About The WiiM Pro Plus Network Music Streamer
The WiiM Pro Plus lets you add high-res streaming to pretty much any sound system. 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, Spotify, and more.
It can also be part of a multi-room music system that allows you to add digital and analogue sources — like a turntable — with ease, thanks to its analogue input and analogue-to-digital (ADC) chip. And it all fits into an unobtrusive, compact component that you can place almost anywhere.
User-Friendly Streaming Options: This streamer 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™ devices. You can access and manage a bunch of music services from within the app, and control music across multiple WiiM players in different rooms (additional players sold separately). A sync audio option in the WiiM app uses a built-in mic on the Pro Plus to get rid of any playback latency between grouped devices.
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 Pro Plus natively from within those apps.
Two-way Bluetooth lets you stream wirelessly from your compatible smartphone, tablet, computer, or other device using that familiar and popular platform to play music through whatever sound system your Pro Plus is connected to. You can also stream from the Pro Plus to your favourite Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
High-Performance DAC Circuitry: The Pro Plus uses a premium AKM VELVETSOUND™ DAC along with an ultra-low-noise clock. It's also got a high-quality Texas Instruments op-amp (essentially a preamp stage), and a carefully chosen power supply. The sum of this thoughtfully designed circuitry helps the Pro Plus deliver exceptionally clear and dynamic sound from your streaming and digital sources.
Flexible Audio Connections: You can connect to your receiver, amp, or powered speakers using the analogue stereo RCA output to take advantage of the Pro Plus's DAC. Or use a digital output to connect to your favourite outboard DAC.
You can also connect an analogue source like a turntable or cassette deck to its stereo RCA input, or a digital audio source like a TV or CD player to the optical digital input. Then you can stream those sources to other compatible multi-room speakers or WiiM components in your system.
Included Remote & Voice Control: The WiiM Pro Plus comes with a remote that lets you control playback and more. You can even add the remote to your Alexa account and use its built-in mic to make voice commands. Or control it via your favourite Google Assistant or Alexa device or Siri on your iPhone®.
WiiM Pro Plus Reviews
"The WiiM Pro Plus music streamer has a lot to recommend it. As a way to bring proper high-resolution digital audio streaming smarts to an existing system, it's without peer at the price. . . . Add in a control app that's a sight better than any number of its market rivals, and this little bit of kit looks and sounds like the real deal." StereoNet
"As a first, affordable introduction to the many and various charms of music streaming, the WiiM Pro Plus is hard to lay a glove on at the price. It sounds poised and accomplished, it has a surprisingly well-executed control app, and it's ready to form the basis of a multi-room system too. If you want to do better than this, it's going to cost you quite a lot more money." What Hi-Fi? Five Star Review
