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

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!

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.

Updated: This dac can also upsample music to a maximum of 24 bit / 192khz per image when you go to settings, audio quality, and click on fixed resolution. Again, play around with turning this off and on as it can be helpful sometimes but may not always sound as good if the track has been mastered well, which is currently qualitative and there are no known quantitative ways to measure how well each track has been mastered. For example, some tidal cd quality tracks have been mastered so well they sound like 24 bit/192khz in a blind listening test! IMHO, upsampling to 24bit/192khz is the best upsampling method as using audirvana to upsample to DSD 11.2 can sound overly digital and sterile. Updated: While it’s a cool feature to have a room correction parameter eq I would play around with turning it on and off as I have found the parameter eq can make your music sound worse. Same with the graphic eq. Please find graphic eq settings attached for listening to rock and bass boost settings based off chatGPT. Again, sometimes the graphic eq can sound better and sometimes worse. Overall the wiim pro plus is a great streaming dac as it allows tidal connect which can stream 24 bit 192khz music (with tidal connect). AirPlay 2 is strictly limited to 48khz. The student version of tidal is affordable and is much better than apple music as apple music can’t stream as high as tidal connect. Updated: Was using this streaming dac for my outdoor Bose speakers, after weeks of use I enjoyed and loved everything about it but I recently connected it to my ELAC debut 2.0 home theater system to pilot it and am blown away by all of the detail and processing power this dac has!!! I didn’t notice the clarity and warmth while playing it outside but inside it’s a game changer. I know DACs can always be better with the more money you’re able to spend but this dac has it all!! Clean and Crisp sound, a bit on the warm side, tidal connect, room EQ, and the app works flawlessly!! I highly recommend this product and wish I could upgrade to the Ultra, although this dac checks off all the boxes and more! If you’re on the fence about the pro plus or the Ultra, I would save your money and go with the pro plus. How much better can it get🙂 This dac doesn’t come with the highest end dac chip but still sounds great for what I need it for! The app and remote is fantastic and performs flawlessly and I love how this supports Airplay 2!! This rare find is affordable and sounds great, you would have to spend a lot more money to notice a significant difference as the dac chip is good enough and up their with higher end AVRs. To me HEOS isn’t user friendly, even though my Denon AVR-X4500H has multiple zones to power my patio speakers my family hates HEOS. I bought the pro plus to use with airplay and stream music to my patio speakers. I have the RCA OUTS connected directly to my amplifier and it bypasses my entire Denon AVR. Love the ease of use. HEOS multi zone might be easy for me to figure out but my family wanted something easy to use and I wanted it to still sound good so the Wiim pro plus checks all the boxes. The Ultra is overkill for me and the Node is ridiculously expensive and comes with a finicky app. No thanks I'm good with this and highly recommend it. Got it for $185 on prime day **UPDATE** Just like the Ultra model the Pro Plus App now has room correction! In addition, Tidal connects with the astonishing Wiim app to play at higher resolutions than standard Airplay, 96khz for example. This streaming dac checks nearly every box!!

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.

Excelente receptor, una actualizacion en el firmware y en la aplicacion permite ajustar un ecualizador parametrico con el microfono del celular, despues de probar esta configuracionme encanto el sonido de mi sistema, lo tengo conectado a un amplificador de bulbos El34 y a unas KLIPSCH RP-600M
