Thanks @amirm , I was looking forward to this review! As long as the display displays cover art and title/artist of the current song it would work for me. phono could be better though. But the volume control would really put me off from using it as a preamp.

In this context a way to turn on the power amp connected to the preamp/DAC by using the latter.

Now this one with additional phone input (MM) ... and I could reduce the number of devices in my main system. And I would no longer have to disconnect my DAC from power to avoid hum when playing vinyl. But then there is the WiiM Ultra which unfortunately lacks symmetric output. Looks like it...

Anyone an idea how the NAD C356BEE compares to the tested one? In terms of SINAD and SNR?

Does this mean that when listening to music with high dynamic range and moderate volume this amp would do well? Happy to see that it performs really well - tempted to add it to my small collection.

Not a good idea at all nowadays I'm afraid - unless you define an update window to run it outside your streaming hours.

That would be my main concern. Better to either separate the streaming part from other hardware or put it together with a decent affordable DAC (thinking of the Wiim Pro Plus which works well for me, or the Ultra)

Great review @amirm, thanks! Can anyone comment on the usefulness of loudness - pardon me for the question - I know that this contradicts with the ideal of an amp not to mess around with the input signal ...

Thanks @amirm for the review! And thanks @heraldo_jones for your post. Wondering whether I will notice this but won't be very likely I'm afraid since my ears are not getting younger... Just ordered them.

Great to have a review of a Nubert speaker here. Decent performance but unless some of its features are important to you (switches, deep bass) looks like there are better options out there for this price. I've got a Nubert subwoofer and am happy with it. Thanks @amirm for reviewing and to...

Thanks, then it should work, it's a preamp output. There's also a tape rec output - would the latter have fixed voltage output?

Not that i would know of. It's an integrated amp and there is no way to control the output voltage of its pre out when the case is closed. May be there's some way to change it after opening the case.

My turntable is connected to an exposure amp that has a phono card. If I connect the amp's pre out with the wiim's analogue line-in - how likely is that to be working?

Right now listening to So What by John Coltrane, and got to agree, very hard to beat with regular loudspeakers. Thanks Amir for the test!

Like the idea but we are talking moving targets here - like this year's standard?

At least it looks good :rolleyes: And you can find it for well under 1k € in Germany...

Thanks for the review @amirm ! Would be a nice replacement of my rather old network player that lacks EQ and has some connectivity issues. If only my simple DAC with tablet as streamer wouldn't work that well...

Not sure about but will keep it for now.

I'm using it in my small dining area with bookshelf speakers from KEF - works very well and the amp is easy to use and very reliable. Still a pity to see that it does not measure better.

Does anyone know which chip they are using? Thanks @amirm for pointing this out. The only audio device I've owned that broke was an amplifier but that was like 30 years back. To me it looks like that the ones from many bigger companies (e.g. Japanese ones) are more reliable these days - or is...
