WiiM Amp Streaming Amplifier Grey

Delivery was fast, just 2 days after placing. Took me a while to setup, cuz the Wiim app cannot detect the amp. The sound at flat setting is too jarring. Fortunately, the app comes with a comprehensive equalizer. Also noticed that the Wiim app is less responsive compared to my Bluesound Node app. But for its price, it's a good buy.Updated review after about 2 weeks of daily use. The Wiim Amp function well with the exception of the USB input. For those wishing to use the Wiim to play their personal library of music files, the Wiim may not be suitable. Persistent problem in reading files from the USB drive. Found out that problem is quite prevalent from the Wiim forums, as early as Jan 2024, or even earlier.

Persistent problem in reading files from the USB drive. Found out that problem is quite prevalent from the Wiim forums, as early as Jan 2024, or even earlier. Unfortunately, the Wiim support team have yet to find a solution for this problem. By comparison, my Bluesound Node have no problem with the same library. The problem was not replicated at the store because a thumb drive with only a small number of files was tested. With a larger library, the scanning stopped at around 2000 songs and cannot detect the rest. Repeated rescanning might cause the set to freeze, which is actually one of the known issues acknowledged on the official Wiim websie.

Excellence built in.

I bought this product a month ago to replace some older equipment. I use it with Q-Acoustic bookshelf speakers and spotify as the music source. It is a compact, good looking set up and sonically gives the type of output I prefer, warm, rich tones. Its stand out feature though is its ease of use, selection of spotify on my phone automatically prompts me to choose the wiim as the output and it even appears to turn the amp on automatically. Its simplicity is really endearing and useful.

Great Value and Excellent Sound

Recently purchased the WiiM Amp after looking at a variety of streaming options. I'm very pleased I decided to go with the WiiM Amp. It's small and easy to place in a variety of areas, it's also very simple to set up and connect to Broadband Router.Easily connected to my Tidal account and in no time I was listening to my favourite music and everything is crystal clear. This might be small but has a big impact, and is well worth the money if you are looking for a great way to stream your music.I connected my TV and the sound was great, although not as good as my Soundbar when watching movies.Great little amp, and I would certainly recommend this product.

Lovely sound and a great app to control it

I bought this a few days ago and it is rather fine.It has been paired with my bronze Audio Monitor floorstanding speakersand the sound is clear, smooth and clean.The app works really well and there is an equaliser to just tweak the bass up a little.Excellent build quality and the connections are solid.Leads are provided and the presets on the remote are much more useful than I might have thought.Fully integrates with Apple HomePods in other rooms. Really impressed.

Really innovative product for audio enthusiasts. Best product I have bought over the past 5 years.

I am new to the wiim family of products but I was so impressed that I have bought two wiim amps. I have 2 polk signature s10s as speakers and an svs 3000 micro as a subwoofer on one system and 2 Cambridge Audio Minx speakers and Cambridge Audio 6.5 in subwoofer on other system. Previously I was using these with a fosi audio bl20a amplifier which is good for the price but I found that its preamp line out was going down in volume faster than the speakers so that made it very limited in use with a subwoofer. Firstly the wiim app is spectacular. Very simple to use and set up. Does remind me of an Apple product. I made each wiim the default speaker in my google home for a google nest hub in the same room as each wiim so that the music would play directly from the wiim. ... MoreI am new to the wiim family of products but I was so impressed that I have bought two wiim amps.

I made each wiim the default speaker in my google home for a google nest hub in the same room as each wiim so that the music would play directly from the wiim. Great that it has chromecast and spotify connect. I used rew to decide on an appropriate crossover point and loved the better blending I was able to achieve by having the low pass and high pass filters on the wiim. Then I used all 4 peq bands on wiim to give me a flat response between 20 and 500 Hz. I've never been able to achieve this on a 2 channel system only on a much more expensive and larger denon avr. I've not needed to use the remote at all since it automatically switches inputs when the current input stops playing and it senses a signal on another input. But the remote is also nice and works well. Important to note though that the microphone on the remote can only work with Alexa and not with google home or Siri.Pros: Lots of features and great price.Cons: I had to set the subwoofer trim in wiim amp at +15 in order to get my svs subwoofer to switch to on from standby mode since I dont listen at loud volume. The cambridge audio on the other hand was able to turn on from standby with a 0 trim setting in the wiim amp. A dynamic eq feature on wiim that gives more emphasis to bass would help the SVS. I had a problem where it wouldn't switch to line in from optical but switching to a different cable seems to have helped with that. I think a button to switch inputs and a button to skip and go back a track would be helpful.

Small box, big sound.

I've had this for a few weeks now and really can't fault it. The control app is easy to use and extensive.I'm using B&W 704's and HDMI arc input and it sounds awesome.The EQ function has a significant positive impact on the sound, useful for me as ears are getting old.It looks sleek, sturdy and compact and easy to set up.If you are looking for a good amp that delivers crisp treble clear rounded mids and rich warm but tight bass, with the bells and whistles of Bluetooth and WiFi. This is the one for you.

Very Neat and Capable with Great Sound

The Wiim amp has got me listening to music after years relying on small smart speakers. I had a pair of Mordaunt Short satellites on my desk , I moved these to just behind the telly (not ideal but invisible), I added an Edifier T5 sub woofer, plugged in my TV via HDMI and stuck a thumb drive of my favourite tracks in the back of the WiiM amp.Once I got the sub woofer crossover set to 10hz above the 100hz cut off point and applied some EQ adjustments to each audio source to bring the sound to life, I started to enjoy the experience and convenience. TV sound is fully integrated with HDMI Arc. USB source is easily indexed and appears just like a streaming app. 4 Presets on remote make my regular radio a breeze. The physical on/off volume knob is a bonus. Streaming ... MoreThe Wiim amp has got me listening to music after years relying on small smart speakers.

The physical on/off volume knob is a bonus. Streaming apps, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Chromecast the list goes on. The setup might be less than audiophile but the integration with my TV and simple control options mean I listen to it every day, The audio quality is way better than I expected. It is even better with stand mounted Celestion SL6s on stands but sadly not as discrete!I have discovered BBC Radio 6 music, Radio Paradise and FLAC on USB. I may get round to subscribing to one of the streaming apps, but so far there is so much new and old music that I am rediscovering that I haven’t had time!Whilst I am sure that there are other great integrated streaming amplifier solutions out there, the price and performance ratio of the WiiM makes it worthy of serious consideration especially if you already have suitable speakers. The Edifier T5 sub has also proved a great buy allowing a much more discrete lifestyle solution with a pair of tiny AV satellite speakers.

WiiM Amp and service

I was searching online about the WiiM Amp and found a great price at Rockville at the time of order. Got a brand new unit at $239.99. Placed the order asap. Received product one day earlier than expected. I used it for Spotify music and for my TV sound. Using Polk audio atrium 4 speakers plus an old Yamaha sub. I am not an audiophile but system sounds very nice to me. I would shop at Rockville if I need any other audio products again
