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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound, easy setup, great value
I don't leave many reviews - just for standout experiences or major disappointments.Based on reviews I had high expectations for the Wiim amp. I was frankly underwhelmed initially. It replaced a much more expensive NAD D7050 digital amp driving Monitor Audio Silver 5i speakers. It was super easy to set up and sounded good out of the box for casual listening, but in dedicated listening the mid bass was muddy and deep bass non existent. For $250 (got it on sale) this was ok-ish.Today I tried the room correction feature and it was like the veil was lifted. Sound quality went from pretty good to pretty fantastic. Bass became deep, articulate, and punchy. Soundstage superb--wide and deep. The room correction uses the microphone on your mobile phone and it's amazing what it achieves, and how simple they have made it with a wizard and clear instructions. Do not skip this step. Despite the name, 'room correction' is actually a full system calibration inclusive of room, speakers, cables and amp. My Monitor Audio speakers now sound as good as they did with the D7050 amp, maybe even a shade better.Chromecast from my Subsonic app and Tidal Connect both work seamlessly. Single tap, no setup needed.Easy to use, simple to setup, a rich app that is easy to navigate, and a great sound for very reasonable price. Plus, Wiim appears to be very actively adding features and developing their software further. Highly recommended. I am a value-oriented audio enthusiast. Considering the quality and features, I would not pay 4x as much for similar Sonos, Bluesound, or Denon products--and I actually believe all 3 of those companies produce great products.
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Budget Amp and Streamer!
I have been looking for a cost effective streamer to use with my Mac Mini as a desktop system. I have read and watched many reviews on the various Wiim products and virtually all of them were excellent. I decided to purchase the Wiim amp on Bolo Prime day when it was on sale for $240. I couldn't be happier if I tried!First of all, my 97gb of FLAC files are readily available via a USB drive plugged into the rear of the Wiim. They all display properly on the Wiim app on my One Plus Open phone. There is only a minor delay from when I select a song to when it begins playing. This works as well as my Blue Sound Node streamer that is hooked up to my main stereo....at less than half the cost.It also streams great from Spotify, Bolo Music and other apps with no glitches whatsoever, another plus. Using my iPhone I am also able to enable room correction to tune the sound to the room. I only with that this feature worked with Android as well but it doesn't, at least for now. The difference in sound is subtle using room correction but it is pleasant. There is also a parametric equalizer that can be used if desired. The room correction is a feature that many streamers costing two to three times as much don't include!I am currently using a pair of Mirage Nanosat speakers on my desktop and they sound great with the exception of so-so bass. However, I will soon be purchasing a powered subwoofer to correct that issue. Fortunately, the Wiim amp includes a dedicated subwoofer input which is also unexpected considering the price of the amp. The 60 watts per channel is more than sufficient for a nearfield desktop system and I'm confident the sound would be fine in a medium sized room in non-nearfield conditions.Finally, I would be remiss if I did not comment on the excellent build quality of the Wiim Amp. It is at least as sturdily constructed am the Mac Mini that sits under it. It is almost a perfect match in size and color to the Mac Mini...very pleasing! Oh, I almost forgot, the included remote control allows for the operation of basic functions without the need of picking up the cell phone and using the Wiim App.I highly recommend this to anyone looking to build a low cost or starter stereo system or someone who (like me) wants a secondary desktop system. It is a bargain at its full price and a killer deal when on sale!
excellent
(function(){ P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function'){ A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })() This thing powers my B&W 6 series floorstanding speakers perfectly. There's more than enough power ...(you wouldn't think so but I have my subs helping with the the bottom end). Easy crossover settings, sub management, eq + room correction which actually works wonders as you can compare the sound with a click of a button. I believe there's an update coming where you can use a better quality microphone (rather than your phone)The android app is excellent, very easy to use and integrates with most of the streaming apps out there. The remote is very easy to use and it's bluetooth so you can hide this amp anywhere for a clean look.Wow
calidad precio aceptable
lo conecte a un par de BW de 100 rms...no le subo mucho...solo lo necesario para no calentarlo en demasia...suena bien..para el nivel de ruido que le pongo a un 60% de la perilla principal
Sorprendente, muy buena relación calidad precio.
Lo utilizo en un dormitorio pequeño que uso de zona de trabajo, combinado con unos altavoces DALi spektor 1 y un subwoofer kef antiguo.Muy contento con el resultado. Potencia suficiente para un espacio reducido a volumen razonable.Muy buena definición de sonido y escena. Buena aplicación.
Connectivité robuste et fiable, pas de bug, bon son
- très bon rapport qualité prix- très satisfait de l'interface sur smartphone- appareil qui se fait oublier puisqu'il est bien conçu- Ecoute en Flac pour le streaming Deezer, léger délai lorsque l'on saute de plage, mais en mode enchainé, pas de délai.- Aucun problème de connexion (wifi BT). Connexion robuste- Aucun plantage.- Son bien propre- Puissance suffisante pour mon salon (avec colonne JMLAB profil 7) mais j'aurais préféré un peu plus, mais là rentre dans une autre catégorie d'ampli.- Pas de souffle- Etonné de cette qualité vu le prix / A voir dans le temps.
Great amp
Bought this amp to power my new Triangle Br03 speakers. I decided to upgrade from my Q Acoustics M20 powered speakers, which I was using for my TV. For a small amp in size, it is quite powerful (60 watts per channel at 8 ohms), giving a full, rich balanced sound. It also has an app which has excellent features and loads of settings. You have things like BASS management, which is useful if you use a woofer as I do. Most amps don't have this feature. It feels well-built and is quite heavy giving its size (could be because it has large heat sinks for cooling). It comes with a remote which feels and looks quality. And the remote is Bluetooth, which makes life even easier. Great bit of kit, oh, and it has Dolby sound also. And yes it is also a streamer.
