Roon Ready Certification for WiiM

Spot on, Chromecast should really be first choice for using this with Roon, Airplay after that and hopefully within a couple of months there will be Roon Ready which gives three options available

I bought two today. Iā€™ve had one eye on a pair for a while as a way to play records in two zones simultaneously. Roon Ready sealed the deal. Exciting!

I didnā€™t register for early access. I am glad it is working and looking forward to getting the update in the next few days.

Nice! I just checked mine and got the update - yippee!

And looks nice in the WiiM app itself when playing:

I was doing a lot of listening last night, and the integration is seamless.

Even if itā€™s just in my head, I believe there was a better sound signature compared to Chromecast. I just enjoyed it more.

Thank you @danny, Team Roon and Linkplay Tech/WiiM. A great budget, one box solution for those who want a Roon Ready certified endpoint. :pray::+1:

I just say/write it as I feel/hear it.

Music listening is very important to me. When something works well and sounds good then Iā€™ll sing its praises.

Roon 99% of the time cause me no issues. Minor issues have been resolved quickly with either community or Roon Tech help.

Happy listening WiiM Pro owners.

Iā€™m new to Roon, but I have the same feeling. Even apparently insignificant things, like been able to clear the play cue without stopping currently playing track; asked that to Tidal as soon as I became a customer, never got any feedback, and years have gone byā€¦

Iā€™m running the WiiM Pro on a battery pack along with my DAC on another.

Just as an experiment, to see how long they last and because I can. :wink:

A/B comparison between mains power and battery packs is tricky as it takes time for them to come on after swapping supplies.

Although the battery packs have voltage regulators that are probably noisy, Iā€™d say thereā€™s again a marginal SQ improvement. Subjective and not precise.

And the Roon Ready is still working a charm.

Iā€™d be very interested in others thoughts of the WiiM Pro on more ā€œhigher endā€ equipment.
