The 861 is raw control: 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 600 watts at 4 ohms and up to 800 watts as a monoblock, plus a damping factor of 900 that keeps even large woofers on a short leash. MDCA technology, true dual-mono and the absence of global negative feedback keep the signal clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 891 is the reference-level control centre: the MDE-3 engine converts PCM up to 32-bit \/ 384 kHz, native DSD256 and MQA, the M-RAY2 volume control operates with extremely low noise, and the MOON Damping Base (MDB) mechanically decouples the sensitive electronics from the surface underneath. Add to that streaming via MiND 2 (Roon Ready, Tidal, Qobuz), six digital inputs, HDMI ARC and a fully balanced MM\/MC phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposure you feel more than you hear. Even as the level rises, the playback stays relaxed – no compressing, no sharpening, just more music. In almost every situation the 861 has more reserve than the room ever calls for, and that's exactly what you hear in its calm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd to that the silence of the 891: a background free of base noise, against which the finest details – a cymbal's decay, a concert hall's reverb – stay clearly present instead of disappearing. Soundstage, depth layering and dynamics feel bigger and more natural as a result than with smaller chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this set for – and who is it not for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor demanding floorstanding or large speakers in big, well set-up rooms – and for listeners who want the maximum from both digital sources and vinyl alike, without thinking about external phono stages or converter boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonest take: for normal living-room volume in a medium-sized room, this is clearly oversized – most of its potential simply sleeps. If you want something a bit more compact but still at a high level, the 761 + 791 suits you better; if you want everything in one chassis, look at the MOON 371.

The analogue section works with the precise M-RAY2 volume control, and the MOON Damping Base (MDB) mechanically decouples the internals from the outside world.

It also converts its analogue input at 192 kHz \/ 24-bit instead of 48 kHz, and the Voice Remote is included. Connections, housing and app are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I still need an external DAC with the WiiM Pro Plus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AKM converter is exactly why the Pro Plus exists — you go straight into your amplifier via RCA. An external DAC only pays off once it plays noticeably above the streamer's level. In that case you use the optical or coaxial output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the WiiM Pro Plus drive a power amplifier directly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Switch the output level in the WiiM Home app from fixed to adjustable, and the Pro Plus works as a preamp for a power amp or active speakers. Do this before connecting — with a fixed level, full volume is otherwise present immediately when switched on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the WiiM Pro Plus?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no headphone output. Connect headphones to the amplifier or to a dedicated headphone amplifier downstream of the streamer. If you want both in one device, the WiiM Ultra is the right address — it has a genuine headphone output on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the WiiM Pro Plus at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we'll tell you when the extra cost for the Pro Plus makes sense — and when it doesn't. If your amplifier already has a good converter attached, you save the money. This kind of advice you won't find in any spec sheet. Add to that on-site setup, support from our technician and a properly handled warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matching amplifier is among the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vollverstarker\"\u003eintegrated amplifiers\u003c\/a\u003e, the speakers to go with it among the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/regallautsprecher\"\u003ebookshelf speakers\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/standlautsprecher\"\u003efloorstanding speakers\u003c\/a\u003e.

Which colour ultimately fits your rack is best worked out in conversation: silver often looks calmer next to light-coloured furniture, Space Gray disappears into dark racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwarded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top class, 5 out of 5 stars – HiFi Test 1\/2026 · 5 out of 5 stars – What Hi-Fi?, February 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the trade press says:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The build quality is excellent, and the features allow for a broad range of use, with the high sound quality rounding off the package.\" – HiFi Test 1\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: network streamer with DAC, phono input and headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay: 3.5-inch colour touchscreen behind glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiFi: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac\/ax, 2.4 and 5 GHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork connection: LAN 10\/100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth: 5.3 LE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC: ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 121 dB (line-out), 119 dB (headphones)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion THD+N: -116 dB (0.00015%) at line-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum resolution: 192 kHz \/ 24-bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 1 × RCA analogue (line-in), 1 × phono MM\/MC with grounding terminal, 1 × optical Toslink, 1 × HDMI ARC, 1 × USB-A (storage media), 1 × LAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: 1 × RCA analogue (line-out, max. 2.1 V), 1 × subwoofer (RCA), 1 × optical Toslink, 1 × coaxial (RCA), 1 × USB audio, 12 V trigger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput level: switchable — fixed or adjustable via app, remote control and rotary knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone output: present — 3.5 mm jack on the front, TI TPA6120A2 chip, around 150 mW at 32 ohms (manufacturer's figure); no 6.3 mm jack, no balanced output, no gain switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreaming protocols: Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music Cast, DLNA, Roon Ready, internet radio, NAS (no AirPlay 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoice control: Alexa and Google Assistant via the respective devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound settings: 10-band equalizer, parametric EQ, room correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: internal power supply, 100–240 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 211 × 72 × 200 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.42 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: WiiM Ultra, WiiM Voice Remote, power cable, HDMI cable, RCA cable, optical cable, phono grounding adapter, quick guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the WiiM Ultra?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. There's a headphone output with a 3.5 mm jack on the front, with its own TPA6120A2 chip, around 150 mW at 32 ohms. With high-impedance headphones it performs very well; with low-impedance models and in-ears it colours the sound audibly. For a 6.3 mm plug you need an adapter — we have those in store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the WiiM Ultra replace a dedicated headphone amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor occasional listening, yes; for daily headphone use, no. It lacks a 6.3 mm jack, balanced output and gain switching, and the output impedance is notably higher than on dedicated devices. If headphones are your main playback, hang a proper headphone amp off the line output — we'll show you suitable models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a difference between the silver and the grey version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, technically both are identical — same connections, same converter, same scope of delivery. It's purely about looks: silver goes well with light-coloured furniture and brushed aluminium, Space Gray stands out less in dark racks. Both variants are sold at the same price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I still need a phono preamp for my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The WiiM Ultra has a built-in phono input for MM and MC cartridges, including a grounding terminal. You connect the turntable directly. And because the Ultra digitises the signal, your record also plays across the multiroom network on request — in the bathroom, if you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the WiiM Ultra have AirPlay 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The WiiM Ultra supports Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music Cast, DLNA and Roon Ready, but not AirPlay 2. Anyone using AirPlay as their main route finds it on the WiiM Pro Plus or the WiiM Amp — we're happy to tell you which path fits your household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the WiiM Ultra at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Ultra replaces many devices and precisely because of that needs planning: what goes out, what stays, what needs rewiring?
