I run my wiim mini as a Alexa shared speaker combo with my Echo Show. I'm limited to HD (CD) quality doing this because that is the max quality of the Echo Show BUT.. i get a great visual showing music playing and the lyrics (when available) from the show on a small device on my shelf. Note - you need to set up a Alexa group that includes both the WIIM Mini and the Echo Show to make this work. For someone that doesn't want a TV in my living room but wants a bit of cover art to display with music, this is a great setup. Thanks to John for turning me on to the WIIM Mini earlier this year. I love mine.

Thanks for the follow up, John. I put together two small systems for my niece and nephew utilizing a Wiim Mini as the streamer into a Schitt Modi+ DAC. I tested one of the systems beforehand and was very impressed. I have 4 Bluesound Nodes (various vintages) in the house and a Roon Nucleus/Linn Selekt for my main system, but will also be building a small headphone system around a Wiim Mini. I’m not sure the Wiim Pro adds much for me. Happy Holidays and keep up the good work.

OMG, the Wiim Pro is brilliant. Thank You John for doing this review! The app is strangely similar to the blueOS ver which makes it superbly easy to use. For the first time, streaming music actually sounds great. Even the blueOS NAD C700 does not sound as good as my current streaming set-up: Wiim Pro > Chord M Scaler > Chord Quetest > Willstenton R amp.

The level of software support and level of streaming source compatibility is quite impressive. My most negative experience with Chinese audio products has primarily been poor software quality and lack of updates to fix bugs or implement new features. For most consumers the usability factor often outweighs considerations for sound quality especially when it comes at a higher cost.

Naim Audio Connection - Thank you for this very interesting review. I'm relatively new to streaming and have been researching the addition of a streamer into my Chord Desktop DAC, Naim 52 preamp, Supercap and 135 mono blocks. Historically it was crucial to pay attention to every component in a system. Im sure this is still the case but was curious if the internal DAC won't be used in the streamer, how crucial then is it to go mid price point for a streamer to offer compatibility with the current amplification DAC set up. or in this case go for a budget streamer as a front end control component with the focus quality wise on the DAC amps, speakers, cables etc. Thank you John for a very informative and professional site / channel.

@stevekean8254 Жыл бұрын

Gave this a shot as a streamer only in my mid tier system (around $2k-$3k per component) against an original Orchard Audio PecanPi, Allo Signature Raspberry Pi with Allo Shanti power supply, and an original Bluesound Node. With its stock wall wort the Wiim Pro came in 4th sounding more constrained and congested than the others and I wouldn't recommend it for any level system other than very low end non-critical listening systems. However, add the Allo Shanti power supply and it vaults right to the top equaling the Allo Signature with Shanti. For around $350 it's definitely a value keeper in that configuration.

Hello, I love your videos, very informative and honest; thanks! I have a couple of questions about the Wiim Pro: 1. is it fully compatible with Apple Music? 2. If it is, and I am using Apple Music in Hi-Resolution to transmit from the Wiim to an external DAC (via toslink), will it pass the signal at 176/24?, I mean, does it respect the resolution?

@richardruskin3571 Жыл бұрын

Regarding the latency problem you experienced using a tv as a source, many tvs have a "lip sync" or delay setting in the audio menu. On another thought, Ive been in the AV business for over 40 years and have an older analog based Linn system. I tried a Node and was not happy with the OS. I'm intrigued by the WIIM pro. I am currently not streaming and am thinking of using one of these, based on your review. While at some point I will need a "real" DAC, I'm currently not interested in spending a lot, as I've been disappointed by the sound quality of most so called "Hi Res" music. Love your channel from the US,, Cheers

On the remote, originally it was confusing as to if the remote would come with the WiiM Pro. On the WiiM website, forums, they clarify "the remote will be released in late Dec as the separate listing. We'll have two SKUs for Pro (with or without remote)." Hopefully, for us early adopters that purchased the pro now, there won't be a cost penalty to purchase the remote when released. On latency, if you are watching KZfaq on a fireCube using the WiiM Pro for sound, I will check when my WiiM Pro arrives, I think you can adjust to sync sound and video on the FireCube.

Regarding being bit-perfect... it simply depends what someone means by being bit-perfect. If it's about no source resampling up to the resolution set on the digital output then yes, both are bit-perfect. If it's about being able to transfer decoded source stream to the DAC without any data alteration / corruption / being bit-2-bit equal to the source, answer is - rather not, possibly yes, depends on DAC possibilities.

