Very good for the price……my story…..

I consider myself to be an audiophile, well at least a reasonable one. Yes I have some expensive equipment but when it came to outfitting my garage, I needed to take a different approach. So I started with the online reviews. The WiiM amp got mixed reviews from the audiophile sect. But wait a minute, this only sets you back $300 not thousands. So shouldn’t it be judged based on its cost benefit? I say yes. Therefore I give this device a full five stars. I think its performance is dam good. Pairing with the right speakers is key. It does many things very well. Great sonics, clarity, adequate power, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, a really good App, and a solid build. Another feature is its remote, and the number of music streams it supports. I think I love this compact amp. So now, what speakers? I chose Polk Atrium 6 and it was a match made in heaven for my two bay garage. Not to say that this amp won’t satisfy the indoor audio needs of most. Be careful in selecting you speakers. Look for a high sensitivity in the speakers performance specifications. You will get the most out of the amps power. So I started this journey today and will update as time goes on. Right now, I give the WiiM amp a high recommendation for its price point. It is musical, compact, well made, ample connectivity, and won’t break the bank.Ver más

Versatile and affordable. Excellent in small and midsize rooms. A great Chromecast solution.

I have been circling around this Wiim Amp for months now after reading comments all over the Internet. I've been making do with a Google TV + Chromecast dongle plugged into a Yamaha AV Receiver. My extensive digital music collection can be served up by Plex or SqueezeServer/Lyrion. And I stream dynamic playlists I created for a variety of moods and listening circumstances. But the Google dongle randomly stops playing when fed music streams. Annoying! I also wanted a more "lightweight" audio center at my desk. Then the Wiim Amp made more and more sense. From my PC, I have plugged an audio mini to RCA cable into the Wiim Amp. The Wiim Amp quickly "announced" itself to Google Home. I have been streaming music-- uninterrupted-- via Chromecast/Google Cast! How about the audio? I am not playing heavy metal. But I commonly listen to Jazz, Classical, Old School Soul, Classic Rock; Folk. For test purposes, I just put on a Debussy symphony. The dynamic range is impressive. I am pleased with the clarity and openness. That's been true for that symphony and Miles Davis. And Hendrix.A few tips if you're considering the Wiim Amp:1) Get yourself a self-powered subwoofer. This will not only provide the low end of the music spectrum. It will also offload a lot of output power from the Wiim Amp, lending more ooomph to the rest of the audible range through your speakers. So you can get more dynamic range and/or possibly get somewhat more power hungry speakers. The subwoofer doesn't have to be terribly fancy. Mine is a Monoprice 8248 with 8" driver. I got it on sale but even at the list price it ably does the job. (The Polk PSW10 is quite good for just a bit more.)2) Be realistic about the speakers you harness to this amp. I'm using discontinued JBL Loft30 mini bookshelf speakers that punch way over their weight class. There are many others that can work as well.3) Don't expect this to rock out at high volumes into large rooms. You might skate past the ceiling imposed by 60 watts @ 8 ohms. (But if you happen to find 4 ohm speakers, the lower impedence will enable higher output from this amp.)4) The Wiim amp recognizes all the major music streaming services. So you don't have to build a massive in-home music library.Important notes:1) This does not have a headphone jack. But you can plug in a very low priced USB-based dongle headphone amp.2) This does not have a phono pre-amp. So if you're a vinyl freak, this might push you over the line. If I were in that position, I'd probably consider other equipment rather than getting a separate phono preamp.Bottom line: it's possible to put together a very satisfying system without breaking the bank. Heck-- get the subwoofer later if you have a more modest budget to start with.Ver más

Not disappointed! Love it!

