WiiM Amp Ultra & Ultra Experiences?

We are moving into a house in a few weeks which means I get to have a semi-dedicated listening space for my SDA-2BTLs! I am looking to simplify the setup a bit and interested in anyone's experiences with some of WiiM's hardware offerings.
The current setup is a Triad SA1 for streaming and amplification using ARC for audio backfeed from the TV for streaming video sources. Music is mostly streaming used Qobuz directly through Control4 which is somewhat clunky. Previously I've used a Carver TFM-35 I recapped and upgraded a few other components on and a Sonance 275SE for amplification.
I'm interested in the Wiim Ultra or Amp Ultra but torn on if the power output of the Amp Ultra will be enough for the SDAs at moderate volume or if the Ultra would be the better option and used as a preamp for one of the amps mentioned above.
We also have a Peachtree iDAC that I still like the sound of but the setup gets a bit messy when you then have to go coax from the Ultra to the DAC then to the amp and if the gains are minimal I'd love to simplify the setup.
Any input or experience with any of the WiiM hardware would be much appreciated!

I can't answer your question regarding the Wiim, but I wanted to congratulate you on the move. My house is so tiny that my rooms are all multipurpose, so I'm jealous. I'd love to have a dedicated listening room. The TFM-35 has those cool meters... I'd keep using it just for that.Enjoying the journey while never attaining the destination.
