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
Olá amigo. Comprei um WiiM Pro Plus à uma semana e tenho mexido um pouco na app, obrigado, aprendi muito com o teu video, uma muito util "Walkaround Tour" aprendi bastante com ela, é sempre mais fácil com quem já sabe. Muito obrigado (Thank you very much) A big hug from Portugal
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.
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!
Over a year with Wiim Pro Plus and I still think this is my best purchase in audio. Its intwrnal DAC is so good that I have no wish to look for external DAC. User interface and integration with Tidal is also top! ❤
Very helpful presentation ❤. I tried looking at the app before buying a Pro. Unhelpfully the app insists on searching for your device before it let's you do anything on the app 😢 Not helpful but it seems common practice ime.
You're so right about reviewers almost never going through software features. I think that every time a reviewer glosses over it - so, good on you for that. I have a rarely used wiim amp that i recently set up near my kitchen. It only has a standby or on mode, but the good thing about it is that i can connect by bluetooth on whatever device I'm on and it fires up and plays right away. I haven't explored the software much at all, so thanks for the cursory look. I mainly use plex, so it would be great if they will support it one day soon. I've had serious issues with PLEX's playlists. Can you easily import and export playlists with wiim? It sounds like it segregates streaming and DLNA playlists. Well this went on too long. Time to get back to work. 😅 - Cheers
Hi well done and informative video. Thank you. I just got the Wiim Pro Plus and I've been enjoying but definitely still trying to get around the Wiim app. Not sure if this question will make sense, but I'll give it a go. If you're using the Wiim app from your phone to play on your stereo receiver and let's say you select Qobuz from the browser tab, do you play directly from there or do you then switch over to the device tab to see what's playing and/or make any necessary adjustments? I'm getting kinda hung up on that part. Hope it made sense and you or someone chimes in for advice. Thx again. Cheers! 🥂
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.
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.
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!
So when accessing a dnla server, we get no album art? Just a simple list of albums, or artists, etc? It will look no different than the list I get from JRiver media player for example? I was hoping for more than that :( My squeezebox will give me a simple list, so it would seem I would not benefit much from the Wiim. Do appreciate your time putting this video together, very helpful!
Bubblepnp on Android gives a good experience using dlna; as I use iPhone I wasn’t happy with the dlna apps. LMS with UPNP plugin makes the wiim appear as a player with full artwork and artist info via material interface. I didn’t keep the mini as my network player also appears as a player on LMS.
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.
Simon please do a review of the new 60 watt Streaming WiiM AMP if you can get one quicker in your country.. I got on WiiM’s list to get notified when they are back in stock for the American market., Best2You..
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.
An excellent and comprehensive introduction to the App M

Been wondering about the wiim app, thanks!

I have the Wiim mini and it’s good enough. I like the small puck form factor.
I liked that too Doug. I’ve got mine going into desktop active fiio sp3 speakers
The PEQ could probably be it’s own video. That is something that Bluesound and others don’t offer.
love your preset #10!

Спасибо, в русскоязычном ютубе даже близко нет такой информации. Спасибо большое за обзор, вчера купил wiim pro plus, пойду настраивать
Thanks, very useful and well presented, I've subbed.
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?
Great video thank you
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.
Super helpful thank you!
For NAS im currently using Emby. Their app is just nicer to use imo. You can set DNLA to control the WIIM

If you Listen to a song on the radio. Is it possible to start a search for that song in one of the streaming Accounts like Qobuz or Tidal?
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!
Thanks Simon. Is it possible to output via optical and line out at the same time?
Thanks too, I don’t think it is because of the output settings being one or other, and I never tried, but on wiim forum I bet someone will have tried.
Hi' Can you play the Sirius Xm service on the Wiim player?
So when accessing a dnla server, we get no album art? Just a simple list of albums, or artists, etc?
It will look no different than the list I get from JRiver media player for example?
I was hoping for more than that :( My squeezebox will give me a simple list, so it would seem I would not benefit much from the Wiim.

I didn’t keep the mini as my network player also appears as a player on LMS.
Certain songs show that they are playing but there is no sound?
Hi Simon, I have a question: does the app display the playing music’s format, bit depth, and sampling rate?
I’m not sure tbh, I haven’t used it for a while as I’ve had other gear plugged in. I’d recommend wiim forum.
Why do I play 24 bit on Qobuz but on the wiim app it still says 16 bit???
Weird. I just saw that RUclips unsubscribed me. I thought you quit like a year ago. Well, it's remedied now. - Cheers
Wiim font too small to read.
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.
Is it still possible to listen to BBC radio stations, because I understand they have changed their transmission methods recently. Thanks bud
Yea tunein radio you can access all the bbc stations.
Did you have a flu while recording this video Simon?
Edit: Oh, haha, a minute later you mentioned it..
Yes I did thanks. Still got the remnants of it. Pesky little things…lol.
👍🌟👍
