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

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.
