WiiM Pro Plus AirPlay 2 Receiver, Google Cast Audio, Multiroom Streamer with Premium AKM DAC, Voice Remote, Works with Alexa/Siri/Google, Stream Hi-Res Audio from Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal and More

Great product but no uk plug on ones bought from Amazon. Bought another one on Black Friday with £50 discount from Richer Sounds with uk plug. Works brilliantly with great sound and ok remote. receives lots of over the air updates Obviously don’t know about long term reliability yet but fingers crossed. I originally bought the Cambridge Audio CXN v2 streamer but decided I wanted to use a music services native app. Lots to like about the CXN v2 but expensive and does not have Amazon Alexa capabilities. Cambridge app was stable and decent, bit plain, has good predictive music search. I tried some popular music services and use an iPhone and iPad mainly. The Wiim app is decent and stable but there’s still no predictive search facility like on native apps. We already have Apple Music family plan but this is restricted to Airplay and it’s ok but not hi res. Tidal was ok but too expensive, Tidal Connect was good hi res but you had to be on the Tidal app to control volume when using phone or iPad Qobuz, I liked also but too jazz oriented for me. Decent price for high quality music . Chrome cast worked well, sound quality slightly capped but still very good hi res and you didn’t have to be on the qobuz app to be able to control the volume which I like although frequently it would lose the ability to control the sound with the physical iPad buttons. Also no gap less play with Chromecast. Amazon Music I’m using now and this to me is where this Wiim Pro Plus excels. I believe it’s the only streamer with Alexa cast built in? Anyway, I’ve set it all up with Alexa app and connected the Wiim remote . All I have to do now is pick up the remote and ask it to play whatever I like and it switches on the Wiim and my amp (Cambridge Audio CXA 61 using trigger cable) and plays music. Alexa repeats what you have asked for and so by the time a couple of seconds have gone by for the units to switch on you don’t miss the beginning of the song. Also using native Amazon Alexa Cast is really good and works well. You don’t have to be on the Amazon music app to control the volume, the physical iPad buttons work, nice and flexible. Only things I don’t like about using Amazon music Alexa Cast is that it can sometimes be slow to react and you may have to press twice to choose a different song on the Amazon music app, there is no volume slider to look at/use on the app and the ‘up next’ usually only shows about 1 song. The volume control with physical iPad buttons on native apps can ‘jump’ in larger increments when using ‘Connect’ type features. (This happened on The Cambridge CXN v2 also) For the most subtle increments of volume the Wiim app and remote are best. The remote is also handy for quickly putting on the radio/playlist using the 4 remote presets. I initially thought I wouldn’t bother using the remote but usually have it handy now. Hope that helps anyone with their research.

I had previously been using a Raspberry Pi to stream Qobuz to my DAC in my 2 channel hifi system; however, I was becoming tired of the clunky user experience so decided to give the Wiim Pro Plus a try. As I have already have a (very nice) DAC I was unsure whether to simply get the non-pro version and save a little money as I anticipated I would use my DAC rather than the built in one in the Pro Plus; however, at the time there was a 10% discount on the Pro Plus version and I fancied a remote control. The unboxing experience was excellent and didn’t feel budget at all, the device is wrapped in protective plastic within the box and you get all the plugs and cables you need to get going. If I could criticize the build, there are some faint marks on top of the case when the light hits the case at a certain angle. I think this might be from the protective plastic the device is shipped in? The device was very straight forward to get going, simply plug it into your system, switch it on and follow the prompts in the app. The device will update itself and within a few minutes from unboxing it is ready to start using. I didn’t experience any bugs or frustrations during setup. The app is quite comprehensive, so I recommend reading the online Wiim Pro Plus manual while you await the delivery of the device. I think you will then find it easier to navigate and set up the app the way you prefer it right from the off. Initially, I used the RCA outs directly into my amplifier and I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. The sound is smooth with no obvious harshness or other annoying traits and I can listen to music for hours without fatigue. I tried using my DAC and used a good quality QED glass optical cable from the Wiim to the DAC and set the Wiim to 24/192 output via optical. The sound was what I would expect from my DAC, most notably, the sound was more holographic, wider soundstage and the bass was a bit punchier; however, not as forgiving of poorer recordings. Things I didn’t like about using my DAC were a slight grain to the music which I eventually sorted by reducing the resolution from the optical out of the Wiim from 24/192 to 16/44.1, I don’t know if this is a Wiim issue, a DAC issue or choice of cable. Also there would be a pop through the speakers when switching between tracks with different resolutions e.g. going from 24/192 to 16/44.1. This popping was reduced by adjusting the settings in the app; however, it still occurred on occasion. Ultimately, I went back to using RCA directly to my amplifier and while the sound is not as holographic, as wide or as punchy, it is not far off and I need to A/B compare them to pick out the differences. I now use my DAC solely for playing CDs. I stream using Qobuz and using Qobuz through the Wiim app is glitch free and a pleasure to use. It doesn’t have all the functionality of the Qobuz app, and I’ve noticed when listening to an album and choosing to view similar albums, these similar albums are the same no matter what genre of music or album you listen to. When using Qobuz Connect, this is a non issue; however, Qobuz Connect seems to have a bug just now (noticed this through the Raspberry Pi as well) in that the track time bar on the now playing screen freezes sometimes and only works again if I minimise the now playing screen and then bring it back. This issue doesn’t occur when using Qobuz via the Wiim app. The Roomfit functionality through the app can work well; however, I find it to be inconsistent and needed a number of attempts to get a sound I liked. When I eventually got a sound I liked, the difference was subtle. I would say the biggest benefit is a more focussed, slightly more holographic sound. I recommend reading the manual on how to operate the Roomfit as there are a few settings to adjust. There is EQ functionality too, and this can be used in conjunction with the Roomfit; however, I’m happy with the tonal balance of my system and don’t use EQ. Overall, it's amazing how far inexpensive streamers (and DAC’s) have come in the last few years. I'm pleased I went for the Pro Plus version and I recommend it.