I think all the hype surrounding this device is warranted. About me: I have a home theater system in the basement man cave and a basic soundbar on the family room tv above the fireplace. However, our house is wired for speakers in the family room and living room (my home office). I bought a Wiim mini when it was first released and a fosi/douk amp to power a set of speakers in my office and a switch to also play in the living room. The Wiim mini was quite impressive. It received so many updates and was always rock solid. The app works well, integration with other Android apps - like spotify, tidal, etc. is pretty great.The Douk amp was simply junk and squeals all the time at 10-15khz (like having tinnitus) but I loved the Wiim mini, so I splurged on the Wiim Amp. Same app experience, all of the benefits of the mini but the sound quality, build, and design is so much better than the douk. Plus I never need to go turn on a the amp. Wiim amp sits at a low power state and will auto sense inputs and power on automatically. I'm not an audiophile, just love music. Driving a set of RP500mII bookshelf speakers and a powered subwoofer. To my ears, it sounds as good as my much more expensive receiver. I'm really happy because it's a streamer and an amp at a pretty good price.The Wiim mini will still have have it's place. What I can do is use the Wiim amp and Wiim mini together to easily create 2 zones. I can simply select the room I want the music to play via the app or home automation.Most of the inputs are covered. Hdmi, optical, rca. No coax. One thing I did not realize is that the usb port is NOT for a DAC, so you cannot connect this to a pc or mac via usb and use as a DAC. The usb port is for a usb drive with music/audio files. I already have a desktop dac, so not a big deal. I also have a NAS with my personal music collection and it's easily integrated with the Wiim app. You can also play from a PC to this device via Chromecast.The only real issue I've experienced is playback trouble with Audible. However, there was an update that fixed it. Another shortcoming is that I'd like a line out. You can play through speakers directly connected to the amp or connect to another device, like headphones, via Bluetooth.There is only a subwoofer out. Adjustable crossover makes it really nice to set up. One issue I found is that it does not auto power on my subwoofer. I think because there is no initial "pop" when you power on. Very minor, only applies at low listening volume.With the HDMI input, I can use this with my TV, but it would need to pass through a video signal and have another hdmi port to use with my computer and monitor.It does come with a voice remote that is easy to set up. Adding your 4 favorite stations is critical, then you really won't need to open the app- just power on and start those streams instantly.Overall, I'm really happy and use it daily. My friends ask about it and are generally impressed with the size, build, and sound quality. Great purchase and I'd recommend to anyone who wants a simple streaming setup. Best audio purchase I've made in a long time.

Cheaper than Sonos and just as good.

This little amplifier works great. I bought it to replace my Sonos port. The Sonos used to work great as well but for some reason it starting playing low on one outdoor speaker. The constant upgrade and changes from Sonos 1 to Sonos 2 apps was frustrating and didn't work on one setup vs another( sonos play vs sonos port). Iwas going to just buy a new Sonos and redo the setup but decided on this product. System outdoors sounds great again for less than half the price of another Sonos. Only issues with the amp is that you have to do some work arounds to connect a NAS, play Sirius XM or Itunes. They all work once you get them figured out, bluetooth, airplay, static IP. Just do an internet search you'll find it. If they fix that in the ap I would give them 5 stars.Ver más

Incredible compact streaming power amp!

Very attractive and unobtrusive design. It's very easy to set up, though pairing the unit to my phone took a few tries. The WiiM app is required to provide the best control of the amp, especially for streaming from one's phone. Multiple EQ presets are provided in the app, and the EQ settings can also be customized. Connection to a smart TV via the provided HDMI eARC cable provides high-quality audio and allows control of the amp with the TV remote. An optical cable is also provided. A subwoofer output is provided.Audio quality is outstanding, with great channel separation and 60 watts per channel, which is more than adequate for most rooms or speaker pairs.An amazing little unit, great for almost any installation!Ver más

Second Wiim product. I’m all in!

I started with the Wiim Mini, and liked it so much I decided to move up to this amp and purchase some passive bookshelf speakers to use with it. If you already own a Wiim product, you know that the app is an outstanding experience. That was one of the main reasons I wanted to stay in this ecosystem and buy from Wiim.This amp easily drives my new Micca bookshelf speakers that are 100W and 8 ohm. They sound great and because of the Wiim amp I even have additional control over how they sound.I like that this amp has a small footprint so it doesn’t take up much space, and even the LED light on the front panel is adjustable through the app. Considering some of the other amps I was looking at, this is a great value for the price. It’s a bonus that I can control it from any room in the house, and from multiple mobile devices. I also like the remote that it came with, but I don’t find myself using that much.Ver más

WiiM Amp Packs a Punch!

