NOTES
*1 COMPARISONS OF UNREVIEWED GEAR : Please don't ask me how a product compares to another which I haven't reviewed, as it isn't possible to comment on such products I haven't tested. Check out my website for reviews of products I have completed instead (hit the review tag, and separate tags).
*2 MORE ADVICE : If you are asking me how does X product compare to Y that I HAVE reviewed, or how does something sound beyond comment in videos, or system / further advice, please sign up to Patreon (small amounts!) or make contributions via PayPal where we text chat or Zoom etc. I can't answer all questions free on KZfaq! I only charge £25 for an hour consultation on Zoom of all my experiences, which is cheaper than many.
*3 ABUSE POLICY : I encourage and like debate, and constructive criticism, but people who abuse or troll me, or my subscribers or commenters, post very negative and non constructive and uncorroborated comments designed to put me or others down (where they don't explain themselves), or they could be perceived as such, as well as aggressive comments / hate, or pit my subscribers against me, get their comments removed and I hide them from commenting again. I don’t need the hassle of these people for all the work I put in! Again I don’t mind people who disagree with me, where they explain, or indeed debate, but I tend to delete comments that are not substantiated where the poster doesn’t explain themselves e.g just ‘this amp is really bad’ as it doesn't add to the discussion and detracts from my efforts

I have owned 2 WiiM Pro for some time now, been using them daily almost and I really did learn new stuff while viewing your video: thanks for that!

Nice to see this, I enjoy seeing how interfaces change. After all, those make a difference to usability.

The PEQ could probably be it’s own video. That is something that Bluesound and others don’t offer.

Great Review! I actually was looking for an app/feature review of this streamer, so helpfull to know that there is a line input auto detect for both optical and analog sources!

@michaelwright1602 7 ай бұрын

I have owned a few streamers, and for $150 or $200, the WiiM Pro and or Pro + are on another level, no thanks to the incredibly solid built in EQ and PEQ that is so easily accessible from every track being played. Pair a WiiM Pro to a solid DAC, pick your flavor, and you have yourself an inexpensive Audiophile experience that few can match under $5000. Just add a linear power supply, and save your money for better speakers.

Thx for reviewing the Wiim software Simon. I've been using the Wiim mini now for a few years as a transport only into my Rega DAC/Naim amp. It's a great little piece of kit and a bargain for 90quid! Keep up the great channel Cheers Chris

Quick question and thanks for another excellent video. I’m minded to have a headphone system McIntosh 200 amp wim pro and qutest. Any thought?

@georgelai8748 Ай бұрын

Best video on Wiim so far because as you said, others don’t really talk about the app. I have one question. Can I search for an internet station within the app? Thanks.

@ltmund Ай бұрын

For NAS im currently using Emby. Their app is just nicer to use imo. You can set DNLA to control the WIIM

Hi Simon. Can you please do a video on power supply upgrades for the Wiim server? Thanks

@marioplus321 7 ай бұрын

If you have a playlist set as favourite, next time you play it back does it start when it stopped,or it begins playing from the 1st song on the list?

@JMC1992 2 ай бұрын

How would one play songs from Bandcamp mobile app, using the WiiM Pro Plus software with EQ? The idea of the WiiM EQ working to improve the sound from integrated amps nowadays is nice, but I have the impression that no matter what product I try, I won't get what I want unless I use my desktop computer into my amp. I currently have the this problem with Bluesound using my mobile phone and it seems no product out there solves the problem simply.

@winterwarz07 7 ай бұрын

I would like to have a larger and separate interface than my personal mobile device. Is a windows laptop viable using a virtual android instance? If not, do chromebooks work? If not, I'll just get an android tablet. Thanks!

@dc99yt 4 ай бұрын

It would be nice if Wiim Pro supports Apple Music natively, but Apple probably won’t license it to Wiim, if they do, no one would buy Apple’s own HomePod anymore.

Hi' Can you play the Sirius Xm service on the Wiim player?

@steviet6018 8 ай бұрын

Thanks Simon. Is it possible to output via optical and line out at the same time?

@13thnotehifireviews7 8 ай бұрын

Thanks too, I don’t think it is because of the output settings being one or other, and I never tried, but on wiim forum I bet someone will have tried.

@punkish7 6 ай бұрын

So when accessing a dnla server, we get no album art? Just a simple list of albums, or artists, etc? It will look no different than the list I get from JRiver media player for example? I was hoping for more than that :( My squeezebox will give me a simple list, so it would seem I would not benefit much from the Wiim. Do appreciate your time putting this video together, very helpful!

Bubblepnp on Android gives a good experience using dlna; as I use iPhone I wasn’t happy with the dlna apps. LMS with UPNP plugin makes the wiim appear as a player with full artwork and artist info via material interface. I didn’t keep the mini as my network player also appears as a player on LMS.

Why do I play 24 bit on Qobuz but on the wiim app it still says 16 bit???

@dc99yt 4 ай бұрын

Hi Simon, I have a question: does the app display the playing music’s format, bit depth, and sampling rate?

@13thnotehifireviews7 4 ай бұрын

I’m not sure tbh, I haven’t used it for a while as I’ve had other gear plugged in. I’d recommend wiim forum.
