WiiM’s Ultra Network Streamer is 20% off Right Now

One of the best network players is only $263 right now on Amazon. The WiiM Ultra is a steal for that price.

One of our favorite network players is actually on sale right now and we’re just surprised it is the WiiM Ultra which is already rather inexpensive at its regular price.

$263 for this hi-res network streamer might be one of the best deals we have come across so far.

Is WiiM becoming the next Schiit Audio or FiiO? We think that would be a fantastic development for the high-end audio world at a time when manufacturers seem overly focused on ultra high-end products with zero appeal to the vast majority of music listeners under the age of forty. Reality is products like the new WiiM Ultra Streamer that will retail for only $329 USD.

The WiiM Ultra is the successor to the popular and very capable WiiM Pro Plus introduced in August 2023.

As we mentioned in our previous preview article, the WiiM Ultra is designed to function as a central hub for your audio system with components normally found in more expensive units, along with solid build quality, flexible connectivity, and a front panel 3.5” full-color touchscreen. 

Hi-Res streaming capability, advanced room correction, and smart home integration is provided.

Also, just as with the previous WiiM Streamers, the Ultra works with the WiiM Home App.

Chris Boylan took a deeper dive into the entire WiiM Audio lineup in October and you can read it here to compare the features between all of the models.

But make no mistake — the WiiM Ultra is one if the best network players available below $1,000 — and that makes it a no-brainer at $263 USD.
