New construction with 9 zones - Is Wiim a good choice?

[RockstarATL]

Hello.
I hope if someone can help me to decide if WiiM or which WiiM is good choice for me. I have 9 zones in new construction. I will be using Spotify most of the time to listen to music. Is it a good idea to buy 9 WiiM devices for set up or should I go with one that has multi-zone amp? Is WiiM mini good enough for background music? Thank you in advance.

I believe a better way to get a technical and accurate answer to your question would be to ask Linkplay directly.

I am currently running a multiroom with 6 WiiM devices and can play Spotify from all speakers with no problem. (This does not include the Mini, however.)

The Mini has lower CPU performance than the other WiiMs, so it may be safer to choose a Pro or higher model for multi-room playback.

As long as the same network is available in all rooms of your house without delay, I think 9 multi-rooms will work fine. However, I won't know until I actually try it. (I'd recommend an Ethernet connection if at all possible.)

Also, WiiM is beta testing low latency playback for multirooms. In my test yesterday it worked fine. But please note that again, Mini does not support low-latency playback.
