WiiM Pro Plus - Ten Interesting Points (Vs Node 2021 / Sonos Port / Argon Audio Solo)

I purchased the WiiM Pro Plus. Thank you for helping me make the decision! When using Spotify I noticed immediately greater dynamics, extended depth and more definition. Hope your channel succeeds! Always be honest and never sell out! I’m in the USA on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My system is a Adcom 400 pre-amp-tuner, two Adcom 535 amps bridged, KEF 120’s and a Project Turntable w/ Denon 103C MC cartridge and the WiiM Pro Plus.

I’ve just picked up a 1970 Sansui 1000x mint still in box 😅 I’m going to pair the Wiim Pro plus with it and Wharfedale Denton 80th anniversary speakers for my small lounge. Appreciate the video and your efforts Thanks

This was a really excellent review. One can add though for the friends of MQA digital protocol, that from these three streamers, only Bluesound has that feature installed. Keep up the good work!

Nice job. I’m using a sonos port, into an ifi ipure 2, which reclocks and isolates the signal, into a denafrips ares 2 dac. The reclocker actually made a significant difference (or I would have sent it back). My problem is it means (other than features) I can’t compare how other systems would do vs mine, unless I order one and plug it in to hear! I do have to admit that I’m a big fan of the sonos software experience, but I could be enticed by the wimp or blue, and just live with my main stereo as an island requiring its own app. I also need any streamer to handle Spotify, Idageo, and Qobuz without having to use airplay 2, since I’ve become aware that downsamples.

Great presentation thanks, treble resolution is a big part of my experience, WiiM PP bit of a Swiss army knife, just luv the functionality of the mini and the frequent software updates. Probably will pop for the WiiM PP, I feel you describe it as more robust, faster response with improved tonal quality. Bit of a bargain without the posh $ tag. :goodvibes:

Is it an appropriate HiFi solution to use EQ settings in the Bluesound or Wiim app? If I lower the bass, does it not affect the midrange and treble-behaviour? In other words, will adjusting EQ settings affect the sound signature of speakers?

Hello, In WiiM and in general, does the Coax Audio Output is SPDIF Coax? Thanks

thx!

Comparative testing. I LUV IT,, ❣🥰❣ Cheers and thank you Simon, Mr No1 HiFi reviewer,, 🍻🌟👍‍‍👍‍‍ You will have me on as a Patreon the 25,th.

I’m wondering if using a tablet/phone running Wiim or BluOs app as remote control, a second tablet (running Wiim or BluOs app as well) would be used as “now playing” screen

If i hardwire from my internet hub directly to my marantz amp, can i still operate it wireless from my qobuz app ? Amp and phone are on the same network. Or do i need a streamer inbetween ?

Thank you for your review! Like others, i’m building my system with your unbiased views. I’m currently running audiolab 7000a with lintons. I’m also using the wiim pro (non plus) as transport, utilising the inbuilt dac in the 7000a. I’ve been wondering does the streaming transport matter at all since digital is digital. Do you think its worth upgrading my streamer for an even better sound ? I’ve tried using my Lg tv as transport and embarassingly i could hardly tell the difference from the wiim pro (all digital).

Thanks again Simon for another cracking review! Much appreciated mate!

Good review sir. I have a question. I bought the Pro Plus. Am liking it a lot - even my wife can tell the difference. I am running the line out on the WiiM to RCA inputs on the A/V receiver. I tried hooking up my Audio Technica LP-120 to the line in on the WiiM. the turntable only has one output (RCA L&R). I switched the turntable to line instead of phono. I could not get any sound out of my speakers. Did I do something wrong or should this work? Thanks.

I'll keep this short and sweet - Fab-bu-lous video! 😊😊

My LG OLED55C9AUA TV is notorious for optical signal drops. My current SMSL D100 DAC allows for internal clock adjustments to compensate for this (DPLL). Will this WiiM Pro Plus DAC handle my television optical correctly?

As long as competitors of WiiM lack PEQ and the advantages that gives in room correction and sound quality they are simply out of the picture for me.

Simon, if you want to add Chromecast, AirPlay 2, and Tidal Connect to a Hegel H390 or H190, which device would you recommend? As well, if you add a device to accomplish this, will its DAC impact the SQ of the Hegel? Thanks for the great channel!

Hi Simon, Thanks for another great review. I bought a used Pro to replace an old heos streamer to see if I preferred the functionality, which I do. I'm running it into a Topping D70se and I'm now wondering if I were to use a pro plus would it show an improved performance over the pro owing to its superior clock?
