5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
I have long wanted to stream CD quality music but could not justify the cost of a pair of Bolo Echo Studios, or pair of Sonos etc. Streaming to Bolo Echo shows, Dots etc has always sounded disappointing. Even plugging an echo using the headphone outs into the rear of a decent amp connected to good quality passive speakers sounded muddy. I also already had some pretty decent passive speakers that it seemed a shame not to make use of. For £299 I could hook up my older audio kit.When I read about this device being released it ticked all my boxes and in short I am very impressed with sound quality, ease of use and build quality. Setup was quick, firmware updates are seamless. The supplied remote control is great with a built in push-button microphone to control the Wiim using Alexa integration. This too works very well. You do not have to use the app on your phone to control the Wiim amp, but it is required for setup and updates.So I now have the Wiim amp connected to a pair of decent passive speakers, and the Wiim streams HD and Ultra HD music from my Bolo Music account (free 3 month subscription right now!). And it sounds brilliant. As good as my actual CD player. It can also stream FLAC files ripped from my old CD collection on a memory stick in the rear USB (yet to try this, only had it one day). Great if you have more obscure old CDs that are not streamed by Bolo.Special mention for the Wiim Home app - it just works really well, very neat. A nice feature is that you can install it on multiple android phones and they all retain independent control of the Wiim amp (ie my wife can use her phone to change what I is playing). They all show what is currently playing with album art, current audio quality, EQ etc.One other advantage for me is that the Wiim amp automatically goes to standby with a very low power usage when inactive (unlike my old amp that I would inevitably forget to switch off).One thing I have not managed to figure out is how to show what is playing on the Wiim amp on my old Echo Show. I have read it can be done using the Bolo Alexa app and setting up Combine speakers with Multi-room music (MRM) but this might compromise audio quality at the present time (I also read a fix to the lower audio quality when used this way is planned).If you buy this get a couple of AAA batteries for the remote (they are not supplied and you need the remote to complete setup).To summarise - amazing functionality, value and quality. Nothing not to like.Update: To address a few issues reported in other reviews:1. “In standby, the amplifier heats up and consumes about 8 W”. This was fixed in a recent firmware update. I read that the power usage in standby is now about 3W. In standby my Wiim Amp is only slightly warm to the touch.2. “there is a constant hum audible from the chassis”. My Wiim amp produces no audible hum in standby. On the Wiim forum Wiim Support stated “A very small number of units from our first manufacturing batch exhibit a low humming noise due to the power transformer. This issue has been resolved in subsequent batches. “.
5.0 out of 5 stars Another great WiiM product
This is the fourth WiiM device I’ve bought and it’s great. Really good value for money (esp on prime day), nice solid sound and really easy to setup.For the money it’s a great feeling product - compact size but feels like quality. It connects easily to my network and plays really nicely with Roon.The WiiM app is great and has new features added all the time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really impressive!
A HiFi enthusiast for 45 years with so many bits of kit , I have lost count . This was bought to look good in the lounge and connect to good quality Monitor Audio speakers . So pleased with this purchase ! What cracking value . Acoustic tracks and vocals sing out with clarity . Stereo separation really amazing ! The bass is moderate but can be boosted on the App Eq which is versatile. Power seems to match the figures quoted . Excellent value for low and medium volume listening. It’s a bargain and really well constructed. Don’t debate , look for the price drops around Prime Days . App is excellent. Set up took 8-9 minutes . Bravo .
5.0 out of 5 stars Such a good streaming amp
I have had old hifi speakers sitting around doing nothing. This amp is fantastic. Controlled direct from Spotify, but I also have it linked to my laptop and have high quality hifi sound in my workspace. We've been getting by on smart speakers for a few years and hearing music in stereo and in high quality made me realise what I'd been missing. It's small, good looking, neat and an absolute bargain for the money. I'm tempted to find some decent second hand speakers and getting another one to replace my tv soundbar. Cannot recommend enough
4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant...but
Love it, won't be changing it. I love the streaming option and playing vinyl though this to my kef q150s.... Great set up. Unfortunately the app won't allow set up of playlist or favourites when using Bolo music.... which hopefully they'll fix with an update?? So it's 4 stars, would be 5 if worked better with Bolo
5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, nice app
Is this the greatest piece of audio electronics ever crafted? Probably not, but at the price and feature set it’s impossible to beat, the audio quality is great, app is intuitive and setup is easy. My only criticism is not having dedicated input buttons on the remote or being able to map them to the shortcuts, I switch constantly between tidal connect, optical and line in and having to open the app is a bit of a pain. You can use the web api and macros but that requires a degree of technical knowledge. I’m probably going to by more of these for other rooms in the house.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to set up
Up and running in less than 15 minutes. No issues so far. Good solution for my situation. Unit is compact so doesn’t stand out in the room, unlike a larger amp or receiver. Powers kef ls50 meta speakers and Q Acoustics subwoofer. Sounds just fine.
