Features

WiFi Certified: The WiiM Mini Audio Streamer is WiFi certified with support for dual-band 2.4GHZ/5GHz WiFi (802.11ac), allowing you to wirelessly connect to your home or office WiFi network router and ISP (internet service provider). By connecting the WiiM Mini Audio Streamer to your WiFi network and ISP, you get access to a variety of online music services and internet radio from the WiiM Home App, as well as AirPlay 2 functionality and DLNA compatibility.

• WiFi setup can be done through the WiiM Home App (for Apple iOS or Android OS) on your compatible smartphone or tablet device.
• WiFi setup can also be done using AirPlay 2 and the Apple iOS Home App on your compatible Apple iPhone or iPad device.

Texas Instruments (TI) PCM 5121 DAC: The WiiM Mini Audio Streamer features an integrated Texas Instruments (TI) PCM 5121 DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for high quality sound with a signal-to-noise ratio of 102dB, dynamic range of 96dB, and and total harmonic distortion of 0.009%. Its capable of playing 2ch stereo 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio files from online music services such as Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and more.

Auto Calibration: The WiiM Mini Audio Streamer's connected amp, receiver, or speaker may have different audio path latency due to different hardware, software and DSP processing. To maintain audio synchronization of each component, WiiM incorporates auto calibration. By leveraging a built-in microphone and proprietary algorithm, the entire audio path latency is measured automatically when the WiiM is connected with your integrated amplifier, AV receiver, or powered speaker. The latency value will be used to maintain the perfect audio synchronization in wireless multi-room or multi-channel playback.

Adaptive EQ: When adaptive EQ is enabled, the music genre information and other tags included in the audio content are used to adjust the frequency of the WiiM Mini Audio Streamer in real-time by bringing in rich audio to capture every musical detail or make vocals clearer.

Linkplay: Using Linkplay protocol, the WiiM Mini Audio Streamer can be configured in a multi-room application with other WiiM and Linkplay devices, or can be paired with another Mini Audio Streamer in a stereo configuration. Using proprietary hardware, algorithm, and software optimization, WiiM can achieve less than 150uS (0.00015s) synchronization accuracy among connected devices as long as all your compatible devices are on the same wireless WiFi network.

• Multi-Room Audio: Using the WiiM Home App (for Apple iOS or Android OS) you can create a multi-room audio experience by wirelessly linking multiple WiiM and Linkplay devices together in different rooms of your house. You can choose to play the same audio content on all your devices or a group of devices, or play a different music source on each WiiM or Linkplay device in your home. Multiroom compatible sources include WiFi content, Bluetooth sources, and Aux input. You can also control the volume globally, by group, or for each device.
• Stereo Pairing: If you have two separate powered speakers, you can use two WiiM Mini Audio Streamers to create a stereo pair by connecting one Mini Audio Streamer to each powered speaker. Use the WiiM Home App to setup Stereo Pairing between two Mini Audio Streamers and then designate which one is the Left channel and which one is the Right channel.

Gapless Playback: Precise gapless playback is important to many user's listening experience when listening to live concert recording. With precise gapless playback, the playback timing is guaranteed to be identical to the source. Whereas some software, firmware, and hardware components may add substantial delay associated with starting the playback of a track, WiiM uses two decoders to remove the extra samples at the beginning and end of each file and combines them. As a result, here are no gaps or overlaps (crossfading) between successive tracks. This works for all the supported music services and music on your smartphone, tablet, and local network.

Analog & Digital Audio Outputs: The WiiM Mini Audio Streamer is outfitted with both an analog & digital audio output to give you flexibility when it comes to connecting the device to your integrated amplifier, AV receiver, soundbar, or powered speaker. The analog output consists of a stereo minijack (3.5mm) output connector, while the digital output consists of an optical (toslink) digital output connector. The analog and digital audio outputs can be setup as Fixed or Variable, so you can control the volume either from your integrated amplifier, AV receiver, powered speaker, or WiiM Home App.

• The WiiM Mini Audio Streamer only outputs 2ch PCM stereo (up to 24-bit/192kHz) and is not compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, or other multichannel audio formats.
• Only one output can be connected, either Analog or Digital, but not both.

Power Requirements: The WiiM Mini Audio Streamer features a USB-C power port, plus comes with a 4' USB-C to USB-A cable and USB/AC power adapter that need to be plugged into an AC power outlet or surge-protector (sold separately).
