WiiM Mini Network Music Streamer
The WiiM Mini is an audio streamer with Hi-Res audio and wireless multi-room streaming capabilities - all in a tiny, compact unit.
With support for top music streaming services including Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Prime Music, Deezer, with more to come, as well as AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and an analogue Aux in jack, the WiiM Mini defies it's size with some great audio features!
High-Res Audio: The WiiM Mini supports playback of Hi-Res lossless audio content from services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer and more. It supports up to 192kHz, 24-bit audio output via the optical line out.
The integrated TI stereo DAC provides high quality analogue audio output with 106 dB SNR, and -92dB THD+N performance, outstanding in all audio categories.
Gapless Playback: Precise gapless playback can be very important to your listening experience. With precise gapless playback, the playback timing is guaranteed to be identical to the source. The WiiM Mini will not introduce gaps or overlaps (crossfading) between successive "continuous" tracks such as live recordings or concept albums.
Multi-Room: The WiiM Mini features perfect audio synchronization and seamless device control via the companion App allowing you to group multiple devices together to create a complete connected system throughout your home. Through careful hardware and software optimisation, the WiiM Mini can achieve less than 150uS (0.00015s!) synchronisation accuracy among streamers as long as they are on the same wireless network. Thus, your sound system can be located wherever your Wi-Fi network covers.
Auto Calibration of Audio Delay: Any connected receiver or speaker may introduce audio path latency due to the different hardware, software or DSP processing involved in that device. To maintain the synchronisation of each system, the WiiM Mini can measure the audio path delay automatically. By leveraging the on-device microphone and proprietary algorithm, the entire audio path latency is measured automatically when it's connected with an amplifier or speaker. The latency value will be adjusted to maintain the perfect audio synchronisation in wireless multi-room or multi-channel playback.
Adaptive EQ: When the WiiM Mini's Adaptive EQ is enabled, the music genre information and other tags included in the audio content's meta data are used to adjust the EQ in real time - either bringing rich audio to capture every music detail or making human voices clearer in podcasts.
All Content In One App: The WiiM Home App supports many top music streaming services including Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Prime Music, Qobuz, Deezer & more.
It's more convenient than ever to have your music and device control in one place. With the WiiM Home app, you can easily browse all your favourite music services without jumping between multiple apps. Additionally, you can control the device EQ, setup a music alarm, and create a personalised routine via the WiiM home app.
Music Alarm: Wake up to, or sleep with your favourite music, radio station, or podcast online. The WiiM Home App slowly adjusts the volume during a music alarm or sleep timer for better a sleep and rise.
WiiM Mini Reviews
"Audio files up to 16/48 can be streamed to the Mini via AirPlay 2, but hi-rez audio up to 24/192 can be streamed to it via Wi-Fi with the WiiM Home app. The app supports Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon, and many other streaming services, and it features Gapless playback. Moreover, it can stream the same audio to multiple Minis to allow wireless multiroom operation." John Atkinson, Stereophile
Our Take On The WiiM Mini
If you're after an inexpensive network music player then the WiiM Mini is the place to start. It is easy to setup and use and supports almost every streaming service we can think of. It also has Bluetooth & AirPlay so you can stream direct from Apple or Android smart devices. It has a nicely laid out App which works well and for the price we don't think there's anything better on the market. If you need a streamer for a second system or you're wanting to try out streaming for as little outlay as possible then put the WiiM Mini on your short list.
