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.

I have long wanted to stream CD quality music but could not justify the cost of a pair of Amazon Echo Studios, or pair of Sonos etc. Streaming to Amazon Echo shows, Dots etc has always sounded disappointing. Even plugging an echo using the headphone outs into the rear of a decent amp connected to good quality passive speakers sounded muddy. I also already had some pretty decent passive speakers that it seemed a shame not to make use of. For £299 I could hook up my older audio kit.When I read about this device being released it ticked all my boxes and in short I am very impressed with sound quality, ease of use and build quality. Setup was quick, firmware updates are seamless. The supplied remote control is great with a built in push-button microphone to control the Wiim using Alexa integration. This too works very well. You do not have to use the app on your phone to control the Wiim amp, but it is required for setup and updates.So I now have the Wiim amp connected to a pair of decent passive speakers, and the Wiim streams HD and Ultra HD music from my Amazon Music account (free 3 month subscription right now!). And it sounds brilliant. As good as my actual CD player. It can also stream FLAC files ripped from my old CD collection on a memory stick in the rear USB (yet to try this, only had it one day). Great if you have more obscure old CDs that are not streamed by Amazon.Special mention for the Wiim Home app - it just works really well, very neat. A nice feature is that you can install it on multiple android phones and they all retain independent control of the Wiim amp (ie my wife can use her phone to change what I is playing). They all show what is currently playing with album art, current audio quality, EQ etc.One other advantage for me is that the Wiim amp automatically goes to standby with a very low power usage when inactive (unlike my old amp that I would inevitably forget to switch off).One thing I have not managed to figure out is how to show what is playing on the Wiim amp on my old Echo Show. I have read it can be done using the Amazon Alexa app and setting up Combine speakers with Multi-room music (MRM) but this might compromise audio quality at the present time (I also read a fix to the lower audio quality when used this way is planned).If you buy this get a couple of AAA batteries for the remote (they are not supplied and you need the remote to complete setup).To summarise - amazing functionality, value and quality. Nothing not to like.Update: To address a few issues reported in other reviews:1. “In standby, the amplifier heats up and consumes about 8 W”. This was fixed in a recent firmware update. I read that the power usage in standby is now about 3W. In standby my Wiim Amp is only slightly warm to the touch.2. “there is a constant hum audible from the chassis”. My Wiim amp produces no audible hum in standby. On the Wiim forum Wiim Support stated “A very small number of units from our first manufacturing batch exhibit a low humming noise due to the power transformer. This issue has been resolved in subsequent batches. “.

I purchased the WiiM amp from Amazon.com(US) in early December and was so impressed I purchased a second unit from Amazon.ca as soon as it was available here in Canada in January. Such is the luxury afforded by such a reasonable price!I use them in a multi room set up via Airplay 2. Both units are extremely stable on my WiFi and awake instantly when I send them music. I am using an vintage pair of Tannoy Revolution Minis and a new pair of KEF Q150. Both amps perform extremely well with these speakers. I have also added subwoofers (purchased used) and the app controls for subwoofer make this a snap. I tried the amp with a pair of Klipsch RP600m that are very efficient and the house was rockin’.To test the sound quality, I have also played uncompressed FLAC and MQA files via Tidal Connect. Very impressive! I think if you have a large room and like to listen to it LOUD then this amp might be straining. For 95% of listening it is exceptional. And it is only just over $400!!This is perfect if you are adding rooms and, with a good pair of speakers, will slay any soundbar ( it even comes with an HDMI cable and supports HDMI Arc). This streaming amp would be great in building a budget audiophile 2.1 system. Buy this and invest the savings in good efficient speakers.Some commenters mention that they suspect they had received an open box. Having purchased two units, I noticed that the outside sealing tabs on both boxes were barely attached to the point of falling off. I think it is probably just a factory packaging issue.

Depois de um primeiro contacto com o WiM Amp que não foi bem sucedido, a unidade vinha com alguns problemas, provávelmente devido ao transporte, foi-me enviada uma segunda unidade e aqui quero deixar o meu apreço à equipa pós venda do fabricante pelo seu profissionalismo e apoio.Quanto á minha experiencia destes poucos dias com o WiM Amp, apenas veio confirmar as informações que tinha lido e que me levaram à sua compra.Um aparelho tudo em um, o que às vezes não é a melhor solução, mas neste caso foi perfeitamente conseguida.Construção robusta com bons materiais,qualidade de som acima do que se poderia esperar neste nivel de preço, uma app extremamente completa, um comando simples mas funcional, um streamer e dac completam o conjunto.Na minha utilização diária senti a falta de entradas balanceadas XLR um dac com melhor resolução (como no WiM Pro+) e descodificação de ficheiros DSD.Para quem não necessite destas funcionalidades é um amp que recomendo vivamente.