I originally bought the Pro version before the Pro Plus was released - the Pro Plus is a definite upgrade from the Pro and well worth the extra money in my opinion despite the similarities. Pro's: 1. Really easy to setup via the WiiM app that is provided - was up and running within 2 minutes of plugging it in. 2. Functionality is amazing - I have used Sonos and others in the past and this for me is the most versatile device with the best user software. The included remote also has excellent voice connectivity if you don't have another smart device running into it. 3. Versatility is also great - I have connected Amazon bluetooth devices that play by default through this device and it works perfectly effectively as the 'main speaker' for an echo dot. Yet I can still use the remote to get the WiiM to directly play anything from my connected services such as Amazon Music and Spotify. It just works. 4. Clarity and quality of audio - this is where the Pro Plus earns its money as it's immediately obvious that the DAC is superior to the Pro version. I run this into high quality vintage hifi via quality coax cables and it sounds as clear and impressive as my high quality CD source. In some cases with high quality audio files it's actually superior. 5. Size is great, it sits on the bottom shelf of my hifi rack, innocuously going about its business! Cons: 1. The price is much higher than the Pro version and their connectivity and usability is the same - so go for this if you have higher quality audio kit that needs a good source 2. For the price I would love to have seen a front display of some form, beyond the single LED that sits there, just to show source/levels etc. However I'd rather the money was spent of the excellent DAC that sits within the device I guess. Overall, I love this device and feel no need to look elsewhere at far more expensive alternatives with a few more flashy features. It does what it does exceptionally well and I hope it continues to do so (and be fully supported) for years to come.

The reviews are right. This little brother of the Wiim Ultra does a good job. It is flexible and easily controllable from the App. Easily connected and away you go. I have it plugged in to back of an old Denon unit in the bedroom and also have the TV plugged in to the Wiim. Streaming is quite easy as App guides you through the set up. Sound quality is good. Obviously the Wiim would benefit from a better amp to supply but the flexibility of the Wiim overcomes all ills. Just turn the amp up to 80% and control everything on the App. Purchased on an Amazon Prime Day including 6 months interest free the price was a no-brainer. If you get one of these for less than £200 you're on to a winner as they are holding their price on the second hand market. Probably will but another for other systems and "Wiim up" across the house.

I’ll keep it simple. Built quality ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sound ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Software or app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pros: The line out using it’s DAC AKM chip sounds going to your stereo amplifier produces very analogue like, good for slow live and instrumental musics. The app works great and with lot of features like EQ and room correction. Cons: Sounds soft at times, not so good with dance or electronic and rock musics. Better use it’s digital output for this. The room correction capability is good. It can overdo the EQ for you, but then you can readjust it a little bit. I’m keeping this device for convenience, ease of use and the value for money. But if you’re after quality built and better sounds of a music streamer, probably you have to pay double or even 4x from the other brand.

