WiiM Mini AirPlay 2 Wireless Audio Player, Multizone Stereo, Front Speaker, Compatible with Alexa and Siri, High Resolution Audio Streaming from Spotify, Amazon Music, etc.|Black

Very easy to install and versatile usable

If you use SPDIF instead of internal Dac, this little device would let you forget about the expensive BlueSound Node, the troublesome and unstable raspberry pi runs on any OS. This is simply the easiest and best solution by far. The downside would be that it uses it's own app to log into all the music services. You won't be able to browse through the native APP UI from spotify, tidal, qobuz or even amazon music. I haven't tried gapless so I can't put down "it just works" stamp yet! However, hi-res does work as expected. There are some glitches and bugs from Amazon Music though. When comparing to Qobuz, it simply just works as bit perfect. On the Amazon Music HD/UHD I believed it's probably Amazon's fault here. There will be constrain on bitrate and sampling rate if you output from TV because it's running mostly Android OS (ye! I am looking at you Amazon FireTV 4k Stick). You will only get 48k. However, on the Wiim mini is another story. It's better to show 24bit, but sometimes it's not bit perfect. it doesn't always shows properly up to 192k. Due to the inconsistency of Amazon music. Depends on your Dac, your streamer box (a computer, an iphone, tv, or wiim mini) they all behave differently. I can't grasp which one is the "best" solution or claim to be bit perfect here. But Amazon music seems to output hi-res music for sure. Amazon still need to work on their device compatibility issues though. For qobuz, it works like a breeze. Always accurate, and always works! I've had raspberry pi ran through LMS, volumio, audirvana, and roon before. If you want me to choose what's the best solution for sound quality and simplicity, I would choose wiim mini. Although you don't have a roon or audirvana as centralized server. You can't "stream" music to every devices from a home server. You will lose "screen display" feature on your computer or tv. However, you will not bump into audirvana can't switch playback devices or roon constantly having server down issues you need to restart the server. Best of all, you don't need to deal with LMS or volumio just another update that something "doesn't work" again. For the sound quality, I compare to Qobuz, it is indeed a close match. To be easy to use and bit perfect, Qobuz is obviously the best choice. Amazon music comes in second with this wiim mini. Best of all was the Alexa integration. It's now possible to tell Alexa to play music, and on wiim mini side, it starts to play bit perfect hi-res music. That's simply the missing piece from the echo eco system that Amazon did not have on their own products unless you've gone for Echo Studio. Amazon really need to do some catch up. It will sound better than you use Amazon FireTV 4k Sticks plug into the AVR before TV. Due to "compatibility" issues, versions of FireTV OS, and FireTV hardware. Not all FireTV works right out of box. In addition, not all AVR works with FireTV stick either. So I am grateful that Wiim Mini simply skips that whole route all together. The weak link would be spotify connect (not very sure if spotify connect is ever going to support bit perfect when spotify finally release hi res audio). Tidal works okay but obviously your DAC needs to decode MQA because wiim mini can't do that from internal DAC. Best experiences comes from Qobuz and Amazon Music HD/UHD. Bluetooth was alright. When you can stream through WIFI, why bother with Bluetooth? However, the streaming service is very limited. It won't support even something like Pandora just yet! You really need to use Airplay2 to playback those type of music services.

Excelente producto. Me sirvio para darle nueva vida a una Bose Soundock 10. Hace poco consegui in adaptador bluetooth 5.0 para esta bocina. Queria una manera de conectarlo por medio de AirPlay, este producto WiiM es muy facil de usar y tiene un sonido excelente. Puedo usar la version Losless de la musica Apple y suena muy bien

Très heureux de mon achat. J’écoute beaucoup Spotify et après un déménagement je souhaitais profiter des mes enceintes amplifiées Kanto dans ma chambre et Audioengine dans le salon avec Spotify Connect. La qualité sonore est nettement supérieur car il permet d’utiliser le WIFI. Avec Spotify connect, le changement d’appareil se fait sans tracas. De plus, il incorpore le Airplay 2 d’Apple. Lorsque j’écoute un film sur Netflix sur l’Apple TV, il se branche automatiquement sur les enceintes. Fait la même chose pour les autres services (Tidal, Google, Alexa, etc.). Son DAC fait aussi du bon travail selon les critiques sur Internet. J’en ai donc acheté un deuxième deux semaines après le premier achat! La compagnie fait aussi des mises à jours pour améliorer son profuit, ce qui est apprécié.

Bien sûr 😊 Voici un avis positif, naturel et crédible : Titre : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent petit streamer audio Commentaire : Très satisfait de ce WiiM Mini !
