You might assume that because the Wii U is now on the market, Nintendo is ready to sever all ties with its six year-old Wii system. After all, when you’ve shifted almost 100 million units worldwide, it must be difficult to find anyone in the developed world who hasn’t got one by now.

The WiiM Mini will automatically pop up in your WiiM Home app. The in-app guide will thereafter aid you in the rest of the setup, and you will be able to start streaming music in less than 2 minutes. So just a hair better than using Airplay. The internal DAC as expected, is a mass market product than high performance. Hi all. Firstly at date of writing this I haven't heard one of these streamers. I am only going by a few positive articles I have read. It doesn't do Chromecast so my heading might be misleading, but it does do a lot that the CCA did originally, with a plus being Spotify connect and tidal connect plus Bluetooth and airplay.The Wiim Mini is the streamer you’ve been waiting for A short film about the Wiim Mini (& Chord Mojo 2) [UPDATED] The Wiim Mini is now bit-perfect and fully gapless
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call progress. The Wiim Mini is now an even bigger bargain than it was two weeks ago. The WiiM Mini is a compact music streamer and ideal for updating almost any music system to the ... [+] digital age. WiiM Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Nintendo has also omitted the SD Card slot on the Wii Mini, which means you can’t port over your existing save games and Miis from your old Wii. Wii Mini – The Software TIDAL Connect. The TIDAL supplied TIDAL Connect renderer is gapless, but that isn't the device's main renderer;WiiM supports a multitude of popular music streaming services, all accessible in the WiiM Home app with more to come. Alternatively, connect to your NAS or local files to stream your favourites. Game & Watch (1980-1991) | Virtual Boy (1995) | Pokémon Pikachu (1998) | Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS (1999) | Pokémon mini (2001) | Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. (2020) | Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda (2021) So just like the DAC, this is a mass market ADC implementation. Good enough for common uses though but I would not route the clean output of any DAC through it. The sound quality produced by this little streamer is exceptionally good for the money. All it needs to operate is a 5V DC power supply. You could use almost any USB power adapter. WiiM provides a power supply and cable in the box. Alternatively, you can use the USB power outlet from a host audio device if it has one-. The choice is yours. Spotify Connect. The Spotify supplied Spotify Connect renderer is very close to gapless (has been reported to have extremely small hardly noticeable gaps), but that isn't the device's main renderer.
If use Spotify and/or Tidal apps, the WiiM Mini is compatible with their ‘Connect’ feature (premium account may be required). This lets you use the Spotify or Tidal to take direct control of the Mini, giving you a seamless experience as you switch between devices. Support for AirPlay 2 lets you stream audio directly from your Apple device, via the Mini. The Wii Mini offers a fuzzy, ill-defined picture with depressingly washed-out colours, and looks laughable when placed alongside HD machines like the PS3 and Xbox 360. The impact isn’t quite as dramatic if you’re playing on a small portable TV, but on anything larger than 32 inches and the image quality is abysmal – so bad in fact that it gets in the way of your enjoyment. One word of caution, as of ios16 it seems AirPlay is broken for the A50+, although the WiiM Mini still works fine. Hopefully either Apple or Arylic will get on the case and fix it.
The WiiM Mini can handle 24-bit digital files up to 192kHz over Wi-Fi with a signal-to-noise ratio of 106dB. That’s enough for most people’s needs and the Mini is fine for streaming using AirPlay 2 with support for 16-bit files up to 48kHz resolution. That’s slightly better than CD quality and will be fine for most people. We think you'll agree our 6 Year Guarantee offers fantastic value. What's more, if you don't use it UPDATE 25th January: The Wiim Mini is reviewed here— but please read this introductory post as it contains information that the review treats as assumed knowledge.
Building a wireless multiroom system has never been easier. Group WiiM Mini with other AirPlay 2 speakers, Alexa-enabled devices, or another WiiM Minis to have a multi-room/synchronized audio experience.The WiiM is not a HomeKit device, which is actually the case for nearly all Airplay products including HomePods, and Apple TVs (Belkin’s Soundform Connect is an exception that comes with a HomeKit QR code) but they can still be added to the Home app. The distinction here is that they can be added to the Home app, but not HomeKit; You may or may not have noticed, but no third-party HomeKit apps get access to AirPlay devices, so whilst everything from a HomePod Mini to the WiiM Mini can work in the Home app, it’s not the case for any other app. On the side of the Wii Mini casing you’ll find the sync button (for pairing the console with Wii Remote controllers) and a small panel secured by a single screw – these contains a user-serviceable battery which helps the system retain save data. Want the same audio quality as that of an artist's recording in the studio? The WiiM Mini has got you covered, supporting up to 192kHz, 24-bit audio output. Additionally, the integrated TI stereo DAC provides high-quality analogue audio output with 106-dB SNR, dynamic range, and -92dB THD+N performance. A fabulous little device. This is what a streamer should be; simple to set up, with a reasonably good control app, and, perhaps most to the point, inexpensive. I have no idea how the major manufacturers can charge so much for what must be a small circuit board in a big case ... you're paying for air. My (now somewhat elderly) Cambridge Audio streamer cost substantially more than this thing, and does exactly the same job, just the WiiM does it more coherently.
Great Deal
