This is my initial look at the WiiM Pro, what all you get with it, and how the app interacts with it.

Nice job! I was looking for an overview of the Wiim Pro to decide whether I wish to purchase one. I am currently using some Raspberry Pi's and a mini PC that are still quite special with their unique FREE operating systems such as Daphile, Volumio, and Moode Audio. However, the Wiim has other offerings that make it a great alternative and much easier to install and setup!

I love how you unbox it and go over it in a natural way. Thank you. Some people do it super fast and it gets hard to follow.

Just got one today. I like it, I use the ethernet connection to connect it to my router. I use the SPDIF out to my receiver. Really enjoying it. Didnt test the onboard DAC so can't comment on that. Works well with my Samsung Note and Amazon music.

Were you able to connect your TV via optical? And does your TV remote control the volume over optical?

is the optical output a digital output so that i can bypass the internal dac of the WiiM?

Great review! Can you connect 2 different devices with 1 wiim or does that require more than one (a pair of Klipsch fives to a Bose portable smart speaker)?

I am a KZread music subscriber and I Chromecast at 24 196 high res to my pro. Note also Soundcloud also verry good I have a descent system and with the Wiim pro's EQ and internal DAC the sound is already crisp though I must admit I have bought it as a first step to an external DAC.

Hey! Im a complete newbie in this hifi world and my question might be stupid, so sorry in advance. Does buying a wiim pro and connecting it via toslink to my nad c356bee's integrated dac make any sense? Do you think it would make a difference comparing to the tv as a source? Btw i believe nad c356bee has a really nice dac if you take in consideration its not an external dac. Thank you in advance.

I think everyone 🤔 should do the lossless/loussy audio test ... I certainly can't tell the difference at 47 years old. I am adding a streamer like this, and that was a good review. You should of shown what your dac was saying to confirm the 16bit. Enjoy 😉

Just an update now having used a while… it’s okay. It’s worth the $200, but I’m not going to say it’s as refund as a “real” streamer like the Bluesound Node, or something from a more reputable manufacturer. I’ve had to manually unplug and plug in a few times now because it was not showing up. Twice was after updates. Also if you plan to use the Wiim app to play your network files, it’s not very good. You’re better off to Google cast from another app like Plexamp, but then you loose gapless playback. I primarily use this for my flac library and don’t have experience using tidal or others with it. Also I’d recommend an external dac, so I’m not sure you’re saving money at that point. It works pretty well, but don’t buy into hype it’s a magic product.