This little box is remarkably good value for money. I recently purchased it to replace an aging Squuezebox Touch in a high quality hifi system. From the box it sounded great but on the Wiim forum it was suggested that you could further improve the sound by using an Apple phone charger rather than the supplied mains adapter. I tried this and there was a very real improvement in sound quality. There has been a lot of positive comment on the in built equalisation software, enabling you to alter the sound to suit your room/ears. I have tried this and couldn’t get results that I was happy with; may be more experimentation is needed. At the end of the day you don’t have to use this feature. Set up is very easy and the sound quality is excellent. Strongly recommended if you want a flexible and great sounding streamer.

I wanted to re-instate my old stereo but needed a source to replace the KEF LSX all-in-one system I was removing. This streamer seemed like it would do the job. It did ... It comes in a good quality package with an engineered box reminiscent of Apple products. Includes USB C power supply and cable, interconnects and a Getting Started manual Absolute doddle to set up, it did a firmware update as part of initialisation. You are invited to download the app as part of set up, for which there is a helpful QR code in the manual. Excellent app interface which has access to a large range of functions: inputs, outputs, sound quality, Alexa, Chromecast, Bluetooth, WiFi, to name just a few. You can if you wish re-name the device for multi-room applications, although I am not planning to do this . You can even look at your network status. Streets ahead of the app for my old Kef all-in-one setup, but that is a few years old now. Comes with a remote but I have no need for it if using the app. There are touch controls on the front panel as well, but you can disable these in the app. Seems to have every streaming service imaginable built-in, maybe not all but all the ones I've ever heard of. Including BBC radio and some other audio services but sadly no sign of Planet Rock. Seamless working from phone or desktop computer via WiFi or Airplay. Haven't yet got the CD player or Minidisc going through it yet, but the app allows most inputs to be configured, some with auto select. Single RCA output to my old Denon amplifier is all I need but there is a choice of digital outputs if you have a more modern device. A range of DAC outputs is also selectable, which I wasn't expecting! I've no idea how to use anything other than the default but if that's your bag, you've got it! Highly recommended.

Setup was refreshingly easy. Plug it in, open the app, and it pretty much walks you through everything. I was up and running in minutes without having to mess about. The unit itself is small(ish), neat and understated, so it sits nicely with other audio gear without drawing attention to itself. Sound quality is very good for the size and price. Music comes through clean and detailed, with a noticeable step up from streaming straight off a phone. I mainly use Apple Music and AirPlay, and it’s been rock-solid - easy to cast and consistent. It also works well with Spotify, TIDAL and Amazon Music, so you’re not locked into one platform. Overall it just does what it’s supposed to do, and does it well. Simple to set up, well made, and sounds great for everyday listening. A smart way to add proper streaming to an existing system without replacing everything.

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.

der WiiM ersetzt bei mir den zweiten doppelt so teueren, renommierteren Streamer, die in den entsprechenden Zeitschriften sehr gelobt werden Der Klang über den Digitalausgang scheint mir subjektiv deutlich besser als vorher zu sein, auch wenn ich mir der Möglichkeit eines Placeboeffektes im Sinne von „neues Gerät=besserer Klang“ bewußt bin. Den eingebauten DAC nutze ich für meine Nubert Aktivboxen nicht. Hauptvorteil ist aber die deutlich komfortablere Software. Die Einrichtung ist sehr einfach. Die Streaming Dienste sind einfach einzubinden. Deren Liste ist vielleicht nicht so umfangreich wie bei anderen. so fehlt beispielsweise für Klassik Fans Idagio, aber die gängigen sind alle vorhanden. Auch Amazon music funktioniert, allerdings nicht die Favoritenverwaltung. Das liegt nach FAQ aber an der Schnittstelle die Amazon bereitstellt. Hier würde man sich mehr Kooperation von Amazon music wünschen! Die Benützung der Amazon music App mit AirPlay ist dazu keine Alternative, da die Musikwiedergabe dann bei jedem SoundClip unterbrochen wird. Vermißt wird die Möglichkeit die Musiksammlung über USB anzubinden. Der Fitzbox Medienserver ist zwar einfach einzubinden und ermöglicht die Musikwiedergabe. Diesem fehlt aber die Anzeigemöglichkeit für album Tags. Wenn die NAS ohnehin immer läuft und man noch Wert auf die eigene Musiksammlung legt, ist das aber kein Problem. Ich habe zwar keine eigene Erfahrung mit roon, könnte mir aber vorstellen, dass die steuerungssoftware von WiiM eine starke Konkurrenz für die werden wird Resümee in aufsteigender Bedeutung: toller Preis, toller Klang, tolle Software!

