Aww man! Just bought the Wiim on the $80 sale! I am liking it. Favorite feature is the easy setup and use with NAS/DLNA. So nice to have the ability to play my stuff without having an entire collection on my phone or tablet. I do wish there was a feature for grabbing artwork. Looks like the only ones that show up are files with art attached.

Excellent as usual. Here is a tip for your Wiim. Rather than a heavy weight, I use a long strip of double sided velcro tape 10mm wide. This you can wrap right over the top of it and underneath whatever your Wiim is sitting on. Stays put and should not fall off if you pull it tight enough. Available as garden ties from various retailers.

How do I use a >streamer< to play music at the work regardless if I'm on the phone or in my car. Can a streamer be a stand alone source of content or do I need to buy a burner phone and leave it at work...?

@e-zeescrossovers6188 Год назад
Wiim pro is coming, with proposed msrp of $150. It's going to be a clear winner above this and the original wiim mini. It's close enough to just hold off and wait. Wiim pro brings increases from original mini's dual core to quad core cpu, jumps from 128mb ram to 512mb. Adds 12v trigger out, rca in, rca out, ethernet/LAN, coax out, separate spdif in +out, headphone out, remote control. Plus some new streaming platform compatability such as chromecast audio. It looks like a top shelf component and worth the extra $60. Visually, it's square and looks very similar to topping a50/d50 in size and rounded corner profile, but of course in plastic case.

I'm sure they're using the same framework. Wiim seems more mature and established. I had a few hiccups with my Wiim but it was mostly on my end and has to tweak my WiFi router settings.
@e-zeescrossovers6188
@e-zeescrossovers6188 Год назад
Not only are the frameworks for many of these apps, and their general platform the same, they often work with each others hardware. Wiim and Arylic are the best two (hardware and app) performers currently. Right now I'm listening to my Arylic s10 into a Rotel 2-ch amp, being controlled by the wiim app. Arylic uses 4stream app. They are both great. If your streamer location will allow connection to ethernet, than the arylic s10 is the choice. If wifi only, than the wiim is great. If you can wait until unknown date in November, the wiim pro will be released adding ethernet, more processing power, and additional connection options. It will be the overall winner.

@tanachip
@tanachip Год назад
@@marttiliikala7330 But the difference is, the WiiM Mini is released by LinkPlay directly, whereas the company that makes this machine probably licensed the LinkPlay's software module. This means that LinkPlay will continue to push software updates to the WiiM Mini, whereas it will not do so for the new device, unless the company of the new device pays for the update. Remember, LinkPlay is a software company first, so they will develop for other companies only when they are paid to do so...

I also think it improves the sound of at least some components, but that may be no more than placebo effect and I'm sure many of you will tell me I'm talking b*llocks. They also work as a neat little travel adapter for taking on your holidays.

Hi Randy, I really enjoy watching your videos. There are two things that I think would be great if you'd add them to your reviews. First, it would be nice to know if the reviewed Bookshelf Speakers could be used in a nearfield environment and second why not rank all the reviewed DACS and Speakers in your Tier List? Wish you all the best from Germany. Take care! :)
@e-zeescrossovers6188
@e-zeescrossovers6188 Год назад
Ranking into tiers is a more honest and objective method. Within tiers, similar products will have small tradeoffs good and bad in comparison with others. Different people prioritize features differently. I'm not trying to argue with you, just sharing why some people like myself prefer a tiered evaluation. If Randy says product A is better than B because of 1 feature that's important to him, then I go by product A, when the feature I want is actually better in product B. For me personally, a tier gets the viewer into a ballpark, and lets them make decisions more tuned to their needs. Also prices change frequently. It's easy to prefer 1 product based upon price difference, but when prices change the other way, that preference would no longer be valid. The tiered system is more forgiving of price fluctuation.

You can have an external dac with this one because there is an optical output.

Hello, between the wiim mini and the allo digione, which one would you recommend? Thank you very much, I enjoy your videos
@e-zeescrossovers6188
@e-zeescrossovers6188 Год назад
I dont think that's a fair comparison. This and wiim are standalone plug and play. Allo digione requires you to configure a raspberri pi and possibly incorporate additional devices and cards. Cumulatively it's much more money. I like Raspberry pi steamers a lot but that is a different market. My favorite raspberry pi setup is actually just the $15 pi zero W w/ usb output straight into a DAC. No need for any add on cards or more expense if you already have a DAC.

is there a mini streamer that has a digital coax output? My Amp can only accept up to 24bit 96khz input via Toslink but can accept 24 bit 192khz via digital coax.

Nexum TuneBox 2 has a digital coaxial output and a mini-optical/analog output (like the old Chromecast audio). It’s set-up is similar to the WiiM (but fussier in my experience) You can find on eBay , but it’s a crapshoot.i have four, three i still use, one I gave up on trying to get it connected reliably. You can get a signal converter, optical to coaxial - those are cheap and would do the trick.

Can the Wiim mini read memory cards or hard drives? This can (and suspect the mini NOT). That is a huge advantage

No. The WiiM can access NAS drives and shared folders but has no USB port, other than for power. Here's hoping for a WiiM Pro Mk2 with USB input.