@danwalkley304 6 ай бұрын

i purchased the Pro last week, i saw somewhere that it would decode DSD, up to 512, it doesn't, i don`t know if this is something they changed before production.. another reason was that i wanted the casting facility, so i could stream KZfaq audio whilst watching a video, however, whatever i try in sync settings, the lip sync is miles out. also, the voice commands on the remote doesn't seem to work, after pressing the button and saying a command, the LED on the main unit just flashes red. other than that, i am quite pleased with the little thing!

It seems all but clear that DAC function on WIIM Streamers is subpar. I want to leverage Tidal Connect in WiiM Pro but I'm wondering what budget DAC should I pair it to. I've got 2 options (1. Loxjie D30; 2. Topping E50). I've read good things from those 2 and the price point is no my target budget. The thing is. Would both DACs serve for the same purpose, that is, Stream Tidal to WiiM then unfold and render on the DAC of choice? Or do I need to setup Wiim to at least Decode and output through Coax/Optical and then Render on the DAC of choice? Also, I'm not sure if E50 decodes from Coax/Optical, seems only does it on USB Input (WiiM do not have USB Output though). Loxjie D30 is supposed to Decode from Coax/Optical/USB Appreciate your comments!

Hey John, great video with good remarks towards us watchers/subscribers. Now, I’ve only “discovered you” this year, so I haven’t watched all of you videos since you’ve started (and I can imagine very well that I’m not the only one). I’m mentioning this because with regards to the “what fits as a “something of a year whatnot”, perhaps an explanation on your reviewing process could help with why you review the products you do. Obviously, you can’t review everything, and seeing as you need to take things more slowly you really shouldn’t, but perhaps sharing why the Wiim products were reviewed but “random other 2022 product” didn’t? Also, as to pointing us to the description box, two points: I think more and more of us are watching KZfaq on their TVs directly. There, the description box is nearly impossible to access, let alone read. That could explain why we don’t read it. And secondly, we (as simple human users of an interface) need a reason to perform an action, such as open up the description box. Although, yes, you do mention “more info in box below”, our simple monkey brains don’t automatically assume that ALL info of what is on screen (or beyond) will be in the description. When reviewing the Wiim, for example, I can assume most of us are expecting something like a link to Wiim product info or perhaps some specs in the description box, not information on a door stopper. Working in product management, we have to assume that our users think simpler than we initially expect them too, and often have to make things overtly obvious and we explicit before they understand. Just my thoughts though. Love the channel, great reviews, explanations and everything. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏👏

@stumied1588 Жыл бұрын

If this gets Roon Ready, I will question the value of my Bluesound Nodes. If they get RR, will try it for sure.

We're planning to have a Roon Ready beta version ready by end of Dec and be Roon Ready by Q1.

Simply state favorite this year and show what it was assessed against. People don’t care what year something was released, they just want to know what products to buy / avoid

Maybe I mist something… but if there is a coax out… is it the best way to use Apple Music from iPad (or phone) and have the 24/192 send to my better DAC?

Do you still have the audio sync issue when connecting toslink from the TV? Was it rectified by way of updates? I am considering ordering the wiim pro plus. Would help if you could comment on that…

And there's a reply from douggraham2700 6 months ago saying a firmware update sorted the problem.

Hi John. Big fan here. I’d just like to help you clarify why me (and maybe lots of us) don’t sometimes see the “description box below” is because I watch ALL of your videos on my TV where I cannot access said box. Again, thanks for your continued insightful, quality hard work (a hard work I could only wish for).

Sure. I get that. But did you write the above comment on your TV?

@youtiagopinto Жыл бұрын

Haha, no. I like your sarcasm, as usual. Just trying to help.

John, what is your go-to system? Your personal stereo system?

I think a lot of us miss your links in the description because we happen to be watching on android TVs.

Or RokuTVs or AppleTV, etc. KZfaq’s interface for TVs suck, although if you watch on a TV and connect with a tablet, it does give you the option to sync the two, allowing for seeing the collateral content. I wish KZfaq would allow for a Pinning of a video that is watched on a television platform, for content purposes. Sorta like saving a video, but instead, saving the collateral content. Almost like a reading list, if that makes sense?

Which brings up an idea. What if you flashed a qr code at the beginning or ending, or when you mention collateral content. That qr code could link back to the video, or to a web page that has all of the content. It is a bit of a workaround, but would allow and also prompt people to view the content alongside of your primary video content. Again, just an idea. I recognize the extra effort to do what I am talking about and maybe that is more trouble than it is worth. Just wanted to throw out the idea, though.
