My channel was recently deleted & I am currently working on uploading all of my old videos. I like audio gear & make simple, short direct reviews.
I do not not get paid to make videos so I try to use as much free services as possible such as pictures & background music.

hey can you try to get the Naim Uniti CI-102 and review it lol. it's been out less than 10 months and NO ONE will review it.
I've got two TZero's, excellent and the best Subs I've owned. Much better than the behemoths I've had.
Play a record?
Finally a woman HiFi personality! Some of the technical stuff goes over my head a bit! Why an external DAC etc.Thanks for the info...👍
I have an SMSL PO100PRO and you are correct...it takes the sound of my Wiim ULTRA to another level. That PO100PRO is a digital to digital converter. I have an actual Dac Geshelli J2S w/Burson op amp and my gear sounds phenomenal. That Wiim Ultra gives me preamp, subwoofer control, eq, and tidal connect. At $330 you can't get this level of functionality.
My bad you suggested DO100 Pro which is in fact a Digital to Analog converter (DAC). My suggestion was and is the introduction of an SMSL PO100PRO which is Digital to Digital Converter. That device cleans up the digital clocking and MY Geshelli DAC eliminates the internal DAC within Wiim Ultra. That leaves streaming, EQ, subwoofer management, preamp... WHERE do you get that level of control over my sonic preferences? My Wiim Ultra slid right into my system which includes class AB power, linear power supply, Geshelli DAC, dual subwoofers, power conditioner. In the right environment, you can't beat the Wiim Ultra Streamer.
Hello, good review. straight to the point- which i like. But i wonder why do you think you need xlr connectivity? Other than lower noise floor on really long runs and a 3 to 6db gain, which equates to simply turn the volume up louder, there is no need for xlr in home audio if componenets are correctly matched and your AC line is good, and ofcourse you do not have poor quality cabling. I noticed your speaker of choice, far from my personal choice, considering the room you have (as shown in the video). This device isn't ment to be a world beater, its design is to get one involved in what is musically possible at a lower price point. I use mine in my home office and i love it , as it greatly simplfies set up and space savings, and is still far better then most home audio recievers, natively. I mean seriously what do ya want for 330.00 bucks. I think it's pretty darn good for the price point.
I’ve watched numerous reviews of this dac and you’re the first person that went into details on sound signature of each op amp. Great job on bringing new information on this excellent dac!
LOL!!!
Another great review, thanks PF! I have 2 of these, one in my “vintage” system (Kenwood receiver and large Advent speakers) so I can stream when not playing vinyl on that system. The sound was good but not great until I added a DAC (SMSL SU-1) between the WiiM and the receiver. This really opened the sound up to the point where it rivals my main system (KEF, Denon, Audiolab, Cambridge). Fun times!
Thanks for the explanation of the op amp options Geshelli offers. I've watched other reviews about Geshelli products but didn't have a clue about what types would be best or how to change them. You are fabulous!!
not available in the uk
I just found your channel and loved this review. My first Marantz was a 2215 as a teenager, although I added a 2220B during Covid which I recapped. They are fabulous vintage amps…definitely warm sounding…and some of the classiest kit you will find from any era. Keep up the good work!
Bravo Spud! I love that you have the product in frame the whole time, minus your b-footage.
😍
I was gonna get this but then I heard that it didn't sound great, just ok. I'm waiting on the FIIO S15.
Great video! I need to get my hand on a Geshelli soon!
I totaly agree, great amp!
Heco Celan Revolution 3 or Dali Rubicon 2 ?
Sorry, I have not auditioned the Dali.
I use a pair of SVS SB-16 Ultra, they were double boxed with thick foam inserts.
I have them and I like them.
I really enjoy your videos! They are short and to the point without the 20 min rambling most reviewers add. Congratulations and thank you!
I appreciate that!
Hi ! I'm glad you are not like some reviewers who give glowing review for everything they listen to. These speakers have some issues quite noticeable and considering their price, should have been adressed. Good job and thank you!
Another great review. Thank you. Can I ask what make are the red acoustic panels you have ?
GIK Acoustics
Very nice intro. Except for the measurement sentiment, I truly support your approach. I found your channel through your Wiim Ultra review, and love that unbiased description of the sound. Most other reviews describe the sound as great, but often noting other, more expensive products to be better, but I was considering this for a compact system playing directly into active speakers, and then a separate DAC would destroy the simplicity of the system. I look forward to more of your honest and hopefully unbiased reviews.
Thank You.
Is it possible to connect an Android tablet using a USB-C to USB-B cord?
I am not sure.
Glad I didn't jump on the hype train.. thanks for the amazing review!
Thanks for such a concise review, especially in regards to the soundstage. I have the Wiim Pro and have been trying to decide about adding an external dac, and you provided very helpful information. Just what I needed.
My experience with the Ultra is that the sound quality is seriously lacking in the midrange. I was streaming via WiFi using Amazon Music High Resolution which ordinarily produces excellent sound when connected via an older iPad using the Amazon Music app and the auxiliary cable for output to the RCA input on my vintage receiver. I would gladly sacrifice the convenience of using my phone for brilliant full clear sound.
