It's a perfect setup for the man in the captain's chair (where pictures are taken from). Not so much for the crew. But they are often just chatting when they're in.

Wiim mini
RPi3 with IQ Audio DAC hat and external drive using Volumio to access my ripped cds
Hoping to replace it all incl the musical fidelity amp as soon as the Wiim amp is available in the uk.

Wiim Pro serving as streamer and preamp. Denon DP300 with Ortofon Red into a Project phono box feeding the line input on the WiiM. WiiM feeds a Topping E30 lite that outputs to a Linn LK100 amp and a pair of Linn Keilidhs. The IPad allows me to see tracks playing cover art while I control from my iPhone.

Here's my current setup.
I switch speakers all the time, love buying used and just try different things.

Currently;
System Audio Saxo 50
Driven by a Marantz SR 7015.

Wiim Pro must've done some thing naughty to be locked up in a cage! BTW, pulling out the speakers a couple of feet from the wall would improve the sound.

Haha! They have been released from jail. The Linns actually sound very good close to the wall. They were designed to sound best 4 to 12” from the rear wall and I have tried them in a variety of locations. Lucky for me cause my wife was opposed to them being any further out. I am quite aware of speaker placement but also I am never afraid to go against conventional wisdom and try things that are often taboo in the world of audio.

Would be great to see some pictures of your setup with WiiM Mini and exact audio configuration to give others some ideas and recommendations.

MY WiiM Pro Plus on top of my integrated amp. Sounds great. Thanks.

Guys I have read an article now that Musical Fidelity made a global partnership with Wiim and gives for free a wiim mini for those who purchase m2si and wiim pro for those that purchase m5si/m6si! This is a great recognition from a traditional and respected hi fi brand.

WiiM Mini is hidden behind the DAC and HDMI Display. DAC drives a pair of JBL studio monitors on stands.

I used this screen from Amazon.

What are you using to drive the screen please? Raspberry PI?

As my setup consists of a DAC and pro studio monitor on either side of my desk, I listen to music while on my computer, always. The DAC auto-switches inputs from the PC (Chromebox) and the WiiM Pro.

Given that there are lots of small HDMI displays available on Amazon for as little as $25, I thought I’d try one as a secondary screen for my PC, and just drag a WiiM monitor app over to it. A very simple solution, without the need for a Raspberry Pi or Android tablet. It also will support touch, if the screen supports it (this one does, though it’s no longer on Amazon).





I’ll work on a simple Chrome extension to support this next week.

This one was available on Amazon this morning for just $25, which is an amazingly good deal.

Hello,
Could you please explain what is the "WiiM monitor app"?
Thank you

You know you can take the plastic film off your Mini, don’t you? I’m sure there’ll be someone out there who will claim it sounds better without it

I think @Brava210 is with me on this one... the film stays on!
