WiiM Amp: Multiroom Streaming Amplifier | Compatible with AirPlay, Google Cast, Alexa | HDMI, Voice Control | Stream from Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal & More | Silver

I had trouble with Sonos after the update their app so I purchasing WiiM amps over the last 12 months and each time the product operates exactly as advertised. Set up is easy, integration with music services is straight forward and sound quality is good. With these last 2 amps I integrated them with Alexa+ which went well and provided the basic capabilities as expected. If you're looking for a good quality, no hassle streaming amp. This is a good choice

I'll be honest: As an audiophile, this thing is borderline insane. High quality parts, low noise and distortion, and it does EVERYTHING. What do I mean by everything? Inputs. You can basically input anything. HDMI Arc, USB, Toslink, even RCA! Easily controlled volume and mute with my TV's remote using HDMI Arc. It has a DAC, and while it's not state of the art, it produces neutral sound with no audible noise or distortion. Amplifier isn't the strongest but more than enough for most bookshelf speakers at 100 watts. If you use a Subwoofer, you'll want to set a high pass filter at which point your bookshelf speakers will have all the power they need without wasting it on sub-bass they're not built for. Ah, but how do I set a low pass? Easy! This baby comes with built in DSP! Not garbage DSP with a bass/treble knob, but fully integrated separate left and right parametric Equalizers and both gain and high pass settings for the subwoofer pre-out! DSP like this normally costs $400 or so on its own, but here we have it built into an All-In-One and it works beautifully. I could gush even more. It weights a decent amount because the power brick is built in, the connectivity is through the roof, it's solid as a rock, the app works without issue and offers tons of other streaming... Yeah, whatever. Just buy it. It's great.

I think all the hype surrounding this device is warranted. About me: I have a home theater system in the basement man cave and a basic soundbar on the family room tv above the fireplace. However, our house is wired for speakers in the family room and living room (my home office). I bought a Wiim mini when it was first released and a fosi/douk amp to power a set of speakers in my office and a switch to also play in the living room. The Wiim mini was quite impressive. It received so many updates and was always rock solid. The app works well, integration with other Android apps - like spotify, tidal, etc. is pretty great. The Douk amp was simply junk and squeals all the time at 10-15khz (like having tinnitus) but I loved the Wiim mini, so I splurged on the Wiim Amp. Same app experience, all of the benefits of the mini but the sound quality, build, and design is so much better than the douk. Plus I never need to go turn on a the amp. Wiim amp sits at a low power state and will auto sense inputs and power on automatically. I'm not an audiophile, just love music. Driving a set of RP500mII bookshelf speakers and a powered subwoofer. To my ears, it sounds as good as my much more expensive receiver. I'm really happy because it's a streamer and an amp at a pretty good price. The Wiim mini will still have have it's place. What I can do is use the Wiim amp and Wiim mini together to easily create 2 zones. I can simply select the room I want the music to play via the app or home automation. Most of the inputs are covered. Hdmi, optical, rca. No coax. One thing I did not realize is that the usb port is NOT for a DAC, so you cannot connect this to a pc or mac via usb and use as a DAC. The usb port is for a usb drive with music/audio files. I already have a desktop dac, so not a big deal. I also have a NAS with my personal music collection and it's easily integrated with the Wiim app. You can also play from a PC to this device via Chromecast. The only real issue I've experienced is playback trouble with Audible. However, there was an update that fixed it. Another shortcoming is that I'd like a line out. You can play through speakers directly connected to the amp or connect to another device, like headphones, via Bluetooth. There is only a subwoofer out. Adjustable crossover makes it really nice to set up. One issue I found is that it does not auto power on my subwoofer. I think because there is no initial "pop" when you power on. Very minor, only applies at low listening volume. With the HDMI input, I can use this with my TV, but it would need to pass through a video signal and have another hdmi port to use with my computer and monitor. It does come with a voice remote that is easy to set up. Adding your 4 favorite stations is critical, then you really won't need to open the app- just power on and start those streams instantly. Overall, I'm really happy and use it daily. My friends ask about it and are generally impressed with the size, build, and sound quality. Great purchase and I'd recommend to anyone who wants a simple streaming setup. Best audio purchase I've made in a long time.

Very good streaming amp. Excellent sound quality and near perfect all in one box, my only qualm with this amp is that the analog input stage was not great for my turntable/external phono preamp connection. I see a lot of people saying they connect their turntable and it sounds great so your mileage my vary, unfortunately everything I tried did not sound as good as my previous system (turntable/phono preamp routed through a wiim pro plus with a separate class D amp) for my turntable. Aside from that the wiim amp pro is great. Easy to setup and use, and price-to-performance is unbeatable.