BLUF: The WiiM Amp is a great music streamer and two-channel audio amplifier. Get one, you won't regret it.[Update 7/1/24: The WiiM Amplifier (also WiiM Pro Plus and the soon to be released WiiM Ultra Preamplifier) now support WiiM's room correction. (No, the WiiM Mini does not support room correction at this time.) I do not know if the WiiM Pro (non-Plus) music streaming device supports the WiiM room correction. I only own WiiM Amplifier(s), WiiM Pro Plus and WiiM Mini music streaming devices that I purchased on Amazon.If there was still any doubt that the WiiM Amplifier and the other WiiM music streaming products sold on Amazon are the best value in audio (perhaps ever) then the WiiM room correction should convince.The WiiM room correction works with the WiiM Home app and the microphone in your smart phone. In less than a minute the WiiM Home app and supported WiiM streaming device will analyze the in-room frequency response of your speakers including a subwoofer if present in your system. The WiiM room correction creates a custom 10 band parametric equalizer response curve that you can name and save or just use the default name "Auto". The results of using the WiiM room correction with my system(s) have been impressive.LPT: You can temporarily connect a WiiM Pro Plus to any 2 channel or 2.1 channel audio system where you normally have a WiiM Mini. Then perform the WiiM room correction and save the room EQ settings. You can later write down or screenshot the room correction EQ values and manually apply the room EQ settings to the WiiM Mini at a later time. Unless you rearrange your room, change the speakers or your preferred listening position you should not need to re-run the room correction.]Tips:You can set the maximum volume level using the WiiM Home app. Use the WiiM Home app volume slider control or the WiiM Remote to control the volume. When I set the WiiM Amp's maximum volume level to ~80% the acoustic level in my home from various 4 ohm to 8 ohm speakers (ranging from ~82dB to 90dB rated efficiency) gets as loud as I want and can stand.If you are concerned that the WiiM Amp may not have sufficient power for your application then adding a powered subwoofer will make the most of the WiiM Amp's power (60 Watts per channel (WPC) into 8 ohms and 120 WPC into 4 ohms), available for the two main speakers. (I also tested the WiiM Amp's subwoofer output using the new RSL Speedwoofer 10E.)When using a turntable with the WiiM Amp you must use an external phono stage preamp as the WiiM Amp does not have a built-in phono stage. (You may want to use a phono preamp that has selectable gain or continuously variable gain to ensure an acceptable audio level when using the WiiM Amp with the turntable.)The WiiM Amp does not have a headphone output jack. I was able to successfully pair my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones with the WiiM Amp.If you experience poor Wi-Fi reception when using the WiiM Amp try moving the Wiim Amp closer to your router. (I found that rotating the WiiM Amp chassis 90 degrees also helped improve the Wi-Fi connection.) The WiiM Amp also has an Ethernet connection.Using the WiiM Amp it is possible to assemble a very satisfying and enjoyable digital streaming audio system for under $1K (WiiM Amp ($300) + Bookshelf Speakers (up to ~400/pr) + Powered Subwoofer (est. $300). You can add a CD player and/or a turntable if desired.Great:The WiiM Amp is capable of providing deep, well articulated bass. The WiiM Amp has very good dynamics, i.e. punchy even. The sound of the WiiM Amp is neutral. The WiiM Amp provides a wide soundstage.The WiiM Amp's single (mono) RCA subwoofer output connection together with the WiiM Home app's bass management functions makes pairing the WiiM Amp with a powered subwoofer super easy. The WiiM Amp automatically applies low and high pass filters when the subwoofer output is enabled.The WiiM Amp was able to effectively power every 4 to 8 ohm loudspeaker I tried quite well. I even tried driving a pair of Magnepan MG1 magneplanar loudspeakers (82dB efficiency). The WiiM Amp was able to cleanly drive each of these speakers as loud as I desired.)No audible noise or hum in either of my two WiiM Amps (I purchased a Metallic Grey and then purchased a Silver WiiM Amp.)The WiiM Amp runs cool. Even after a few hours of listening at moderately high level output the WiiM Amp chassis was barely warm to the touch.The WiiM Home app has both graphic and parametric equalizer functions. If you spend a little time learning how to master these controls you will probably be able to get the audio balance you desire.Not so great:Shipping Damage: I had purchased my first WiiM Amp, in Metallic Grey, from another online retailer. The package containing the Metallic Grey WiiM Amp was unopened and undamaged as received.I recently purchased the Silver WiiM Amp from Amazon. Although not sold as being refurbished the Silver WiiM Amp included the WiiM manufacturer's ten percent discount. One corner of the box for the Silver WiiM Amp arrived dented. The box also appeared to have been opened. However, all cables, booklet, remote and accessories were provided. The Silver WiiM Amp unit came wrapped in the factory plastic protective layer and appeared new and undamaged.Wi-Fi Performance: 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi reception is just OK, could be better. (This makes me wonder where WiiM located the internal Wi-Fi antenna in the WiiM Amp as the top and 3 sides of the WiiM Amp's case are made of an aluminum alloy.) I can't comment on 5GHz Wi-Fi performance. When I moved the WiiM Amp to another room in my home (further away from the router) the WiiM Amp would sometimes stutter or mute the audio. Rotating the WiiM Amp by 90 degrees (so that the rear of the WiiM Amp was now facing the router) seemed to improve the Wi-Fi reception.WiiM Amp Audio Performance: After auditioning the WiiM Amp with four different sets of wired speakers I found that the WiiM Amp does not provide as sharp and detailed imaging as do some other amplifiers I own. With each of the loudspeakers I tried (4 ohm, 5 ohm, 8 ohm; 2-way, 3-way, 2-way planar magnetic) the WiiM Amp's imaging lacked focus. Still, this did not take away from my enjoyment when listening to favorite selections using the WiiM Amp.Lagged WiiM Home phone app Performance: The WiiM Home phone app is sometimes lagged, i.e. when accessing the Audio Setting of the WiiM Amp. (I'm not sure if this is an app software issue or related to the limitations of the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi performance.)Lagged Remote Control Response: The WiiM Remote Control uses Bluetooth. The WiiM remote control of the WiiM Amp volume, etc. is sometimes lagged.USB Confusion: The WiiM Home App recognized the thumb drive (containing some MP3 files) that I inserted into the WiiM Amp's USB port. I was able to play the MP3 files using the WiiM Amp by selecting USB as the source. I next tried adding additional files, both MP3 and MP4 format files to the thumb drive. The WiiM Amp and/or WiiM Home app never properly updated the thumb drive file cache and never displayed an updated playlist.WiiM Amp Remote batteries: The batteries (two AAA) are not included with the WiiM Amp. (Neither of the two WiiM Amps that I've recently purchased came with the needed batteries for the remote control.)[Update 6/3/24] I purchased a WiiM Mini to solve an issue I was having with the WiiM Amplifier. The WiiM Amp is a brilliant product in almost every respect. One notable exception is Wi-Fi connectivity. In my home the WiiM Amp only has acceptable Wi-Fi connectivity when the WiiM Amp is placed close, i.e. within the same room as my wireless router. To solve this issue, I use the WiiM Mini as a Wi-Fi music streamer.I connect the WiiM Mini to the WiiM Amp via the optical cable and this gets around my WiiM Amp Wi-Fi performance issues. (The optical connection is 24 bit, 192 kbps.) I stream Spotify Premium exclusively, I can't hear any difference when using the WiiM Amp with Wi-FI (placed close to the W-Fi router) or when using the WiiM Mini and the optical output from the WiiM Mini to the optical input of the WiiM Amp.Now I can locate WiiM Amps in different rooms in my home and not have Wi-Fi connectivity issues. This works for me. Maybe this solution will work for you if you are having WiiM Amp Wi-Fi issues.

