I already had the WiiM Ultra and while it had all the functionality I want and need, I found voices sounded too sharp and my Yamaha RXA4A avr had better imaging and 3D effect so I returned it. However, would it make sense to purchase this wiim ultra again for it's eq and subwoofer management (which is a must for me since I have an active subwoofer) and feed it to an RAW-DAC1 and then use the RAW-DAC1 as a preamplifier to drive my power amp? Or would it be possible and/or better or just the same to instead hook my Yamaha RX-A4A (which I already own) outputs to the RAW-DAC1 which I would then drive my power amplifier with? Can you tell me what the Ultra's capabilities as a digital transport are and whether the DSP, EQ and Subwoofer management features of the Ultra works with an external Dac?
@@PrimeAudioReviews Do you mean connect the RAW-DAC1 to the rca preouts of the RXA4A and then RAW-DAC1 to power amp? RCA or balanced? If that's what you mean, another reviewer told me that hooking a preout to another preout would degrade output.

Just hook it up to your RX4A and subwoofer.

I have a SUX and SHX coming
David, thank you for another wonderful DAC review! 👌