Awesome streamer/amp and phone app to control it. The built in DSP has many functions including bass management that can be configured as a crossover, and graphic and parametric equalization. It barely gets warm in use, and since you can control everything it does with your phone, you can hide it somewhere and never have to look at or touch the amp. I use the Wiim Amp Pro in my bedroom (you can see it on the left side of the picture). I liked it so much I bought a Wiim Amp Ultra (a little higher power output) for my living room system.

I went looking for an amp with HDMI arc. I needed a small unit due to space limitations and the Sonos Amp fit perfectly. It's worked great for quite a while now. Fast forward to December 2023 when my Yamaha home theatre receiver started acting up. I don't use it for anything but delivering audio to my speakers via HDMI arc from my TV. It was time for another Sonos Amp, but another $900 CAD? Its a great product but I really didn't want to spend that much again. Then I found this amp. It's exactly what I needed and wanted. It works great. Has its own remote. HDMI arc and the auto switching between a streaming source or HDMI arc works great. Really simple and easy to use. Simple set up. I'm most impressed by the EQ. The Sonos amp has bass and treble controls, while this one has a graphic EQ or parametric eq (you can switch between either). The parametric EQ is what i ended up using and it truly works excellent. This amp is very pleasing to my ears (maybe more so than the Sonos) on the same set of speakers (Paradigm Mini Monitor v5). The only con with this amp is the power output is half that of the Sonos. It doesn't quite have the same punch at increased listening levels that the Sonos does. When hooked up to the large floor speakers, this is more noticeable. The Sonos has more punch and drives those speakers (Paradigm Monitor 9 v3) much better. This is the only real thing of note. For my application, the Wiim Amp works perfectly and I would 100% buy another. Great product.

