WiiM AMP silver

The WiiM AMP is a stereo integrated hi-fi amplifier that combines powerful sound, modern connectivity, and ease of use in a surprisingly compact form. Designed for music lovers, it stands out with its ability to drive speakers with efficient digital amplification, direct access to a wide array of streaming services, and compatibility with voice assistants.

Modern amplification in a small chassis

This amp is built on Class D digital amplification technology, known for delivering clear, dynamic sound while remaining energy-efficient. This allows the WiiM AMP to produce enough power to drive a variety of speakers, from compact models for intimate listening to more robust systems to fill a room. All of this is housed in a discreet chassis, avoiding the bulk of traditional, often larger amps.

This digital approach also reduces heat output, which extends the device’s lifespan and keeps performance stable, even during prolonged use. Whether you’re playing an album in the background or turning up the volume for a party, this amp stays unobtrusive while ensuring reliable sound reproduction.

Voice control for simplified use

One of the strengths of the WiiM AMP Space Grey is its compatibility with the most common voice assistants: Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. With a simple word, you can launch a playlist, adjust the volume, or skip tracks without lifting a finger. This integration turns the amp into an intuitive companion, perfect for those who like to keep their hands free or who already have connected devices at home.

Unlimited audio streaming

For digital music enthusiasts, this amp is a true passport to an almost infinite catalog. It connects to an impressive list of streaming platforms, covering both industry giants and more specialized services for audiophiles. Whether you prefer exploring curated playlists or diving into your favorite albums, everything is accessible directly from the device without cumbersome intermediaries.

Support for these services comes with compatibility with protocols like AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, opening the door to synchronized multi-room playback. It’s a great asset for creating a cohesive ambiance throughout the home or sharing sound across different spaces without complex cabling.

Connectivity designed for every source

The WiiM AMP Space Grey shines in its ability to accommodate a variety of audio sources. With an HDMI ARC input, it easily connects to a TV to boost your movies or series. RCA and optical/coaxial inputs let you hook up classic devices like a CD player or a console, while the USB-A port accepts drives containing your music files. The binding posts, meanwhile, ensure a solid connection to your speakers.

This versatility makes the amp an adaptable hub, able to juggle modern digital and timeless analog. The only caveat: there’s no dedicated phono input, but an external preamp can fill that gap for vinyl fans.

Simplified setup and configuration

Despite its many features, the WiiM AMP is simple to install and configure. Connecting to the Wi-Fi network takes just a few steps via the app, which guides the user throughout the process. For those who prefer a wired connection, an Ethernet port is also available.

Firmware updates are performed automatically via the Internet, ensuring the amplifier always benefits from the latest improvements and bug fixes. This software evolvability is a major asset, potentially allowing new features to be added over time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the WiiM AMP compatible with all speakers? The WiiM AMP is compatible with most passive speakers on the market. Its output power of 60 W into 8 ohms and 100 W into 4 ohms makes it suitable for a wide range of speakers, from compact models to medium-sized floorstanders.

Can the WiiM AMP be used with analog sources like a turntable? Absolutely. The WiiM AMP’s RCA input lets you connect analog sources such as a turntable (equipped with a phono preamp), a CD player, or any other device with a line output. This makes the WiiM AMP an excellent bridge between the analog world and modern streaming technologies.

How does multi-room synchronization work? The WiiM AMP uses a built-in microphone to measure and automatically correct audio delays between different devices in a multi-room system. This technology ensures precise synchronization, avoiding unpleasant echo effects when multiple units play the same content in different rooms.

Does the WiiM AMP support playback of CD-quality or higher audio files? Yes, the WiiM AMP supports high-resolution audio playback up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. This includes common formats like FLAC, ALAC, WAV, and AIFF. The integrated ESS Sabre DAC provides high-quality conversion for these files, allowing you to fully appreciate the nuances of high-resolution recordings.

Is it possible to use the WiiM AMP as a preamplifier? While the WiiM AMP is primarily designed as an integrated amplifier, it does not have a dedicated preamp output. However, its subwoofer output could potentially be used to connect an external power amplifier, though that is not its intended use.

Does the WiiM AMP require a permanent Internet connection? An Internet connection is necessary to enjoy streaming features and firmware updates. However, the WiiM AMP can operate without Internet for physically connected sources (HDMI, RCA, optical) and for playback via Bluetooth. The local Wi-Fi connection can also be used for DLNA streaming without Internet access.
