The WiiM Pro is an extremely easy-to-use and affordable way to introduce yourself to streaming.
Everything you need to get you going is in the box, so you don’t have to worry about any extras. We do, of course, recommend upgrading the cables!
WiiM have steadily grown a strong reputation for producing exceptionally easy to use, great sounding hardware for an affordable price - just check out the numerous reviews on YouTube.
Why we like it
Unlike many streaming systems, it's simple to set-up and use with class leading sound quality.
The Wiim Pro is pretty much plug-and-play. Take it out of the box, plug it in and connect to your hifi via a pair of analogue interconnects (a basic, get-you-going pair is included). Pair your phone or tablet via Bluetooth and you can literally start listening to music in under two minutes.
Advanced Features
The WiiM Pro is not just a simple, casual add-on. It’s a fully-fledged streamer with powerful functionality. It integrates with a wide variety of music apps including Tidal, Spotify and Qobuz.
It’s Roon ready, meaning if you have subscribed to Roon and already have a Roon ecosystem in place, the WiiM Pro can act as an 'endpoint', making it perfect for bolting on to your main hifi or as an endpoint on additional music systems.
If you want to take an alternative approach to Roon, and have all your music stored on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive, then the WiiM Pro can act as a 'DLNA receiver', allowing you to stream your music direct from your NAS to your Hi-Fi, all controlled via the intuitive Wiim app.
The WiiM Pro can be connected via Wi-Fi to your network or, as we recommend for best performance, via an Ethernet cable direct to your router.
For Apple device users, compatibility with AirPlay 2 allows for the easy streaming of audio from iPhone, iPad, Mac computer or Apple TV to one or multiple audio devices at the same time. Use Siri on your phone or HomePod to control music selection, volume, and playback!
There is also a powerful 10-band graphic EQ and parametric EQ built in, should you wish to apply multiple equalization such as bass/treble adjustment.
Auto calibration of audio delay - Occasionally connected audio devices on your network may suffer from latency issues due to different hardware, software and DSP processing. To maintain the synchronization of the music playing through each component, the WiiM Pro measures the audio path delays automatically using the built in microphone. A proprietary algorithm is then used to maintain perfect audio synchronization in a wireless multi-room playback with HomePod, Echo, Google Home or other WiiM devices.
Send and Receive
A new August 2023 firmware update now allows you to Airplay (and Bluetooth) from the Wiim Pro to an Airplay/Bluetooth device. So, if you connect a CD player or Turntable to the analogue input for example, you can wirelessly stream the music to a wireless speaker! Nice..What’s Casting?
When you open an App, on your phone or tablet, to play music such Tidal or Spotify, or to watch a video on YouTube, you’ll often see a 'cast' logo, such as Chromecast, on the right. Casting allows you to select a compatible device on your network, in this case the Wiim Pro, and play music through that device. Your phone or tablet then simply becomes a remote control as the Wiim Pro can stream music directly via your router depending on how the app is configured.
Multiroom features
With the WiiM Pro you can create a comprehensive multiroom sound system by linking to your existing devices such as AirPlay 2 speakers, Amazon Echo or any Google Home device. Chromecast devices are also included.
This versatility allows you to group any combination of these devices together for synchronized music throughout your home. Creating a seamless listening experience throughout your home, all controlled via the WiiM app on your smartphone or tablet. The possibilities are practically endless as long as there's a compatible speaker connected.

The perfect partner
The WiiM Pro easily connects to anything with either a digital or analogue input. While it has a good DAC already, a considerable upgrade can be made by using a separate, standalone DAC. Connection is simple by using either the optical or, our preferred connection, coaxial output.

"Great Product- Stunning Value"
Bought the WiiM Pro to stream to a hi-end external DAC and have been amazed by the simple, trouble free setup and the ease of use. However, the icing on the cake (and a real surprise considering the price) is the sound quality. Thoroughly recommended.
