WiiM Amp Reviews
"From one MacMini-sized/-coloured device, we get a suite of streaming options that goes beyond even BluOS; hard-wired connectivity that includes the all-important HDMI ARC; a hi-res-capable DAC and a 60wpc amplifier that collectively hits the bullseye drawn on the wall that otherwise separates aspirational audiophiles from mainstream consumers. Come together!
I've not seen value for money fly this high in entry-level hi-fi since the Logitech Squeezebox Touch hit the streets in 2010. And that makes the WiiM AMP not only a DAR-KO award winner but a very strong contender for product of the year." John Darko
Our Take on the WiiM Amp
All you need to set up a sweet stereo system with high-res streaming is the WiiM Amp and a nice pair of passive speakers. It's got clean power that can handle even demanding 4 Ohm speakers. And its high-performance DAC circuitry delivers rich, detailed sound that rivals streamers costing several times more, so you can get the best out of music services like Qobuz, TIDAL, and Spotify.
The Amp connects to your home network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and it's super-easy to set up using the free WiiM Home app for Apple® and Android™. You can access and manage a bunch of music services from within the app and group additional WiiM components (sold separately) together for multi-room playback.
Plenty of users will take advantage of its Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay 2, and Alexa support — both for single-zone and multi-room streaming. It also works with Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect, which give you access to the Amp natively from within those apps. Two-way Bluetooth lets you stream wirelessly from your compatible smartphone, tablet, computer. You can also stream from the Amp to your favourite Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
You can connect an analogue source like a turntable with a phono preamp or cassette deck to the Amp's line-level stereo RCA input. An optical input lets you connect a digital audio source like a CD player. Or play high-res music files stored on an external storage drive connected to the USB input. You can even use the HDMI ARC port to connect your TV for great two-channel soundtrack audio. Then you can stream those sources to other compatible multi-room speakers or WiiM components in your system. It also has an output for a powered subwoofer (sold separately) that lets you get better bass.
Overall, we think this is a well spec'd all-in-one streaming solution for the money and hey, it's also pretty easy on the eye. What's not to like?
