NOTES
*1 COMPARISONS OF UNREVIEWED GEAR : Please don't ask me how a product compares to another which I haven't reviewed, as it isn't possible to comment on such products I haven't tested. Check out my website for reviews of products I have completed instead (hit the review tag, and separate tags).
*2 MORE ADVICE : If you are asking me how does X product compare to Y that I HAVE reviewed, or how does something sound beyond comment in videos, or system / further advice, please sign up to Patreon (small amounts!) or make contributions via PayPal where we text chat or Zoom etc. I can't answer all questions free on YouTube! I only charge £25 for an hour consultation on Zoom of all my experiences, which is cheaper than many.
*3 ABUSE POLICY : I encourage and like debate, and constructive criticism, but people who abuse or troll me, or my subscribers or commenters, post very negative and non constructive and uncorroborated comments designed to put me or others down (where they don't explain themselves), or they could be perceived as such, as well as aggressive comments / hate, or pit my subscribers against me, get their comments removed and I hide them from commenting again. I don’t need the hassle of these people for all the work I put in! Again I don’t mind people who disagree with me, where they explain, or indeed debate, but I tend to delete comments that are not substantiated where the poster doesn’t explain themselves e.g just ‘this amp is really bad’ as it doesn't add to the discussion and detracts from my efforts

I have owned 2 WiiM Pro for some time now, been using them daily almost and I really did learn new stuff while viewing your video: thanks for that!
-
Nice to see this, I enjoy seeing how interfaces change. After all, those make a difference to usability.
-
I have owned a few streamers, and for $150 or $200, the WiiM Pro and or Pro + are on another level, no thanks to the incredibly solid built in EQ and PEQ that is so easily accessible from every track being played. Pair a WiiM Pro to a solid DAC, pick your flavor, and you have yourself an inexpensive Audiophile experience that few can match under $5000. Just add a linear power supply, and save your money for better speakers.
-
The PEQ could probably be it’s own video. That is something that Bluesound and others don’t offer.
-
Been wondering about the wiim app, thanks!
-
Great Review! I actually was looking for an app/feature review of this streamer, so helpfull to know that there is a line input auto detect for both optical and analog sources!
-
love your preset #10!
-
Thanks, very useful and well presented, I've subbed.
-
Thx for reviewing the Wiim software Simon. I've been using the Wiim mini now for a few years as a transport only into my Rega DAC/Naim amp. It's a great little piece of kit and a bargain for 90quid! Keep up the great channel Cheers Chris
-
Super helpful thank you!
-
I have the Wiim mini and it’s good enough. I like the small puck form factor.
-
Best video on Wiim so far because as you said, others don’t really talk about the app. I have one question. Can I search for an internet station within the app? Thanks.
-
Спасибо, в русскоязычном ютубе даже близко нет такой информации. Спасибо большое за обзор, вчера купил wiim pro plus, пойду настраивать
-
If you have a playlist set as favourite, next time you play it back does it start when it stopped,or it begins playing from the 1st song on the list?
-
Quick question and thanks for another excellent video. I’m minded to have a headphone system McIntosh 200 amp wim pro and qutest. Any thought?
-
It would be nice if Wiim Pro supports Apple Music natively, but Apple probably won’t license it to Wiim, if they do, no one would buy Apple’s own HomePod anymore.
-
For NAS im currently using Emby. Their app is just nicer to use imo. You can set DNLA to control the WIIM
-
Hi Simon. Can you please do a video on power supply upgrades for the Wiim server? Thanks
-
I would like to have a larger and separate interface than my personal mobile device. Is a windows laptop viable using a virtual android instance? If not, do chromebooks work? If not, I'll just get an android tablet. Thanks!
-
How would one play songs from Bandcamp mobile app, using the WiiM Pro Plus software with EQ? The idea of the WiiM EQ working to improve the sound from integrated amps nowadays is nice, but I have the impression that no matter what product I try, I won't get what I want unless I use my desktop computer into my amp. I currently have the this problem with Bluesound using my mobile phone and it seems no product out there solves the problem simply.