BLUF: The WiiM Amp is a great music streamer and two-channel audio amplifier. Get one, you won't regret it. [Update 7/1/24: The WiiM Amplifier (also WiiM Pro Plus and the soon to be released WiiM Ultra Preamplifier) now support WiiM's room correction. (No, the WiiM Mini does not support room correction at this time.) I do not know if the WiiM Pro (non-Plus) music streaming device supports the WiiM room correction. I only own WiiM Amplifier(s), WiiM Pro Plus and WiiM Mini music streaming devices that I purchased on Amazon. If there was still any doubt that the WiiM Amplifier and the other WiiM music streaming products sold on Amazon are the best value in audio (perhaps ever) then the WiiM room correction should convince. The WiiM room correction works with the WiiM Home app and the microphone in your smart phone. In less than a minute the WiiM Home app and supported WiiM streaming device will analyze the in-room frequency response of your speakers including a subwoofer if present in your system. The WiiM room correction creates a custom 10 band parametric equalizer response curve that you can name and save or just use the default name "Auto". The results of using the WiiM room correction with my system(s) have been impressive. LPT: You can temporarily connect a WiiM Pro Plus to any 2 channel or 2.1 channel audio system where you normally have a WiiM Mini. Then perform the WiiM room correction and save the room EQ settings. You can later write down or screenshot the room correction EQ values and manually apply the room EQ settings to the WiiM Mini at a later time. Unless you rearrange your room, change the speakers or your preferred listening position you should not need to re-run the room correction.] Tips: You can set the maximum volume level using the WiiM Home app. Use the WiiM Home app volume slider control or the WiiM Remote to control the volume. When I set the WiiM Amp's maximum volume level to ~80% the acoustic level in my home from various 4 ohm to 8 ohm speakers (ranging from ~82dB to 90dB rated efficiency) gets as loud as I want and can stand. If you are concerned that the WiiM Amp may not have sufficient power for your application then adding a powered subwoofer will make the most of the WiiM Amp's power (60 Watts per channel (WPC) into 8 ohms and 120 WPC into 4 ohms), available for the two main speakers. (I also tested the WiiM Amp's subwoofer output using the new RSL Speedwoofer 10E.) When using a turntable with the WiiM Amp you must use an external phono stage preamp as the WiiM Amp does not have a built-in phono stage. (You may want to use a phono preamp that has selectable gain or continuously variable gain to ensure an acceptable audio level when using the WiiM Amp with the turntable.) The WiiM Amp does not have a headphone output jack. I was able to successfully pair my Bose Quiet Comfort headphones with the WiiM Amp. If you experience poor Wi-Fi reception when using the WiiM Amp try moving the Wiim Amp closer to your router. (I found that rotating the WiiM Amp chassis 90 degrees also helped improve the Wi-Fi connection.) The WiiM Amp also has an Ethernet connection. Using the WiiM Amp it is possible to assemble a very satisfying and enjoyable digital streaming audio system for under $1K (WiiM Amp ($300) + Bookshelf Speakers (up to ~400/pr) + Powered Subwoofer (est. $300). You can add a CD player and/or a turntable if desired. Great: The WiiM Amp is capable of providing deep, well articulated bass. The WiiM Amp has very good dynamics, i.e. punchy even. The sound of the WiiM Amp is neutral. The WiiM Amp provides a wide soundstage. The WiiM Amp's single (mono) RCA subwoofer output connection together with the WiiM Home app's bass management functions makes pairing the WiiM Amp with a powered subwoofer super easy. The WiiM Amp automatically applies low and high pass filters when the subwoofer output is enabled. The WiiM Amp was able to effectively power every 4 to 8 ohm loudspeaker I tried quite well. I even tried driving a pair of Magnepan MG1 magneplanar loudspeakers (82dB efficiency). The WiiM Amp was able to cleanly drive each of these speakers as loud as I desired.) No audible noise or hum in either of my two WiiM Amps (I purchased a Metallic Grey and then purchased a Silver WiiM Amp.) The WiiM Amp runs cool. Even after a few hours of listening at moderately high level output the WiiM Amp chassis was barely warm to the touch. The WiiM Home app has both graphic and parametric equalizer functions. If you spend a little time learning how to master these controls you will probably be able to get the audio balance you desire. Not so great: Shipping Damage: I had purchased my first WiiM Amp, in Metallic Grey, from another online retailer. The package containing the Metallic Grey WiiM Amp was unopened and undamaged as received. I recently purchased the Silver WiiM Amp from Amazon. Although not sold as being refurbished the Silver WiiM Amp included the WiiM manufacturer's ten percent discount. One corner of the box for the Silver WiiM Amp arrived dented. The box also appeared to have been opened. However, all cables, booklet, remote and accessories were provided. The Silver WiiM Amp unit came wrapped in the factory plastic protective layer and appeared new and undamaged. Wi-Fi Performance: 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi reception is just OK, could be better. (This makes me wonder where WiiM located the internal Wi-Fi antenna in the WiiM Amp as the top and 3 sides of the WiiM Amp's case are made of an aluminum alloy.) I can't comment on 5GHz Wi-Fi performance. When I moved the WiiM Amp to another room in my home (further away from the router) the WiiM Amp would sometimes stutter or mute the audio. Rotating the WiiM Amp by 90 degrees (so that the rear of the WiiM Amp was now facing the router) seemed to improve the Wi-Fi reception. WiiM Amp Audio Performance: After auditioning the WiiM Amp with four different sets of wired speakers I found that the WiiM Amp does not provide as sharp and detailed imaging as do some other amplifiers I own. With each of the loudspeakers I tried (4 ohm, 5 ohm, 8 ohm; 2-way, 3-way, 2-way planar magnetic) the WiiM Amp's imaging lacked focus. Still, this did not take away from my enjoyment when listening to favorite selections using the WiiM Amp. Lagged WiiM Home phone app Performance: The WiiM Home phone app is sometimes lagged, i.e. when accessing the Audio Setting of the WiiM Amp. (I'm not sure if this is an app software issue or related to the limitations of the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi performance.) Lagged Remote Control Response: The WiiM Remote Control uses Bluetooth. The WiiM remote control of the WiiM Amp volume, etc. is sometimes lagged. USB Confusion: The WiiM Home App recognized the thumb drive (containing some MP3 files) that I inserted into the WiiM Amp's USB port. I was able to play the MP3 files using the WiiM Amp by selecting USB as the source. I next tried adding additional files, both MP3 and MP4 format files to the thumb drive. The WiiM Amp and/or WiiM Home app never properly updated the thumb drive file cache and never displayed an updated playlist. WiiM Amp Remote batteries: The batteries (two AAA) are not included with the WiiM Amp. (Neither of the two WiiM Amps that I've recently purchased came with the needed batteries for the remote control.) [Update 6/3/24] I purchased a WiiM Mini to solve an issue I was having with the WiiM Amplifier. The WiiM Amp is a brilliant product in almost every respect. One notable exception is Wi-Fi connectivity. In my home the WiiM Amp only has acceptable Wi-Fi connectivity when the WiiM Amp is placed close, i.e. within the same room as my wireless router. To solve this issue, I use the WiiM Mini as a Wi-Fi music streamer. I connect the WiiM Mini to the WiiM Amp via the optical cable and this gets around my WiiM Amp Wi-Fi performance issues. (The optical connection is 24 bit, 192 kbps.) I stream Spotify Premium exclusively, I can't hear any difference when using the WiiM Amp with Wi-FI (placed close to the W-Fi router) or when using the WiiM Mini and the optical output from the WiiM Mini to the optical input of the WiiM Amp. Now I can locate WiiM Amps in different rooms in my home and not have Wi-Fi connectivity issues. This works for me. Maybe this solution will work for you if you are having WiiM Amp Wi-Fi issues.