This multistreamer was a perfect choice. After a while I found out sone very nice details that made the use much easier. Like the autodetect of the optical signdl from my TV and the trigger output so that my amplifier turns on automatically. The D/A has been tested to be of high quality. I agree.

High quality streamer with a great ADC and DAC. I bought the Wiim Pro Plus to pair with an older analogue system with a classic Sansui turntable. The high quality ADC in the Wiim Pro Plus allows me to digitise the output of the turntable (via the phono stage in my old Rotel amp) and I can now play my records at high quality in almost any room of my house. I already have two Wiim Minis and a Wiim Ultra so I am used to Wiim’s great ecosystem and excellent app support and love the flexibilty of multi room audio. As well as my analogue sources, the Wiim app allows me to choose from a number of streaming sources and internet radio and my own Plex server to play my own library of music. The Pro Plus has AirPlay support and I can stream Apple Music from my phone via AirPlay to the Pro Plus and play it in up to three other rooms via multi room on the Wiim devices. Played through my older analogue system the Pro Plus sounds fantastic. Very pleased with this purchase.

Using the WiiM Pro Plus as a primary sound source in an office environment. I'm using the WiiM Home App or alternatively the Tidal Connect link using Tidal's app. The WiiM unfolds MQA on Tidal for a perceptibly clearer and more dynamic sound. The WiiM Pro Plus sits on a shelf above my dedicated headphone amplifier -- a Schist Ragnarok -- and plays music through a set of Audeze LCD-2 headphones that I've had for years. I'm using my iPad as a control device (either the WiiM Home app or Tidal app) while I do actual work on my iMac. I've only had this for a couple of days, so I don't have anything to say about reliabiiity or long-term listening fatigue. I CAN say that I'm finding the sound quality much better than I feared. My primary listening system uses very high-quality audiophile gear that I've painstakingly acquired to achieve great sound. The DAC alone is more than 10 times more expensive than the WiiM, and my electrostatic speakers are over $10,000 these days. So I'm used to good sound. That said, the WiiM Pro Plus is a simply OUTSTANDING deal. I'm not doing any critical listening, but I'm quite happy with my new office music partner. Setup was trivial, although the instructions were either too simple or too complex. The only quick-setup guide was for the hand-held remote, and that's sending me to a device menu buried in the user interface. The full 40-page manual can be downloaded, and poking around will reveal the performance, hook-up, and features that are quite impressive (10-band equalizer, for instance, or the ability to sync multiple units together for whole-house sound, as examples). For my super-simple office application it was major overkill. I use Roon at home, and Tidal. The WiiM Home App works mostly intuitively, although there are a lot of features and capabilities that might be important to those who like to play with their food rather than just eat it. There are a lot of ways to use this streamer, including as a simple streamer into a DAC of your choice if you don't like the built-in upgraded AKC DAC that is the "Plus" part of the WiiM Pro Plus package. At the moment this is not "Roon-Ready" but the previous experience with the WiiM Pro model suggests that it should become RAAT certified in a couple months or so. The WiiM shows up on my Roon app as a Squeezebox Lite unit, which is better-sounding than Chromecast or Airplay. I've tried mine with 3 different control maps: 1) the WiiM App, which you need to run at least occasionally to keep track of over-the-air updates (I've had 3 so far and I've had it less than a week). 2) Tidal Connect let's you cast your phone Tidal through the WiiM where it will connect to your account and run the highest bit-rate supported, depending on what your Tidal plan supports. I'm using the top plan and the high-res + MQA sound quality is best so far. 3) You can run it as a Roon end point player, although not yet certified. When it does get certified, that is likely to be the best-sounding option, giving you the most control of your music. The WiiM app purportedly lets you play your own music if you have it online in your network someplace. I tried linking one of my music folders and it kinda worked, but got very draggy and slow. It's like teaching a dog to dance... it's amazing it can do that, much less do it well. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase, the great development team behind it and the terrific value it represents in terms of sound quality and capabilities at this price point. Highly recommended.
