WiiM's Pro Plus DOES IT ALL: Spotify, Tidal, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Roon & Squeezebox

Just want to give the editor kudos for using "purposeful pauses" in the video to give the viewer a moment to digest. Also the content was awesome as per usual!

First; thanks John for your continuous good quality reviews and videos. Second; sound quality. To anyone considering getting the WiiM Pro Plus and can live without a few features, don't mind two separate boxes (which are actually smaller in footprint) and compares in price, I would strongly suggest buying the WiiM Mini instead and pair it with a Topping E30 II. From a pure sound quality perspective, I find this setup way better than the WiiM Pro Plus, which sounds very thin and flat in comparison. With the WiiM Mini, you will still have the great pleasure to navigate your listening experience with the WiiM Home app. If you want a all-in-one streaming dac, I guess you might be able to play around with the EQ settings as suggested but it will have it's limits. With that said, I don't think one can stress enough how great the WiiM Home app is, especially to this price, and I definitely recommend everyone to try it out. But, in my opinion, do it with a WiiM Mini and external dac. Anyway, I hope this comment finds someone and help you navigate through the audio equipment jungle. Good luck!

I really appreciate the multiple comparisons! Informative, clear and relevant. Your extra effort is awesome in this review.

Thank you John for your hard work. Appreciate it ! You have simplified what we could not have otherwise done.

Very much appreciated this video from you! Excellent job and very informative

Really useful and very thorough set on comparisons, now I just need to book at session to listen to the WiiM Pro plus v Cambridge audio and make a decision! Cheers

Just got mine setup last weekend, boy am I content <3. It sounds great, it’s so easy to use, there’s so many brilliant and thoughtful features included, and it seems like the developer is interested in continuing development, which… boy is that a big plus in 2023. So happy that this product exists now.

Nice video, thanks John! FWIW, based on your previous review of the WiiM Pro (non-plus) I had purchased it early this year. The DAC was never an issue for me, as I connect the WiiM directly to digital active speakers via SPDIF. I'm really happy with the device, no regrets yet.

Brilliant video! Intelligent , informative AND hugely entertaining. Thank you! 🐻

I used a wiim mini as a dac / pre amp and streamer into my power amp / speakers combo that cost £70k and the wiim did an admirable job . This set up was necessary because my main dac (dCS ) was back at the factory . The wiim UI was also much better than dCS mosaic . The wiim team are to be applauded.

Best video comparison.Apreciate your hard work.

I loved the excitement in his voice every time a new ‘Side by Side Comparison!’ was announced.

Thanks for all the comparisons. It really helps flesh out the use case scenarios for this device compared to others, especially knowing it has a better clock circuit and that TI op-amp. And thanks for the albums shown in the video. I always find something new (or old) to listen to. I think I could buy the WiiM Pro Plus and be very happy with it at your 6/10 rating for a long time, then buy a better R2R DAC later on, like a Denafrips Ares 12th or Gustard R26 and call it a day in my system. I have 3 of the WiiM Mini streamer/DACs scattered about my home with external DACs (various versions of the Schiit Modi) and love their user interface and love how responsive the company, Linkplay, have been to customer "wishlists" and fixing bugs. More companies should look into that kind of customer service and device support. It is noticed by consumers.

Another excellent video! Thanks so much for the comparisons and all your passion.

Very thorough and informative video. Appreciate the scoring you've implemented it makes it easier to digest your thoughts. Cheers!

Yep. Sent my remote back too. Tried everything. But, for the money and customer service, WiiM is killing it. Great info! Thanx!

Hi Darko, I hope that you already know this: You are truly a music lover and you found a way to share your passion and help us discover so many songs. The fact that you combine it so well with all the limitations of youtube is the proof of your resolve. I like listening to your video with my subwoofer at +6db on my really good speakers just to ear all the production value that you put together. And the aesthetics of hifi gear *chef's kiss* Keep up the passion and the awesome work!

Many many thanks for this comparison vid. Very helpful. Brings things in perspective. 😊👍👍👍

Excellent. Side by side is essential. I put my Mojo 2 with Bluesound Node and it sounds so good, so really helpful to know your scoring.

I've just ordered a wiim pro on the back of this video. I've been using squeezbox basically since it's inception and have many radios, booms and pi devices with hifiberry DACs running my ceiling speakers and hifi. I've also installed some pis in some commercial buildings but I'm hoping the wiim might be the answer to my next streamers outside of Sonos. Great videos. Thanks. Looking forward to having a play with them all.