I love WiiM, these guys just do things right. I have two WiiM devices to date and can see myself adding more. I originally started out with a WiiM Pro streaming device. I use this in my office with an Onkyo 900 series receiver, a pair of Martin Logan B10 bookshelf speakers (on stands), and an Elac subwoofer. Recently I started having problems with the Onkyo, which is why I originally bought the WiiM Pro, but it's gotten so bad it won't recognize any input signal for like 10 minutes... really annoying. So I've been on the lookout for a replacement amplifier to use with my Pro. I originally thought the VibeLink would be a good alternative, but even though the VibeLink is marketed as a stand alone amplifier, it doesn't include a subwoofer output (what? Seriously??). Anyway, I ended up giving the WiiM Amp Pro a try. It's an amplifier and also a streamer which frees up my original streamer Pro to use elsewhere in the house. The WiiM Amp Pro is about an eighth the size of my Onkyo, so I'm really liking the smaller footprint, and right off the bat my shelf unit is far less cluttered. There are just enough inputs to make this guy hugely versatile without increasing the overall size. Inputs include RCA jacks (if you're using a DAC in an external device, or an analog output from something), an optical input (if you want to take advantage of the onboard Sabre ES9038 DAC), and an HDMI ARC input which is nice for connecting your TV or monitor. You get a left and right speaker output pair of binding posts, and a subwoofer output. Rounding out the ports is an RJ-45 network jack and a USB port for external media. This is in addition to the Bluetooth connectivity. The front of the unit is very minimalist, but you won't miss anything because WiiM has done a great job of giving you exactly what you need on the front panel and not cluttering it up with things you don't. There's a single LED indicator on the left that lets you know which input you're on by the color. It's easy and intuitive, and I don't miss the clutter of multiple buttons at all. The multi-function knob handles the volume (by rotating it) and also has a “tap” button in the center that functions as a play/pause button. For volume readback, WiiM has included six LED indicators next to the volume control that do a remarkable job of indicating the volume. On top of that, after you've made your volume adjustment, they will fade out after a few seconds. This keeps the front panel pretty dark and allows the Amp Pro to blend into it's environment. If that's not enough, you still have two additional ways of controlling the basic functions of the Pro Amp. The included voice remote (yep, I said voice remote), and the free WiiM app. The remote is another lesson in minimalist design giving you only what you need and not cramming rarely used functions onto it's face. You have the power button, the voice button, an input select button and a mute button for starters. In addition, you'll find a circular and incredibly intuitive to use, circular volume/transport cluster. There's also four favorite buttons which can be used to assign your favorite streaming channels. The WiiM app is the icing on this cake. Everything you can do from the front panel and the remote, you can do from the app. I have a dedicated Samsung tablet I use for this purpose, but you can certainly use your phone if you want. I can't say enough about this app, it just works like you would expect it work. It takes all of about a minute to find your way around it and use it to stream from pretty much any streaming app you'd want to, and also stream your own music from any DLNA device you choose. I have all my music stored on a NAS drive, and the app was able to show me my music without any trouble at all. It has a whole slew of settings and customizations, and and will play pretty much any audio codec you throw at it. It has both graphic and parametric EQ's built in, and a nice selection of pre-formatted, genre based EQ presets. Yeah, great, but how does it sound? Well, I can honestly say it sounds fantastic. The Amp Pro will tell you it's rated for 60 watts at 8 ohms. My Martin Logan's are rated at 5 ohms, and the highest I've had the volume is about 50% (that's 3 LEDs on the front panel), and I like my music played loud. The TI 3255 amplifier chip is amazingly competent. This Class D amplifier is able to provide way more power than I can use. To be clear, the more efficient your speakers, the more power you will be able to enjoy. The amp is suitable for a wide range of speakers from 4 ohm all the way to 8 ohm. The lowest impedance being 2.67 ohms. The sound is rich and warm and powerful. You would expect to see a much bigger amplifier sitting in it's place, because you won't believe the sound this amp is able to provide. It's nothing short of amazing. I was blown away. I will say, if you have smaller, bookshelf sized speakers, every system will benefit from adding a subwoofer. I say that as a general rule, not only if you're using a WiiM device. Even an inexpensive sub can add a huge amount of depth and punch to your sound. When you combine multiple WiiM streaming/amplified devices throughout you house, you can set up an affordable distributed music system that works like you'd expect it to, for a fraction of the price of other big name streamers (gird your loins Sonos). If you're in the market for a fully distributed sound system, or just want something affordable for an office, bedroom, family room setup, give Wiim a try. They have not disappointed me.
