WiiM Pro Music Streamer to Upgrade Stereo with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect

Good

Does everything you need! Yes some of the test criteria of the DAC it is not high score, but if you cannot live without those, they come at 3x the price

Perfect 👌

Si vous avez comme moi plus de 80 ans faites vous aider par l’un de vos petits enfants. Cela vaut mieux. L’appareil est cependant livré avec une petite notice en français. Contrairement à son homologue Triangle qui est absolument ingérable et qui a été retourné et remboursé voici ce qu’il vous faut. Ici tout est parfait. L’application sur l’I phone est évidente et tout fonctionne merveilleusement bien. La connexion Bluetooth délivre un son clair avec des basses très musicales pour la musique classique et un son punchy pour les variétés a la mode.Bref c’est le bonheur. N’hésitez pas vous ne serez pas déçu.

WiiM PRO offers great connectivity and value to get your streaming content into existing audiophile systems. I considered the whole wim range, but opted for pro with my already high end dac

**UPDATE #2 (2025) - Still super happy with my WiiM Pro. So much so that I just purchased a WiiM Pro Plus to replace the original WiiM Pro, which I've just relocated to another room where it's plugged into a Fosi ZD3 via the Coax port. Reasons for getting a Pro Plus this time around is that I wanted the well-regarded AKM DAC, as it the Pro plugs directly into a 20+ year old Sony receiver via line-out. The regular Pro's lesser DAC is now taking an extended vacation as it's digital stream being decoded by the ESS 9038Q2M on the Fosi pre-amp. Will I hear a difference between the Pro and Pro Plus as channeled through the Sony? Probably not with any of my usual source material. But given that I'm still very happy with my original WiiM Pro after a full year using it to stream tunes (PC -> WiiM via Airplay2 (TuneBlade)) daily in my home office, I thought I'd give the Pro Plus with the AKM and included remote, a chance to impress me further. **UPDATE #1 (2024) So, one super cool feature that the manufacturer added to the Wiim is Room Correction. My Wiim had been boxed up for a few months during & after a move. First, I want to note that it was really easy to reconfigure it for my new home wireless network via the Wiim phone app WITHOUT having to RESET the Wiim itself. I just had to hold the 'play' button on the Wiim until it blinked while I was holding my phone nearby and then I was able to update the Wiim's wireless network info to get it back online. Room correction worked as expected, which is to say the same way it works on other home AV receivers I've owned/used. This is a really cool feature to be added to the Wiim for free as part of a free firmware update. Thank you, Wiim! I should also note that in the 14 months I've owned my Wiim, minus the 4 months it was stashed in a moving box, it's worked fantastically. I mostly use it to stream music via Airplay to a 22 year old Sony AV 5.1 receiver powering a small bookshelf speaker/subwoofer setup. I do occasionally use the built in media player and it works well too - no problems. Wiim updates apply seamlessly, and it's been 100% reliable. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone thinking about getting one. ORIGINAL REVIEW Got this to replace a Bluetooth receiver that I had plugged into my 20+ year old Sony STR-DE845 AV receiver. The BT receiver works great, but it has a couple limitations: 1 - One is that it when it's powered up, it automatically pairs with whichever device it was last paired with. Because I normally stream to it using an iPad, I can only stream using my iPhone if I go to the iPad and unpair it from the BT receiver, and then I have to the same thing with the phone when I want to use the iPad to stream again. I've been living with this for 4 years, so it's not unworkable, but that I have other streaming targets at home that don't require this has raised the bar a bit as far as my expectations go. 2 - The BT receiver supports AptX and LDAC over Bluetooth, but since I am only streaming from Apple wireless devices I can only do AAC over Bluetooth since Apple doesn't support AptX or LDAC (and probably never will). The quality of AAC over Bluetooth is pretty good, but it's not CD-level quality playback which is what you get with a WiFi streaming protocol like Apple Airplay. The ability to play CD quality music streams from my iPad or my iPhone was the main reason for my purchase, and the WiiM Pro does this perfectly as an Airplay 2 receiver. Also, re: Airplay I figure that the protocol spec & implementation for Airplay isn't likely to change (there may be enhancements, but the existing spec should remain the same), so Airplay should always be available for streaming music to the Sony receiver. And that brings me to another great feature of the WiiM Pro, which is its ability to act as a standalone network streamer with native support for several streaming music services including Amazon Music, which is what I use. Initially, I thought I might find the WiiM's software UI (as installed on my iPhone & iPad) to be less than polished, but so far the software seems to work well. The biggest advantage to using the native streaming apps on the WiiM is that the stream quality can be much higher than 'just' CD quality that Airplay 2 supports (16-bit/44.1kHz - Amazon Music HD supports up to 24-bit/96kHz for some tracks, IIRC). The WiiM Pro app seems to work fine for streaming Amazon Music, and the menu looks the same as the one I use for streaming Amazon Music to to some modern Yamaha AV receivers MusicMatch app. Overall, this seems like a good device. The only open question is whether and how well WiiM will support it with necessary fixes/updates when needed!

Muy contento con el dispositivo. Muy buena calidad sonora y fácil instalación. Estupendo con mi amplificador clase A

コレは音良し、使い方良し、コスパ良し。オーディオマニアはやたら高い商品を褒めますが、ウンチクはなるほどと思いますがそうなんでしょうか。安くて(失礼!)楽しいものがベストと思います。luxman大好きオヤジです。
