WiiM Pro AirPlay 2 Receiver, Google Cast Audio, WiFi Multiroom Streamer, Compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant, Stream Hi-Res Audio from Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal and More

Am not a fan of any Chineese-made product, as their quality is commonly lacking. Nevertheless, after all the rave reviews about Wiim, decided to take the plunge and buy the Wiim Pro. In retrospect, I wish that I purchased the Pro+ in order to get the AKM 4493-based DAC, but (despite this) the Pro is simply awesome! Have had zero issues with the Pro's build quality, app, or operation. Setup was a breeze. Sound quality is perfect. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the built-in equalizer as the (thankfully bypassable) bass and treble adjustments on my simple integrated amp are not even close to properly sculpting the sound. I also love that (a) the app is so well conceived and executed, and FLAWLESSLY does everything that I ask of it, and (b) that AirPlay always works perfectly and is crystal clear. The Pro is worth every penny of its asking price and has become one of my all-time favorite audio products. You're gonna love it!

The Wiim Pro Plus is my second Wiim device and they are both among the best audio purchases I've ever made. You simply cannot get more bang for the buck than what you get with these network streamers. Up until this weekend, I used a Wiim Mini. It's a FANTASTIC bargain and really, it's all you need if you can use its optical digital output paired with a decent DAC. I *loathe* streaming music in general and find that fidgeting with computers to play sound is an extremely frustrating affair: apps lock up, systems need to be rebooted, Siri and Alexa play the wrong stuff, songs are just *missing* from albums. For an old, album-oriented guy like me, it's super frustrating that I can't just walk up to the player, insert a disc, and press the "play" button anymore. But I'm an idiot and I sold all of my CDs so... But the Wiim is rock solid. I've never had to reboot it. It works without question with my phone using Tidal Connect and Spotify. It probably does a bunch of other stuff too (NO Apple, surprisingly) that I don't need; for instance, I could probably yank back some of that out-of-print music I have sitting in my personal cloud drive and use a DLNA server here in the house. It sounds *superb* playing lossless audio, but most of all I just don't have to mess with it. Ever. I can't stress how important that is. Wiim makes a quality product. So why the upgrade? I upgraded my amplifier from Yamaha's entry level to one of their flagship models, and it doesn't have a DAC. Therefore, I could have chosen to keep the Wiim Mini and buy one more little box to convert digital signal to analog, or I could just drop less than $200 and get an upgraded streamer and a VERY high quality DAC all-in-one. Plus it has a digital optical input, so I can link my TV through a SPDIF cable, and *boom*. High quality audio for movies. Even though I'm a two channel guy. My new amplifier makes my turntable sound sublime, and the new Wiim Pro Plus handles everything digital. I couldn't be more pleased. If you have a modern amplifier with digital innards, get the Wiim Mini. You don't need more! If you're like me, and you prefer old school audio gear with as few bolt-ons as possible, but you're looking for something you can stream audio through, get the Wiim Pro Plus. You'll be hard pressed to find anything that outperforms it, even at the $700-800 price point. Dollar-for-feature, this thing is bulletproof.

