and current delivery - not just watts.

Need more power?

WiiM Amp Ultra is rated at 100 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our 91 to 120 watts band. The next band up is 121 to 180 watts, which is worth about 1.5dB more output. That is a real difference in headroom on peaks, and a modest one in how loud the system plays - power and loudness are not the same thing.

  • Sonos Amp – 125 watts, $699 compare
  • Emotiva BasX A2+ – 160 watts, $799 compare
  • Peachtree nova150 – 150 watts, $1,199 compare

Before buying watts, check what your speakers actually need: the amp and speaker matcher works it out from their sensitivity, impedance and your room. Plenty of systems are better served by the 61 to 90 watts band and better speakers.

When pairing the WiiM Amp Ultra with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels. Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.

Besides the performance specs of the WiiM Amp Ultra, the next important feature set that you have to evaluate is the input and output selections that it offers.

  • NAD C 328 - MSRP 699$ - Compare w/ Amp Ultra
  • Bluesound POWERNODE Edge - MSRP 649$ - Compare w/ Amp Ultra

Phono Input

WiiM Amp Ultra doesn't have a phono input so in order to play your vinyl albums, WiiM Amp Ultra has to be paired with a Phono Preamp that is MM (Moving Magnet) or/and MC (Moving COil) depending on your cartridge type.

DAC and Digital Music

The WiiM Amp Ultra's built-in DAC allows the connection of digital sources directly, eliminating the need for an external DAC. The DAC chip that is used in the Amp Ultra is the ESS ES9038Q2M, and supports resolutions up to 24-bit, 192KHZ.

WiiM Amp Ultra Pros and Cons

Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.

  • ✓Power nearly doubles into a harder load, 100 watts into 8 ohms rising to 200 into 4, which points to a power supply with real current in reserve.
  • ✓Class D output stage, so it runs cool and wastes little power as heat - which is how it fits in a small case.
  • ✓Built-in DAC handling 24-bit / 192, so a TV, computer or streamer can connect digitally with nothing in between.
  • ✓Digital inputs cover 1 optical and USB.
  • ✓Streams over the network without a separate streamer: Spotify Connect and Tidal; Chromecast built-in and Roon.
  • ✓Bluetooth (version 5.3) for playing straight from a phone.
  • ✓Dedicated subwoofer output (Mono RCA).
  • ✓At 202mm wide it fits where a full-size component will not.
  • ✗Parts warranty is only 1 year.
