Anonymous appearance, potent performance

WiiM Pro Plus

This budget music streamer is designed either to bring high-quality audio-streaming smarts to music set-ups that pre-date the technology, or to improve those systems that aren't much good at it.

It's a fair bit more affordable than the most budget music streamer we have seen so far, but, of course, undercutting on price only works if performance isn't compromised to the same degree. As long as the Pro Plus can outperform its asking price, though - even just a little - it should be easy enough to overlook just how ungainly the word 'WiiM' looks in print.

Before we tested the WiiM Pro Plus in the summer of 2023, we admired the Cambridge Audio MXN10 - it's a compact, likeable music streamer that we dubbed 'fantastically affordable', and it sells for £65k. At that time, it was the most affordable, talented streamer we had come across since the Bluesound Node (2021) and Audiolab 6000N Play. You don't need to be any kind of mathematician to realise the WiiM Pro Plus is less than half the price of 'affordable' - which means it has the makings of a bargain.

imageAs the asking price strongly suggests, the WiiM Pro Plus is made in a way that isn't as much about luxury as it is function.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe

There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