1.0 out of 5 stars Removed the feature I bought it for
The whole reason I bought this amplifier was that it offered the ability to stream input from a turntable via AirPlay to my Sonos speakers. Less than 3 months after I purchased it, this facility was removed by an automatic firmware update and WiiM did nothing to inform users. It can no longer transmit over AirPlay but only act as an AirPlay receiver. I will say Bolo acted honourably and accepted it for refund. It is a shame as it seemed like a reasonable quality product as a good price although as an amplifier did not provide especially high quality output through wired speakers which it basically all that was left for me.
The best cheap amp I've tried.
2 years ago the options for cheap stereo amps that had HDMI arc were so rare there might've only been 3-5 options. your other choices were either an AVR or an expensive integrated stereo amp near or over $1k (nad c389, marantz, and more). I first tried the arylic b50 and that amp was a pile of crap. Sounded muddy, didn't get loud, lagged often, and the companion app sucked. The wiim amp is sooooo much better than that arylic amp. I bought this for the living room TV but before I put it in its permanent home I hooked it up to Polk r700s and focal aria 936s and was very shocked that it sounded excellent with higher end speakers. The arylic amp was laughable when paired with the 936s but the wiim made those speakers sing. The companion app is great, too. It's easy to use, loaded with options, and looks good to boot. The room correction isnt the best in the world but it does work well and in this price range it's rare to see at all. This would be an excellent first amp or for a secondary set up. Even snobby audiophiles would be shocked to hear this thing if they didn't see it first. It uses the tpa3255 chip and it's implemented well and sounds pretty good. I don't know if it's the pffb version or not but I really am holding out hope that the wiim amp pro (and possibly a future power amp??) use a higher end amp chip. Even something like the Hypex ucd180hg would sound/measure much better and still keep the price fairly low in comparison to other higher end brands. Anything better than that and the price would start to increase exponentially. Who knows maybe even an a/b could work. Anyways, I am looking forward to Wiim's future products because they've hit a home run with every thing they've released so far.
Pequeño, versátil y de gran calidad
Tengo ya meses de uso con el dispositivo, al momento pienso que es una solución todo en uno muy buena, el software es de lo mejor que he visto, y constantemente esta actualizándose. La calidad del sonido mediante su DAC creo es muy bueno incluso mayor al precio al que pague, no esperen una calidad de sonido de competidores de marcas mas caras, sin embargo para Tidal o plataformas similares sobrepasa la calidad de audio.Nada es perfecto, y me hubiera gustado mas potencia de amplificación, es algo a considerar, no esperes que vas a poder mover con autoridad bocinas de mas de 100w. Otra cosa es que en uso continuo si se calienta, por el momento no he tenido ningún problema, pero a largo plazo pudiera darse el caso, yo le compre unas zapatillas para que tenga una mejor refrigeración y por el momento me ha funcionado.
Excellent value for money. Great audio quality, great streaming capability.
I have this unit running in my workshop driving a pair of Energy 22 Reference speakers (89 DB sensitivity).Bought it primarily to replace a squeezebox touch for streaming from LMS server. In a 12' x 12' room it provides ample volume and remarkably good audio quality. the flexibility the software package has to stream various providers and my own local music library is unmatched by other devices currently on the market at this price point. If you want to rattle windows and bounce furniture, I have a Yamaha MX-1000 I'll sell you but it doesn't stream (everything's a trade off). But for the price point, I'd get this and invest the difference in price on a nice set of speakers you like. If you really want to rattle windows you could hook a sub up, to it but it provides ample bass response on my Energy 22 ref's. A great starter unit for someone who isn't DJ' ing wedding receptions or trying to emulate stadium concert acoustics. Capable, feature rich, attractive, met my requirements with ease.

I to jest sprzęt jakiego szukałem ,wygoda wygoda i jeszcze raz wygoda ,pięknie gra z Elac Debaut 2
Incroyable
Commentaire rédigé après 24h d’utilisation.Simple et efficace! J’utilise une paire de onkyo d-175. Le son est brillant et un peu métallique. Je l’utilise en arc sur la TV et avec en rca avec une platine vynile . Le produit répond super bien on ressent vraiment le côté soin apporté à la création (ingénieries) du produit.
