By using the Optical out. Did you just not bypass the excellent DAC with in the Wiim Pro Plus. To use the DAC in the WiiM Pro Plus you have to use the Analog outs.

[@thomasfrost4804]

Yes he did!

[@barlow2976]

Thanks, very useful, and well presented. Subbed.

[@stevecurtis9886]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@amygreen8362]

People are so rude. I found this very helpful. Thanks for the information. Appreciate it.

[@ramencurry6672]

People with mental health issues taking it out on the internet

[@davidcantu5923]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@bozzhughes6101]

best walkthrough thanks

[@tomhill4003]

Thanks for demystifing this gadget. I live in the dark ages of analog, but really want to add streaming to my "antique" system. It appears that this will do the trick. One question: when I sync my phone to the Wiim pro plus, is the signal bluetooth, or is it originating from the Wiim? Bluetooth sounds horrible IMHO, and I'd like to get the best quality possible from streaming. Please lmk.

[@suasponte6230]

Probably the best setup vid I've ever seen. We'll done.

[@lehsu]

Good instructions. Thx, but what’s with the hole on your wall?

[@mikel5582]

There's someone behind that wall looking through that hole at the people watching this video. It's diabolical.

[@user-jh5fm7ci6o]

Question, So the phone app uses the bluetooth to stream the music to the WIIM device and that device is connected to your speaker or soundbar. How do you get good quality music if you first have to bluetooth it from your phone to the WIIM device

[@bugante]

No. That’s not right. The WiiM device picks up the streams directly from the service you select from the fairly extensive list. The WiiM home app on your phone is only used to control what the device does. Another way to look at it is to imagine the phone and app as the front control panel of the WiiM device. He wasn’t playing from the Spotify app on his phone, but was using “Spotify Connect”.

[@landosazo7506]

very nice ...but , was the video recorded in a bar? everything is dark///

[@TimpTim]

Please lose the background music!

[@ramencurry6672]

Huh?

[@danmarjenka6361]

Yes. The music is distracting and unnecessary.

[@majadito1985]

Or just lower the music volume

[@DavidParker-jr5bd]

Or please don't try to compete with that loud a$$ soundbar.

[@ramencurry6672]

Sir you forgot your medication

[@DarenLee]

Question: if using the optical out to your sound bar, does it mean it won’t be using the built in awesome AKM chipset DAC instead of your soundbar dac.? Just curious.

[@madcrabber1113]

Correct.

[@DarenLee]

@@madcrabber1113 thanks for the review the video and your reply. By the way, I have been eyeing this product for long and now came out the new WiiM Amp and more to consider now 🙈

[@BarnardoP]

Low lighting is no problem at all. Quite relaxing actually. Hole in the wall the only distraction! Great vocal clarity, excellent tutorial.

[@danmarjenka6361]

I do not think the built-in DAC sounds good at all. I did an A/B comparison with a 1990's CD player and the CD player sounded better.

[@theaudiosenseinl]

He apparently only uses the WiiM Pro Plus for streaming. Sound quality is apparently less important.

[@richardrichard4881]

So so dark, why. More lightening required. 😢

[@RockvilleAudio]

Got You!

[@lapelapapi]

Hello, so if I close the Spotify app on my phone, will the music stop playing on the wiim?

[@johnrountree370]

no

[@bugante]

No. The music is being played on “Spotify Connect” which is on the WiiM, not on the Spotify app installed on your phone.

[@merman22100]

" Check the PCM settings on you TV" Where is the TV in this video. What is a TV's role in this setup

[@willy1957]

You didn’t mention active speakers

[@user-mb4wh2xf5c]

Why do I need a Wiim when all I do is use my Spotify or any other app on my phone and play music though my Denon via blutooth?

[@EricPark971]

Same question. Why would you need this gadget at all. I have a 10 year old chromebook streaming what I need to nad2 dac and receiver to the speakers. From what I hear Wiim is just an intermediary I do not need.

[@theaudiosenseinl]

You spoke about systems that used to have / use a coaxial connection or used to have / use trigger connections. What do you mean ‘used to have / use’? 😉 Most new systems still have coaxial connections and trigger connections. Like my Leak CDT is connected via a coaxial cable since it gives a better sound. And both my Leak CDT and Leak Stereo 130 there is a trigger cable. So both connections are still in use and are definately only on systems from the past. Active speakers and soundbars might not have trigger and coaxial connections. But i would never prefer those over a real system.😉

[@DominikaCz]

dude, find a background wall without a holes in it:D

[@danmarjenka6361]

Why the background music! Would be so much better without the music competing with the guy's voice.

[@RockvilleAudio]

Thanks for the comment we'll keep that in mind for the next video!

[@ramencurry6672]

Strange comment. I don’t get it. I barely notice the background music

[@elbebe1000]

Great explanation of the item. But is too dark. More lights and you'll have a killer review.... can't see item details too dark.

[@MrJoep12]

why so dark?

[@huishaai]

This is a dark vlog, and i mean that not in a pschological way.. A bit brighter would work better, Thanks for the review though !

[@leonsam12]

I wonder how I play at 24 bits

[@bugante]

The source material being played needs to have been recorded at 24 bit. Only then can it be played back. Not all players are capable of reproducing such high quality, but the WiiM has this capability, and is able to de-code and play back material recorded at 24 bit.

[@CompetentSalesUSA]

Can’t see anything. Everything is in the DARK! You need some flashlights so we can tell what you are talking about.

[@ramencurry6672]

Weird comment. These videos are not meant for entertainment

[@johnrawlinson1431]

Highly irritating background music forced me off half way through.....0
