I'm another one in the minority, have been using a wiim mini as a transport for just over a year and it hasn't put a foot wrong.
I'm not too fond of toslink tho and would prefer to use usb or i2s. I tried an ifi zen stream but it was very temperamental and unstable so it had to go back, pitty because when it was working, I liked it.
Which brings me to the ultra, it seems to be a more attractive package than the zen with better connectivity. Not sure what's holding me back.
Why not try a Pro?
I've a couple of Mini's but the Pro fairly easily best them in streaming. Unless you need the screen and the additional connectivity the Ultra appears to offer.
