Update..... I've fully switched to Android Tablets and Chromebooks when I got the WiiM Ultra.
Now, I can do bit perfect over the USB going to my DACs. Android and Chromebooks do not reclock the data going over ethernet -and Wifi- so it goes at the bit perfect bit rates.. and the WiiM Ultra does not reclock over USB and does not need USB-OTG... Using Tidal Connect.
I haven't tried FooBar yet to connect remotely to the DAC via WiiM Ultra as a remote 'audio device'.
In the past I used PCs, which work fine going directly to the DAC over USB but are more expensive.
So perhaps, the WiiM Ultra is a streamer.. or just a bridge?
I still believe that an i5 PC connecting to a good DAC over USB is sufficient. For USB at the DAC I recommend Schiit's Multibit Unison USB....
