Music streamer | £219 | whf.cm/WiiMProPlus
‘WIIM’ is the rather awkward brand name adopted by Linkplay for a (quickly expanding) range of home audio streaming products. ‘Pro Plus’ is the only slightly less awkward name of this budget music streamer, and is the most recent, and top of the range, WiiM offering. Like quite a few similar products, it is designed either to bring high-quality audio streaming smarts to music set-ups that pre-date the technology, or to improve those systems that aren’t much good at it.
Rivals? Well, earlier this year we heard and admired the £449 Cambridge Audio MXN10 – at that time the most affordable hi-fi streamer we had come across since the Bluesound Node (2021) and Audiolab 6000N Play. You don’t need to be any kind of mathematics savant to realise that this WiiM Pro Plus is less than half that price – which means it has the makings of a bargain.