Review of WiiM Mini, Pro, and Vibelink Amp WiiM is a new addition to the list of companies offering hardware streaming components. Up until recently, the pricing made using a dedicate streamer not cost-effective for me. WiiM changed all of that with their offerings of high quality streamers at decent prices which are far below their competitors. After reading reviews about their offerings, I purchased a WiiM mini to try out in our living room. Found it very easy to set up using their free app for IOS and Android (Note, a HUGE plus that their Android app does NOT require google play services as I am running a de-googled phone and tablet). Liked that it had optical out so I could take advantage of my Topping DAC (which was superior to the one in the Mini, though that one is fine for most people). Loved being able to stream low res (Pandora), high res (Amazon) and ultra high res (Qobuz) from one device using their well thought out and very useful app. WiiM Mini: Pros: price, decent DAC, Optical output, seamless connection to main streaming services. Cons: no support for Squeezelite (for connection to local ripped music using LMS (Lyrion Music Server)). The lack of Squeezelite support on the Mini was not a deal breaker in the location where I had it installed (living room) as the streaming options more than took care of our music requirements there. But my office / family room was another matter. I have hundreds of ripped CDs (to FLAC) on my LMS server and up until then, had been using a Raspberry Pi 4 running moOde audio player as the Squeezelite end point to connect to LMS.This has worked well but I was hoping to find a single solution for streaming and using my local audio on LMS. The WiiM Pro, the Mini's big brother, looked to be the solution I was looking for. Since I would be using a Topping DAC, I didn't feel the need to spring for the Pro Plus (which has a better DAC). I purchased the WiiM Pro and as with the Mini, set up was a breeze. I enabled Squeezelite from the setting and it immediately found and connected to my LMS server. I then had access to streaming and my LMS music collection form within the WiiM app. Very sweet! And even better, I love the material skin that was created for the old/outdated LMS interface and can control the playing of my local music from there (which I prefer) or use the WiiM app. Both work flawlessly. WiiM Pro: Pros: price, decent DAC, optical and RCA analog inputs, optical, coax, RCA analog outputs. Gigabit Ethernet as well as WiFi. Cons: None Time went by and then I saw that WiiM released an amp called the Vibelink. Read a number of reviews including those on Audio Science Review, and all praised the build, specs and capabilities of this $300 amp. I thought my current receivers/amps (Yamaha) were decent but the Vibelink sure was enticing. It checked all the boxes of what I needed: Inputs: Optical, Coax, RCA. Superior DAC, Analog pass-thru w/o ADC processing. Banana plug speaker connectors. Not a lot of extras in the box that impacted the sound quality. I bit the bullet and placed an order. Installation was easy and the WiiM app detected it and downloaded/installed the firmware update. Connected my turntable (RCA input), CD player (optical digital in) and WiiM Pro (digital coax in). Turned it on and WOW. I thought my Yamaha receiver was decent so didn't expect to hear much or any difference. Was I wrong. Sound was much fuller and clearer. It had more "presence and clarity" is how I think I would describe it. Connected to Qobuz and streamed some jazz and rock @ 24/96 and it sounded incredible. Streamed some typical HD rock from Amazon 16/44.1 and it too sounded excellent. Played a CD and it was clearer than I had ever heard before. Spun up a jazz LP, and wow, could not believe how clean and clear an old Vinyl album could sound. Even low res Pandora streaming sounded good (though no where near HD or UHD streaming from Qobuz). I knew right away this was money well spent. WiiM Vibelink Amp Pros: Amazing sound, banana speaker connectors, digital and analog inputs, 12v trigger for auto-on when WiiM Pro streamer starts streaming music. 60 min standby / off when music stops. Cons: No remote so to adjust your volume you use the streaming app and/or manually adjust on the Amp. Not a big deal to me but this may be an issue for some if their amp is in a cabinet or not easily accessible. ditto for the power button on the back (though that does make the front much cleaner and elegant looking). I hope this review is helpful. I'm really impressed with the WiiM products I've used so far.

I connected with Ethernet and Optical to my DAC. I'm using the WIIM in a desktop set up. The sound is great. It was easy to set up and was working in a very short time. The only reason I did not give a five-star rating is because the PC app does not work very well. I couldn't load some of my services. That said, the PC app is still in Beta. I would and do recommend this streamer to anyone looking for an affordable means to stream music.

Buena calidad de manufactura, super intuitivo y funciona sin interrupciones. Lo tengo con conexión RCA a un sistema Onkyo en la Opción de "Pure Audio" que es dónde encuentro la mejor fidelidad para lo que brinda TIDAL. La app con el ecualizador paramétrico es estupenda.

Nice streamer. Included remote control is very nice as I don't want to use my smartphone for vol. control all the time. I'm running a tablet for this with different. apps like Internet radio, Spotify, Soundcloud etc. All well. In configuration can set individual sound profiles (Equalizer) and save them . However, I wish once you run Soundcloud for instance and then switch to Internet radio that my saved eq presets would follow. But they do not. This as Soundcloud is very bass heavy so my Soundcloud equipment setting would be too anemic when switching to another music app. Have to do always manually. Having that linked automatically would be really great. Otherwise very satisfied with quality of that streamer. Gets very regular updates. Kudos to the developer.

Good

Bardzo dobry streamer. Jakość dźwięku świetna, łatwość instalacji i kompaktowe gabaryty to dodatkowy plus. Największym zaskoczeniem jednak jest dedykowana aplikacja, która działa perfekcyjnie i bardzo uprzyjemnia korzystanie ze sprzętu. Pilot również jest ok, można przypisać kilka przycisków do np. ulubionych stacji radiowych. Polecam niezdecydowanym 😎

I was looking for a Network streamer and did a bit of research on the internet and Youtube. After comparing the risk reward of each streamer, I finally bought one Wiim Pro Plus streamer. The initial sound from the Wiim Pro Plus connected to my Muzishare X7 integrated amp via a pair of Van Den Hul (The First) interconnect played through a pair of 92db Focal JMLab speakers was definitely better sounding than streaming via a Bluetooth receiver. Initially, even while I was streaming hi-res audio via Tidal, it sounded slightly flat and the sound stage felt a little compressed at the start. However, after watching a YouTube video on Best EQ settings by the cheapaudioman, I punch in the same setting he suggested and make some minor tweaks, and immediately the sound stage opened up, and the bass felt fuller. Now, I'm truly enjoying music that is streaming through the Wiim Pro Plus, playing Tidal via the Wiim home app. Be sure to fit this streamer with the best quality audio you can find, and it will definitely shine, it will not disappoint you. This is a highly recommended streamer at this price point for sure.
