WiiMPro 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

This streamer is just what I needed. In my office I have an Onkyo receiver with a pair of speakers and a subwoofer that I listen to music with from my NAS device. The problem is, Onkyo doesn't support gapless playback! So I tried using my Roku device with their music streaming app, but the problem with Roku is that they cut off several seconds at the beginning of every song (grrrr).The Wiim Pro does exactly what I needed it to do. It streams 24 bit 192kHz playback and offers true gapless streaming. I opted for the Pro version instead of the Pro Plus version because I use the optical out connection on the Wiim. Choosing this output uses the DAC on my Onkyo, which is a TI Burr-Brown. The sound quality is absolutely phenomenal. If I had chosen the RCA jacks as my output to my receiver, it would of used the DAC in the Wiim.The setup was easy and straight forward using the Wiim Home app. It walks you through the entire setup process. For me it's just connecting the USB-C power cable and TOSLINK fiber optic cable. That's it. If you need to, it would be easy to connect a CD player or turntable to either the RCA inputs or the digital (fiber) input on the Wiim. You can use the hard wired network connection or Wi-Fi (I chose the Wi-Fi connection). You could also use the 12V trigger output if your amplifier has a trigger input. Since with either the Wiim Pro or Pro Plus you will need to use the app to interface to your NAS or streaming service, I didn't really think it was worth the extra money to get the Pro Plus which comes with the remote control (and a better DAC).The app itself looks and works great. It's easy to see your NAS music and add songs to your queue or play whole albums. You can also set favorites. On the playback page, it also shows you the quality of the file being played back, which is a nice feature. Navigation is easy and intuitive, and I set up a tablet to serve as my Wiim player interface. It's a good size, easy to read and frees up my phone for phone stuff. That's one of the biggest benefits to these players, the versatility they offer for controlling them. If you like a different app to stream music with, no problem, you don't have to use the Wiim app. In addition to NAS streaming, you also have the benefit of having all your streaming services on the infrastructure. Pretty much any streaming app you like to use is already in there. This is hands down one of the best purchases I've made in a while, and I finally get to enjoy high quality music through my Onkyo's DAC while enjoying gapless playback!

I was looking for a high-fidelity streamer that was not too expensive and did not need a separate DAC. Based on many reviews, I decided on this one. It has not disappointed me. I’m using it with a vintage setup, and it has really improved my system’s functionality. Using Amazon Music, which streams at a high bitrate, it sounds as good as a CD and better than other streamers I have heard at over twice the price. I strongly recommend this streamer. The app is very easy to use, the connection has been stable, and the sound is great. It’s a great value.

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!!
