Makes sense. Then the remote control solution would be the best one. One mic for everyone!

there is the nature of the microphone but also of the ADC which accompanies it in the remote control..especially when we know the very very modest use with which it is associated
That acts in the analog domain, so don't know if it's ideal for the same reason expressed before. The internals of each smartphone is different so could lead to a lot of variation. Following the same logic, the remote solution seems better as it defines a standard and makes it easier to relate to the software. (i guess)Dayton Audio iMM-6C USB-C Measurement microphone
Turn any phone or tablet with a USB-C connector into a high-quality audio measurement device with the Dayton Audio iMM-6C USB-C measurement microphone. Each iMM-6C is individually hand-calibrated using a laboratory microphone.
with internal adc
Agreed. I said "The internals of each smartphone is different so could lead to a lot of variation". The problem is not that it's analog, it's that it makes for variation within every different smartphone. The microphone i mentioned before sends the info in digital format, i guess the adc processing is done inside the microphone's unit itself, so if everyone uses the same unit, it's the same thing. With the remote it's the same situation. I'm talking only on a standardization point of view as it was the initial matter when comparing to apple devices.
Thanks.I don't have definitive answers, but...

The Wiim Amp supports NTFS, so probably:

Very unlikely IMO, but I don't see any statement one way or the other. (I assume you mean for playing music CDs. If you mean data CDs with music files, maybe.)
I think if the Ultra could play music from CD Drives, WiiM would have probably advertised that feature. Kind of like Eversolo with their A6 and A8.
Yes, of course one can always use a CD/DVD/Blue Ray player. However, as other music streamers, e.g. Eversolo and Lindemann, can play red book CDs from USB attached drives, it should not have been too hard for Wiim to do the same.
Hmm. That's a tough one. The expensive DAC might be doing some processing to make it "sound better", in which case it will not be "accurate". Otherwise, nobody would be able to hear any difference, but 95K buys a lot of wishful thinking!
Does the ultra have coax in?
Here are all inputs and outputs:

True, but how many boxes and sockets and plugs and cables etc do you really want in your life?Here are all inputs and outputs:
WiiM Ultra
More coax and Toslinks and a USB. I take your point. But in the other hand, there’s already optical in, HDMI in, USB in and streaming in, so that’s 4 + 2 analogue. We can always use more, but that’s not bad.
If you have a player with only Coax out, then you can convert that to Toslink for the Ultra, using a simple converter:

Exactly!