Produkt nie jest bez wad, ale wsparcie produktowe to wynagradza.

Produkt nie jest bez wad, ale można je wybaczyć w tej cenie.Pojedyncza dioda Led oraz kropeczki od głośności to jedyne informacje poza aplikacją, które można odczytać z urządzenia, dioda led wskazuje na jakim kanale jesteśmy kolorami, które niestety nawet nie są unikalne, tzn. na zielono świeci się gdy jesteśmy w trybie optycznym albo RCA, dopiero w aplikacji można to sprawdzić.Pilot korzysta z WiFi, więc nie dość, że bateria trzyma bardzo krótko (CR2032) to jeszcze budzi to pewne obawy.U mnie gra z monitorami Q Acoustics 3020i i jest OK.Początkowo miałem problem z produktem, ale support ze strony Linkplay Technology Inc. stanął na wysokości zadania.Koniec końców kupiłbym ponownie.Ver más

Versatile Little Amp!

This little amplifier is "little" only in its Form Factor and has no business sounding so good being a Class D Power Amplifier. Has plenty of input possibilities and drives some large speakers without a hint of stress. The accompanying software (WiiM Home) is very user-friendly and quite powerful and most importantly for such devices it really works!! In the limited time that I have used it, I have discovered no bugs. Great value for the money!!Ver más

手頃な価格で音質と機能に満足

昔はDACやオーディオ機器というと高価なイメージがありましたが、今はこれだけの機能を手頃な価格で導入できることに驚きました。実際に使った音質にも大変満足しています。良かった点価格が抑えられているだけでなく、音質や機能もしっかりしています。アプリも分かりやすく、好みに合わせて音質を細かく調整できるところが便利です。個人的にはAirPlayを使って、iPhoneから簡単に音楽を飛ばせるところが特に気に入っています。気になった点本体に画面がないため、現在の入力や再生状態を本体だけで詳しく確認することはできません。細かな設定や音質調整は基本的にアプリを使うことになります。手頃な価格で音質、アプリの使いやすさ、ネットワーク再生までそろっており、導入してよかったと思える製品です。Ver más

Old stock with sealed sticker cut! Wow! Wow updated!

Seller sent out with the seal sticker opened and crumbly already! The model sent is also much older v5 version that was in circulation early 2024! We are now at v7 with revised high layer count pcb and better cooling. Thankfully all works well, for soundbar replacement is much more powerful and musical as it drives my spare ls50 effortlessly. Wiim home app is amazing , snappy and have all the options most audio nerds neededUpdate: linkplay seller contacted me to find out more and explanation given sounds reasonable that logistics storage is out of their control and so offered a small token as apology.I think this shows me they care about delivering lifestyle products without the lifestyle tax to their customers and value feedback. Updated my ratings as the unit itself works perfectlyVer más
