Let's hope it arrives on Amazon here in Italy in a reasonable time
If this is how the PRO + is to be, then it is bit disappointing for the PRO users like me.Audiophonics listed price: 250 euros

WIIM PRO PLUS Streamer
The WiiM Pro+ (PLUS) is a compact, extremely versatile and high-performance audiophile network player that transforms a conventional audio system into a connected system.www.audiophonics.fr
The WiiM Pro+ is a compact, extremely versatile and high-performance audiophile streamer that transforms a conventional audio system into a connected system. It opens the door to music streaming via WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0, and is compatible with numerous transmission modes such as DLNA/UPnP, AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Alexa Music Cast, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect. Several units can also be used in combination to set up a true multi-room system, with full remote control via the WiiM App mobile application or a voice assistant such as Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri.
The WiiM Pro+ is an improved version of the WiiM Pro, incorporating a better DAC and ADC as well as more efficient OPAs. Its performance, particularly with regard to its line input and output, has been revised upwards, with improved SNR and THD+N for even more accurate and transparent sound reproduction. The main improvements to the WiiM Pro+ are :
- A better ADC for line input: WiiM Pro+ uses a TI Burr-Brown PCM1861 ADC, supporting 32bit 192kHz PCM streams at output, with an SNR of 110dB.
- Ultra-low-noise clock, power supply and circuitry: The WiiM Pro+ features an ultra-low-noise clock and power supply and a PCB design optimised to achieve a THD+N of less than -110dB for the analogue output.
- AKM DAC and TI OPAs for improved line output quality: A new-generation AKM AK4493SEQ DAC is now used to achieve a very low level of distortion and a wide dynamic range thanks to AKM Velvet Sound technology. This chip supports PCM streams up to 768kHz and DSD up to DSD512 while achieving an SNR of 120dB (A-wt) and a THD+N of -110dB.
- Remote control: A voice remote control is now included, allowing you to control the WiiM Pro+ from the comfort of your sofa, without having to take out your phone.
I don’t think that’s saying anything different from what has already been discussed here in the forumIf this is how the PRO + is to be, then it is bit disappointing for the PRO users like me.
Why?at 220 dollars or 250 euro significantly changes the situation
U r right Brantome, but it was my expectation and believed that the PRO + that for sale would be improvised than the pre production beta unitI don’t think that’s saying anything different from what has already been discussed here in the forum
OkU r right Brantome, but it was my expectation and believed that the PRO + that for sale would be improvised than the pre production beta unit
Yeah. Even at those prices, it’s still cheaper than had you bought a Pro and a budget DAC, cables etc. And still much cheaper than devices that might be seen as its competitors.Please do not be too angry with me...but if a price difference in the range of ≈ 20 € or $ or £ is a decision maker I would look at other things in my life before I look at a streaming device. Hope it reads as harsh as it is meant.

I’m sure you must have one of your mother’s sayings to cover this - away and bile yer heid springs to mind![]()
Welcome your thoughts and glad that there would be other models later this year.OkI‘ve just always read what has been said as the Pro+ having an improved DAC and analogue circuitry, nothing more. Ok it also has more space around the coax socket and is gloss black, but those are relatively minor if not cosmetic changes. I think we’ll have to wait for the other two(?) models that have been talked about for later in the year to see if they have taken on board other suggestions. Cheers
TBH I thought it will replace the Pro immediately. And a Mini Plus later this year.I bet that, in 2025 the Wiim Pro will be gone and only the Pro+ will remain.
Nb: I just bought a second Wiim Pro for the living room after the one in the bedroom ...![]()
Oh no … yuck. I don’t like gloss on electronics … stick to matte black!and is gloss black, but those are relatively minor if not cosmetic changes.
Is that right?!TBH I thought it will replace the Pro immediately. And a Mini Plus later this year.
No idea, but I would expect giving the "Mini Plus" similar features as the current Pro while keeping the Mini chassis - chromecast, more RAM, better CPU, improved digital output and power section, etc.Is that right?!
I can't imagine what the Mini Plus will be. Will there be an additional SIM tray for in-vehicle use![]()
You tend to draw arbitrary conclusions and gloss over …Please do not be too angry with me...but if a price difference in the range of ≈ 20 € or $ or £ is a decision maker I would look at other things in my life before I look at a streaming device. Hope it reads as harsh as it is meant.
