WiiM Amp Streaming Amplifier for Passive Speakers with HDMI ARC, Space Gray | Upgrade Your Passive Speakers with Hi-Fi streaming, HDMI ARC TV Audio, RoomFit & Smart Control in One Compact Amplifier

I consider myself to be an audiophile, well at least a reasonable one. Yes I have some expensive equipment but when it came to outfitting my garage, I needed to take a different approach. So I started with the online reviews. The WiiM amp got mixed reviews from the audiophile sect. But wait a minute, this only sets you back $300 not thousands. So shouldn’t it be judged based on its cost benefit? I say yes. Therefore I give this device a full five stars. I think its performance is dam good. Pairing with the right speakers is key. It does many things very well. Great sonics, clarity, adequate power, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, a really good App, and a solid build. Another feature is its remote, and the number of music streams it supports. I think I love this compact amp. So now, what speakers? I chose Polk Atrium 6 and it was a match made in heaven for my two bay garage. Not to say that this amp won’t satisfy the indoor audio needs of most. Be careful in selecting you speakers. Look for a high sensitivity in the speakers performance specifications. You will get the most out of the amps power. So I started this journey today and will update as time goes on. Right now, I give the WiiM amp a high recommendation for its price point. It is musical, compact, well made, ample connectivity, and won’t break the bank.

This amplifier exceeded my expectations. The setup was quick and straightforward, and the sound quality is clear, powerful, and well-balanced. Streaming works smoothly, and the app is easy to use. It has a sleek, compact design that fits perfectly into my entertainment setup. Overall, it’s an excellent value and a great choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home audio system. Highly recommended

I have been circling around this Wiim Amp for months now after reading comments all over the Internet. I've been making do with a Google TV + Chromecast dongle plugged into a Yamaha AV Receiver. My extensive digital music collection can be served up by Plex or SqueezeServer/Lyrion. And I stream dynamic playlists I created for a variety of moods and listening circumstances. But the Google dongle randomly stops playing when fed music streams. Annoying! I also wanted a more "lightweight" audio center at my desk. Then the Wiim Amp made more and more sense. From my PC, I have plugged an audio mini to RCA cable into the Wiim Amp. The Wiim Amp quickly "announced" itself to Google Home. I have been streaming music-- uninterrupted-- via Chromecast/Google Cast! How about the audio? I am not playing heavy metal. But I commonly listen to Jazz, Classical, Old School Soul, Classic Rock; Folk. For test purposes, I just put on a Debussy symphony. The dynamic range is impressive. I am pleased with the clarity and openness. That's been true for that symphony and Miles Davis. And Hendrix. A few tips if you're considering the Wiim Amp: 1) Get yourself a self-powered subwoofer. This will not only provide the low end of the music spectrum. It will also offload a lot of output power from the Wiim Amp, lending more ooomph to the rest of the audible range through your speakers. So you can get more dynamic range and/or possibly get somewhat more power hungry speakers. The subwoofer doesn't have to be terribly fancy. Mine is a Monoprice 8248 with 8" driver. I got it on sale but even at the list price it ably does the job. (The Polk PSW10 is quite good for just a bit more.) 2) Be realistic about the speakers you harness to this amp. I'm using discontinued JBL Loft30 mini bookshelf speakers that punch way over their weight class. There are many others that can work as well. 3) Don't expect this to rock out at high volumes into large rooms. You might skate past the ceiling imposed by 60 watts @ 8 ohms. (But if you happen to find 4 ohm speakers, the lower impedence will enable higher output from this amp.) 4) The Wiim amp recognizes all the major music streaming services. So you don't have to build a massive in-home music library. Important notes: 1) This does not have a headphone jack. But you can plug in a very low priced USB-based dongle headphone amp. 2) This does not have a phono pre-amp. So if you're a vinyl freak, this might push you over the line. If I were in that position, I'd probably consider other equipment rather than getting a separate phono preamp. Bottom line: it's possible to put together a very satisfying system without breaking the bank. Heck-- get the subwoofer later if you have a more modest budget to start with.

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 recently had the opportunity to explore the WiiM amp, and I must say, the experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The setup process was a breeze, taking no more than five minutes to get everything up and running. What sets this amp apart is its in-depth app, which offers extensive control over various aspects of the device, making it a delight for tech enthusiasts. Sound Quality: The sound quality of the WiiM amp is impressive. Paired with my KEF Q150s, the audio imaging is remarkable, delivering a rich and immersive listening experience. The clarity and depth of the sound are noteworthy, especially considering the price point. Features: One of the highlights of the WiiM amp is its feature-rich app. It's packed with numerous settings that allow for fine-tuning to one's preferences. As a programmer, I find the addition of an API particularly appealing, opening up possibilities for customizations and integrations, which is a rare find in audio equipment. Customer Support: The customer support from WiiM is exceptionally responsive. It's reassuring to know that any queries or issues will be promptly and efficiently addressed, adding an extra layer of confidence in the product. Design and Build: The design and build quality of the WiiM amp are top-notch, especially for a device priced at $300. It sports a sleek and modern aesthetic that doesn't just look good but also feels premium, adding a touch of elegance to my setup. Value for Money: In terms of value, the WiiM amp hits the sweet spot. It delivers excellent sound quality and a host of features that are usually found in higher-priced models. The versatility and functionality offered by the app justify the price, making it a smart investment for anyone looking for quality audio without breaking the bank. Recommendation: For anyone considering a mid-tier or a PC 2.1 system, I wholeheartedly recommend the WiiM amp. Its combination of sound quality, features, responsive customer support, and price makes it an excellent choice for both casual listeners and audio enthusiasts. Whether you're upgrading your current setup or building a new one, the WiiM amp is definitely worth considering.

