Mine just arrived, I am now running Flac audio via optical cables.

Wow.

Thanks Randy!

I forgot to use your link when I bought my Wiim Pro Streamer so here you go! Keep the videos coming!

I though the WiiM Mini and Pro couldn't get any better. I turned on multiroom audio today, within the Wiim app. It is flawless. Even switching music in rapid succession it sounds as if the 3 systems on 3 different floor were 6 speakers hard wired to a single receiver/streamer combo. I stood on the stairs, between floors to see if there was even the slightest out of sync issue. None, none, none, zero sync issues, zero delay. Thank you a thousand times for reviewing the Wiim on your channel.

[edverbeek]

Can you tell us something about the sound quality:
- WiFi compared to hard wired?
- wiim mini optical output compared to PRO optical output?
- inside DAC of the PRO compared to external DACs?
- digital coax output of the PRO compared to coax output of Bluesound Node (and/or other streamers)?

That would be very helpful for me making a choise.
Thanks, from the Netherlands

You might want to reconsider the Established Titles sponsorship

I'm happy with my LGV30, and I have new one as a back up.Very savoury with the T9, plugged into the unit, no bloody BT.

[RonRivet]

I knew exactly which song you were singing. Haha...
Just bought a Wiim pro and getting it today. Thanks for posting.

Finally! I pushed you about this a few months ago. Glad to have a WIIM streamer that is in a rectangular case with feet. And for some of us, "build quality" is ALWAYS important. Bravo !

[joncoward]

I bought one of these for my first try at streaming. I've been retired for 10 years and haven't kept up with tech - phones, computers, etc. I was concerned about successfully hooking it up. Actually found it pretty simple. Now playing spotify, amazon music, etc., power via a Yamaha AS700, speakers are JBL Studio 130's. Sounds good, easy to use - winner!

I bought a Wiim Mini when I set up my stereo earlier this year after seeing it on your channel, and honestly you would never need anything else for a simple stereo system. Super easy to use and plays great quality music. The only issue I had was on Tidal's end whenever the Wiim would update, but once Tidal fixed the app it's been smooth sailing. Absolutely recommend it.

[pmrribeiro]

Nice! :) You forgot to mention it uses the same DAC as the mini. Such a DAC would be expected in something at that price-point, but people may have other expectation for the Pro.

Thanks for brilliant review, I've got Roberts RS1 streamer which is good but it's only available streaming service is Spotify, it took me a while to setup mainly because I had it plugged into my home ethernet private network at home, once on WiFi it detected the unit and although it had a few problems updating firmware once completed works flawlessly.
I have this connected into an external DAC via USB or optical (SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK-II) I haven't done any tweaking yet as I've only just purchased but it's got a lot of features and the manufactures website and customer support is very good.
Thanks Cheapaudioman very informative and detailed reviews, the only problem I have is I keep selling old equipment and upgrading my headphone setup from your reviews.
Just don't tell my misses
🤣🤣🤣

Established Titles will go down as one of the biggest money scams on youtube, , @cheapauidioman I love your channel, , I hope you look into this soon, , Much Luv

Greeting. Thanks for the review. 2 years behind but that's the norm for living down under.
Purchased one this week after recommendation for dealer, assuring me it will be ok if I'm using an uprated dac. took it home, plugged in with the spdif to my Rotel 6000 & seriously, this thing sounds awesome even playing the low res free sportify.
Great value . cheers

[christopherhachet]

I added this. Amazed at how well it works.

[mbk]

So glad I didn't buy a second Mini for my basement setup. Now I can pick this up for my main and toss the mini in the basement. Thanks Randy!

[MoltenHelium]

Just got the pro today. I’m impressed. It might not be super heavy but the rubber on the bottom does a great job at keeping it in place.. bumping etc.

[wtcwtc]

Thanks Randy. I'll be buying the Wiim Pro and a Geshelli J2 DAC for less money than I'd pay for a NODE.

[khrispeter]

Nice! A great central unit and the mini’s for a real multi room setup
