This is an awesome price on this highly regarded audio streamer. It's the lowest I've ever seen it. Normal price is $139 and occasionally drops down to $118.

Tonnes of info online about it, if you've never heard of it. I own both this and the Wiim Pro and they both work incredibly well. I'm tempted to get another. I stream Tidal and music from my NAS with them. I bought the Pro for Chromecast support it adds as we also have YouTube Music that the family prefer to use.

The Wiim Pro is also on sale for $186.15 here - also a great price (normally $219). The Wiim Pro adds Chromecast support, wired Ethernet port and additional I/O options.

    These things rock!

    The price is solid, go for it!

    As well as its functions, its also notable how much better this little streamer sounds compared to a normal Bluetooth set up. I use mine attached to my home theatre, and it sounds great streaming into the Amp and outputted from amp in direct mode to 2 floor speakers. Noticeably better than Bluetooth from phone.

    Also links with Alexa.

    Great little gadget.

      Noob question - if I have one of this, can I stream from my Android phone to an AirPlay device like Sonos?

      • zxcvb on 16/06/2023 - 12:29

        Unlikely. The pro model will let you stream to it if that pro can connect to your sonos device. So you can connect the pro via optical or hdmi if your Sonos device has it like beam, playbase, playbar. So it really depends if you can connect the pro device to your Sonos device.

  • bargainshooter on 16/06/2023 - 12:25

    Would an audio device connected to Wiim Pro (say a record player via a pre-amp) allow me to stream to an airplay and/or chromecast speaker? Does it allow both chromecast and airplay speakers to coexist?

    • zxcvb on 16/06/2023 - 12:32

      I would think so. It should present airplay or Chromecast as receivers and let you connect to it. I haven't tried it but it should be possible. It's kinda like Spotify that can transmit to Chromecast and airplay devices. So it sees my amp, Chromecast audio, Sonos airplay devices and I can pick the device to play to.

    • watts on 16/06/2023 - 13:24

      I don't think so.

      I think the Wiim can only stream an anlogue input like that to another Wiim, not any old chormecast or airplay speaker.

      I'm happy to be proven wrong because i'd buy one in a flash to get my turntable playing over airplay in other rooms. I currently do it using old iphone running Airchord app and an ADC but it's a bit clunky.

      • zxcvb on 16/06/2023 - 13:39

        Yes no analogue. From the product description, DOES NOT SUPPORT :
        Transmit the Aux-in audio to AirPlay 2, Echo or Google Home devices, Group with other Sonos speakers in the Sonos App, TIDAL MQA (in Beta testing)

        • bargainshooter on 16/06/2023 - 13:44

          OK - so what about an analog to toslink —> Wiim —> Airplay/chromecast speaker?

        • watts on 16/06/2023 - 15:13

          I recon 'Aux-In' is referring to both Line-In and SPDIF In, so no digital either

          It already digitises the analogue input so it makes no sense if it couldn't transmit analogue sources to other speakers if it could do it for digitial inputs.

          As I said, I think the inputs can only be transmitted to other wiiims. this seems to support that.

          https://wiim.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/720005…

          Kind of makes sense because I think transmitting Airplay is limited to ONLY apple devices. I can't think of a non-apple device that's capable of it anyway.

  • zxcvb on 16/06/2023 - 12:26

    The pro is the replacement for Google Chromecast audio
    . Nice product and feature set. If you are on Android I'd suggest the pro paying the extra. It was $215 last checked, so a good price.

    • bigrizz on 16/06/2023 - 15:07

      Yes, I agree. We have a mixed household. I'm an Android fanboy and the rest of the family are Apple fans, so the Pro works for all of us.

        We're all iphones, ipads and macbooks but use Spotify and google home stuff so need both. Pretty tempting to sell up my collection of Chromecast Audios and Airport Expresses and get a few Wiim Pro's instead.

          Same! I've been hoarding a few Chromecast Audios since they were discontinued but they're getting long in the tooth and I've never been a fan of the way Google does multiroom audio. You can't add/remove rooms on the fly. They also nobbled how you control volume on groups after the lawsuit with Sonos to make it hard to control individual zones. Lack of gapless playback to Chromecast is also annoying for DJ mixes. Wiim does gapless really well and controlling zones is well implemented. I'm convincing myself more and more as I write this!

  • PeteBog on 16/06/2023 - 12:33

    I don't know much about audio stuff, but would the 3.5 Aux input show limitations vs Optical?

    I currently have my TV sending audio to the sound bar via an Optical cable, so would putting this in the middle (3.5 Aux from tv to this WiiM Mini AirPlay2, then WiiM Mini AirPlay2 outputting via Optical to the sound bar) cause loss of sound quality?

    I'm trying to find something to send TV audio via bluetooth to headphones later at night so the sound bar doesn't wake everyone up.

      Forget about any quality issues - you are far more likely to introduce lip sync delays with that kind of chain.

      Depending on your TV, you might not even be able to output both digital and analogue outputs simultaneously.

      You could look at a Toslink splitter and a pair of headphones with a wired digital input, such as Bluedio.

    • isaidhey on 16/06/2023 - 14:27

      If you have an apple tv in this setup you can Bluetooth from that to your headphones

    Love this, paired with a Fosi Audio amp and a couple of Yamaha NS-AW294 outdoor speakers. Works a charm.

    Neighbours however do not….

    • rodericb on 16/06/2023 - 17:53

      I just got the cheap pro, which i will hook up to a Bose SA-3 and a Jamo sat/sub in my garage. Rock! It's hard to find anything like this which has Chromecast. The newish Bose AMP looks good but is $1000…

  • Proliferation on 17/06/2023 - 12:32

    These things come pretty well recommended- and some quick research revealed they're working on Roon certification for the Pro model, which fits my envisioned use-case so I took a chance and bought one (thanks OP!); until the WiiM update comes through though, can anyone recommend a good interim streaming method/service? My music library is currently non-digital (consisting of unripped CDs), however I've got a basic NAS + a mini PC ready to otherwise go that I can use.