Very attractive and unobtrusive design. It's very easy to set up, though pairing the unit to my phone took a few tries. The WiiM app is required to provide the best control of the amp, especially for streaming from one's phone. Multiple EQ presets are provided in the app, and the EQ settings can also be customized. Connection to a smart TV via the provided HDMI eARC cable provides high-quality audio and allows control of the amp with the TV remote. An optical cable is also provided. A subwoofer output is provided. Audio quality is outstanding, with great channel separation and 60 watts per channel, which is more than adequate for most rooms or speaker pairs. An amazing little unit, great for almost any installation!

I've used a Wiim Pro for the last few years on my various systems and have never had a complaint. The device works well with my Android devices and plays natively with my iPad. Now, I've come to a stage where I need to downsize my primary rig for headphone use, so my beloved vintage amps, receivers, and mountain of speakers are headed for storage. At least I have my hoard of vinyl to dive into. I'm running the WiiM Amp's speaker outputs to a custom modded Monolith speaker switch that I have added 6.3mm terminals to to drive various HPs with independent volume control. The switch itself has a stable 5 ohm circuit, so it shouldn't put too much strain on the amp (though it is rated for your standard 8 ohm load). Set up is easy and familiar for anyone that has already used the WiiM ecosystem. For those that are just diving in, it is pretty straightforward, though you do need to add another app to your library. While there is only one RCA input on the WiiM Amp I already have a switch box in my chain to handle duties from my phono pre-amp, CD Player, Cassette, etc, so that isn't the end of the world. What I love about this unit is that I can control everything from my device: volume, basic EQ, and line source (between my RCA switch output, the Coax imput, and the built-in streamer). Whether accessing from my phone, my Samsung tablet, my Chromebook, or my iPad, I can make most adjustments without having to get up from my seat. Anyone who is into vintage gear will find this point alone both sacriligious and freeing. I've only been using this set up for the last 48 hrs since the unit arrived and I must say that the built-in EQ easily makes this a super versatile system. It's hard for someone like me who collects vintage rigs to admit that a compact, modern amp can perform toe to toe with my favorite gear from yesteryear. Granted, I haven't tried my Pioneer HPM 100s or my Klipsch La Scalas on it, but for my headphone collection: so far, so good.

This little amp is so cool. I like the sound, the app, how easy it is to use. It’s a very smart and good power amp. I use it for my 2.1 home theatre but also stream music off it. It lacks HDMI ports because it’s small, but nothing a HDMI switch can’t fix. For $299 it’s a steal

Mycket bra . Många inställningar för ljud. Tog enstund att kommaunderfund med.

Produkt nie jest bez wad, ale można je wybaczyć w tej cenie. Pojedyncza dioda Led oraz kropeczki od głośności to jedyne informacje poza aplikacją, które można odczytać z urządzenia, dioda led wskazuje na jakim kanale jesteśmy kolorami, które niestety nawet nie są unikalne, tzn. na zielono świeci się gdy jesteśmy w trybie optycznym albo RCA, dopiero w aplikacji można to sprawdzić. Pilot korzysta z WiFi, więc nie dość, że bateria trzyma bardzo krótko (CR2032) to jeszcze budzi to pewne obawy. U mnie gra z monitorami Q Acoustics 3020i i jest OK. Początkowo miałem problem z produktem, ale support ze strony Linkplay Technology Inc. stanął na wysokości zadania. Koniec końców kupiłbym ponownie.

This little amplifier is "little" only in its Form Factor and has no business sounding so good being a Class D Power Amplifier. Has plenty of input possibilities and drives some large speakers without a hint of stress. The accompanying software (WiiM Home) is very user-friendly and quite powerful and most importantly for such devices it really works!! In the limited time that I have used it, I have discovered no bugs. Great value for the money!!

昔はDACやオーディオ機器というと高価なイメージがありましたが、今はこれだけの機能を手頃な価格で導入できることに驚きました。実際に使った音質にも大変満足しています。 良かった点 価格が抑えられているだけでなく、音質や機能もしっかりしています。アプリも分かりやすく、好みに合わせて音質を細かく調整できるところが便利です。個人的にはAirPlayを使って、iPhoneから簡単に音楽を飛ばせるところが特に気に入っています。 気になった点 本体に画面がないため、現在の入力や再生状態を本体だけで詳しく確認することはできません。細かな設定や音質調整は基本的にアプリを使うことになります。 手頃な価格で音質、アプリの使いやすさ、ネットワーク再生までそろっており、導入してよかったと思える製品です。

Seller sent out with the seal sticker opened and crumbly already! The model sent is also much older v5 version that was in circulation early 2024! We are now at v7 with revised high layer count pcb and better cooling. Thankfully all works well, for soundbar replacement is much more powerful and musical as it drives my spare ls50 effortlessly. Wiim home app is amazing , snappy and have all the options most audio nerds needed Update: linkplay seller contacted me to find out more and explanation given sounds reasonable that logistics storage is out of their control and so offered a small token as apology.I think this shows me they care about delivering lifestyle products without the lifestyle tax to their customers and value feedback. Updated my ratings as the unit itself works perfectly