Dude! Run it thru a DAC. Then get a digital to digital converter and you have the best solution under $1,000. All of you who don't have linear power supply, an audiophile DAC, subwoofers, digital to digital converter...yeah that Wiim ULTRA might not sound good. I have all that infrastructure and my Wiim Ultra sounds absolutely PHENOMENAL!
Nice structure of the review still I would favorite a warmer sorroundings for the video. Avoiding this "interrogation room" decor :)
Excellent detailed review on this amp! I read several reviews and videos on this amp and yours provided additional details that the others forgot to mention :)
Hey! Thanks for this review. And I have a question: What do you think about to add a Pre-Amp-Equalizer right before the SA20. It would be a: Wangine WVQ 600 PRO Does it take some important Quality from the Source away or would it be a good upgrade? 🥰
Try it, maybe you will prefer the sound. I have never used a Wangine.
Hi. Do you have an option for people to support your channel on Patreon? Nice work!
Sorry, I do not. However, thank you for the kind words!
I just can't get over the aesthetics. It looks very cheaply built. From the 4 exposed screws securing the front and rear panels to the cheap aluminum pieces. Acrylic is very soft and will easily scratch too. Otherwise it appears to be a great performer at a very good price. I just do not like the case build quality at all. Obviously just my personal preference. I'd consider the wood, but that still uses the cheap looking acrylic front and rear. If they offered a front panel made of wood...
Nice review and great looking vintage Marantz receiver. My second Wiim Mini should arrive today. I could not resist Amazon’s Black Friday price of $71.20.
Great review! Are you using it with WIFI? I plan on using my SMSL VMV DAC with the Ultra, so I'm excited to hear the setup.
Thank You. I use WiFi.
Had anyone upgraded their power supply??? If so, with what???
I bought the IFI X Power adapter. Couldn't believe the difference it made. Not night and day but noticable. Cleaner more airy.
@brianmiller3121 Thanks!
Just received the FiiO PL50 12/15v linear power supply. It's literally unbelievable with the J3. Unbalanced is a great upgrade, and the balanced is unreal. It's $128 on Aliexpress. Not sold on Amazon.
I've upgraded to the 2590 op amps on my xlr outputs. It's a solid piece of equipment and sounds absolutely outstanding!
Great review. Liked comment about moving up to the R3 from LS50 due to overworking driver on the LS50. Again great job!
I’ve got the J2S, going to get the J3 or dayzee soon. When I ordered my J2, I made a few adjustments with opamps and color. This company is great. They make you feel like you’re their most important customer. If every company on the planet did business like geshelli, life would be soooo much better. Also, great video. Your presentation was clean, easy to understand and informative. Thx!
I appreciate the feedback.
I love the top of the line Sparkos SS2590 op-amp - it has incredibly clean and neutral tonal balance, and wonderful dynamics. A "3D" soundstage with layering that is second to none, in my opinion. I have owned the Geshelli J2, J2S (with two different AKM chips) and now the Dayzee. Using an improved power supply (I have a linear power supply) and upgraded to the SS2590 op-amps - it is the best DAC I have heard.
Which linear power supply are you using for the Dayzee?
@@AntonioJoSeis I am using a dual voltage custom made by Pine Tree Audio - it has 12V 4A for the Dayzee and 5V 3A (I think?) for my Bluesound Node 2i.
Absolutely lovely! The Geshelli looks nice too!
Great Vid. Good Job! Just a quick question, before you connected an external DAC and noticed the sonic differences, did you allow the onboard ESS to "Burn-In" Did the sound of the stock ultra improve with hours of use or did you simply make your original observations and changeout to external?
Yes I did for about a month. Infact, most of the times I use the Wiim with no external DAC. (Too many wires). I did not find change in sound even after after 30 days of using internal DAC.
nice review with op amp options... well explained
Great review! I love that you hit all the main points of the dac and gave us a breakdown of the difference in the op amps. I love your channel. Keep up the great work! Happy Holidays everyone!
Cute intro video. The military movies preference is interesting. I'll come back around once more content is posted.
After hearing sound comparisons of the RP-600m's and RP-600mIIs, I do like the high end better on the originals. The MKII's sound a bit more muffled on the high end. However, with the MKII's you also don't have the hole in the frequency response at 1.5k, which is a known flaw of the original's. I agree with the OP that the high end on the Klipsch (either model) does get fatiguing after a while. I had found that a better choice over these speakers for something similarly sized and priced, would be the KEF Q-350's. I absolutely LOVE these. They are amazing. They have far better sound stage and imaging over the Klipsch speakers. Also, the concentric drivers mean you will have a more usable listening space as moving around the speakers doesn't affect the imaging as much as with standard, separate woofers and tweeters.
enjoyed the review.
Nice video, and I love that color scheme.
Great video, and a testament to the hope you bring as a young, smart, and personable audiophile and content creator. I have a really nice/special Dac already, but your review makes me want to get a Geshelli. Adjustable sound signature in a very high quality Dac is really temping! Thank you for your comprehensive review🙏🏼
I had J3 with 2590 op amps. I loved that thing. Now I'm waiting for my Dayzee with 2590 op amps. Geshelli are great people with great products. Very nice video.
