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 Home app now features a ‘fixed output’ option that (presumably) bypasses the Mini’s DSP-based volume attenuator. That means a line-level output when connecting the Wiim to an integrated amplifier via its 3.5mm analogue output and a bit-perfect stream when connecting it to a DAC over TOSLINK.
TIDAL Connect. The TIDAL supplied TIDAL Connect renderer is gapless, but that isn't the device's main renderer;
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.
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. 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. To stream Bluetooth to the Wiim Mini, we must first switch the Mini’s operational mode to Bluetooth using the Wiim Home app. On advanced codecs, Wiim gives us only AAC. No aptX. No LDAC. No shame (at this price point). WiiM Mini supports up to 192kHz, 24-bit audio output. That's the same as an artist's recording in the studio. This looks great. If I were to connect this to my Quad Vena by toslink am I right in thinking I would still be using the DAC in the Vena? I'm pretty new to streaming and I've been using Blue tooth Aptx so far. The tidal connect feature is what I'm looking for.
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. John currently lives in Berlin where he creates videos and podcasts for Darko.Audio.

It’s been in beta testing for the past couple of weeks but this weekend Wiim is rolling out an over-the-air update to the Mini – version 4.6.408142 – that rights the above wrongs.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 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. Since my analyzer can't control streaming devices, these are all the tests I can reasonably run. I think we have a good picture though.
Great Deal
