Product Information

Akurate DS : Good warmth in the classic string passages, and in rather large contrast to Topping. While the distorted Kennedy passages feel quite similar to Wiim/Topping's rendition - perhaps a bit kinder. The WiiM app (iOS, Android) is a Linkplay Technology specialty: It’s the foundation for apps used by Andover, Audioengine, and many others. The Songbird app, in fact, works with the WiiM Mini. The WiiM app serves only as a remote control. All music is streamed from the WiiM device, not your phone.

I listened with the WiiM Pro by streaming from Tidal and mostly using its analog stereo output, but also trying the coaxial digital output to compare its built-in DAC to my integrated amp’s own DAC. The WiiM wireless hifi adapter lets you stream music from a variety of popular services, including TuneInRadio, Deezer, Qobuz, Napster, iHeartRadio, Global Radio, and more, all through the dedicated WiiM App. Internal DAC: Here I was a bit excited about whether the internal DAC could tame the overzealous bright sound in the recording, but actually it's more that I lose some insight into the recording that dominates To stream Bluetooth to the Wiim Mini, we must first switch the Mini’s operational mode to Bluetooth using the Wiim Home app. On advanced codecs, Wiim gives us only AAC. No aptX. No LDAC. No shame (at this price point).Topping E50: Very good detailed guitar from Ian Anderson in the intro. At the same time, it is not embellished with a moderately good recording

remember to turn the tube stage off when you are done listening and keep it dusted off as the showpiece it is. And all this for NOK 1,490,- is a bargain, and it still seems as if the manufacturer is signaling that they are just doing the heating. A little giant that keeps growing Nigel Kennedy. Vivaldi: The New Four Seasons: Summer: 8 Fear – Vivldi: The New Four Seasons. 16/44.1

Part of your ecosystem

But the point is at the same time that it is perfectly possible to use a Wiim Mini alone, especially if this is not the primary streamer in the home, but for example an element in a multi-room setup. And if the need arises, you can upgrade with an external DAC over time. Wiim Mini with Topping E50 against Linn Akurate DS For those that use Tidal, you may appreciate the "Tidal Connect" feature that allows you to use the native Tidal app to control the streamer. Use the Wiim app to set things up initially, then use the native Tidal app thereafter. Easily the best way to control the streamer, IMO. I see there is a Spotify Connect as well so assume that works the same way for Spotify users (though I don't believe Spotify has yet offered CD quality tier to its users).
