I just bought the WiiM amp Pro this Monday and replaced my NAD c315BEE which is the same as the NAD c316 V2 BEE. I have two psb B1 speakers. From my experience the sound is slightly hollower/weaker on the bass from the factory and I think it's because the NAD delivers a bit more Watts than the WiiM amp. However by using the equalizer in the WiiM app and setting it to acoustic I could find my basses back. On top of that you can plug an active subwoofer on the WiiM amp pro which allows for even stronger bass if you need so. I was using the NAD USB wireless DAC 1 and I must say the DAC in the WiiM amp pro is a lot better/cleaner. My only issue so far is that Im streaming the audio from my Mac mini connected to my video projector on the other side of the room and I have delay between the sound and the WiiM amp and I havent figured out how to fix that for now without using my former wireless NAD DAC and connecting it to the RCA to the back of the WiiM. Overall the confort of usage is amazing compared to the NAD that I had to manually turn on and off because it was heating even in idle and had no remote control for volume control. The WiiM has a remote control for sound level and turn on off and you can leave it in Idle it doesn't consume too much. Also you can directly turn it on by simply selecting a song in Spotify on your mobile phone and that's really really great. Overall Im really happy and besides this lack of basses from the factory setting it's easily fixable. On a subjective level maybe the sound from the NAD was a bit fatty and on the WiiM a bit more sharp but I guess it's a class A/B vs class D amp issue.
