WIIM

Part of the Newark, CA-based Linkplay Technologies group, WiiM is a young brand with a stated mission to deliver premium smart home experiences through simple and affordable connected Al products. WiiM currently offers two audio products: the WiiM Mini and WiiM Pro.

WIIM MINI

The Mini is a hockey puck-sized 192 kHz/24-bit-capable streamer that instantly ‘turns any audio gear smart’ with features, including Amazon Music, Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Qobuz, TIDAL Connect, and Spotify Connect.

Laurence Armstrong, managing director of Henley Audio, said: “This partnership is terrific news for all, including our dealers and their customers. Our in-house sales and tech teams have determinedly put the WiiM models through their paces, and the units continually deliver the goods. Indeed, WiiM gear transforms, bringing smart audio features to hi-fi gear, including turntables, which, of course, is a category we know inside out! File WiiM under ‘system enhancing’ and watch this space – this agreement is a smart move in more ways than one.”

WIIM PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

The WiiM Mini and WiiM Pro stock ships to Henley Audio’s broad network of UK dealers this month, priced (SRP) £89 and £149, respectively.

HiFi PiG Says: Great news for UK streaming fans as Henley Audio make Wiim available through their dealer network.
