{"product_id":"wiimampsi","title":"WiiM Amp Streaming Amplifier, Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe WiiM Amp is a streaming integrated amplifier that combines network player, DAC and power amp in a single compact housing. In Silver it's the lighter-coloured variant - technically identical to the Space Gray version, just less conspicuous on light furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the WiiM Amp?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it radically shortens the chain. Instead of a streamer, preamp, power amp and three cable tangles, there's one device on the shelf that receives everything that matters today over Wi-Fi or a network cable: AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music Cast, DLNA and Roon Ready. The TV joins in via HDMI ARC, the turntable via the line input - provided it has a phono preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WiiM Home app isn't an afterthought here, but the actual reason the device works so well: fast, stable, and with an equalizer you understand even without a degree in audio engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TI TPA3255 amplifier delivers 60 W at 8 ohms and 120 W at 4 ohms per channel - enough for most bookshelf speakers and many floorstanders in normal living rooms. The sound is neutral and controlled, without the typical Class-D fatigue in the treble, and the amplifier stays cool and quiet throughout: no fans, no hum, no waiting for it to warm up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more depth there's a subwoofer output with an adjustable crossover frequency between 30 and 250 Hz. That lets you cleanly extend a small compact system rather than pushing bookshelf speakers beyond their limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the WiiM Amp for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a complete, uncomplicated system: living room, office, bedroom, holiday flat. And for anyone who still has good passive speakers in the basement and wants to give them a second life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e the WiiM Amp is no powerhouse. With very large or inefficient floorstanding speakers in a 40-square-metre room, it reaches its limits - that's what the WiiM Amp Ultra with double the power is for. It also has no headphone output and no phono input; your turntable still needs its own preamp. And the trade press agrees that it plays matter-of-fact rather than thrilling - if you value emotion over neutrality, talk to us beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WiiM Amp is the reason a \"good system\" no longer has to mean an \"expensive system\". It does little wrong, stays pleasantly unfussy in everyday use, and leaves you budget for what matters most: the speakers. Which colour ends up suiting your shelf best is a matter of taste - Silver often looks calmer next to light wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwarded:\u003c\/strong\u003e EISA Best Value Streaming Amplifier 2024-2025 · 5.0 out of 5, rated \"outstanding\" - LowBeats 1\/2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the trade press says:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Powerful, neutral amplification, a spotlessly clean streaming player, thoughtful features - and the whole thing held together by a stable app.\" - HIFI.DE, January 2024 (rated 7.7\/10)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: streaming integrated amplifier (Class D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput power: 2 × 60 W at 8 ohms, 2 × 120 W at 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier chip: TI TPA3255\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker impedance: 4 to 8 ohms (minimum 2.67 ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC: ESS ES9018K2M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio: 108 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion THD+N: -92 dB (0.0025%) at 5 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum resolution: 192 kHz \/ 24-bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5 (2.4 and 5 GHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork connection: LAN 10\/100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth: 5.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 1 × HDMI ARC, 1 × optical Toslink, 1 × RCA analog (line-in), 1 × USB-A (storage media), 1 × LAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: speaker terminals for banana plugs, 1 × subwoofer (RCA, crossover frequency 30-250 Hz adjustable), USB audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput level: adjustable - via rotary knob on the device, app and remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone output: not available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono input: not available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreaming protocols: AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music Cast, DLNA, Roon Ready, internet radio, NAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoice control: Alexa and Google Assistant via the respective devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound settings: 10-band equalizer, parametric EQ, room correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 190 × 63 × 190 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.84 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: WiiM Amp, WiiM Voice Remote, power cable, HDMI cable, RCA cable, optical cable, quick guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich speakers suit the WiiM Amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassive bookshelf and smaller floorstanding speakers with 4 to 8 ohms are a good match. In normal living rooms up to around 30 square metres, the 120 W at 4 ohms is more than enough. For large rooms or inefficient speakers, the WiiM Amp Ultra is the better choice - we're happy to check that against your model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV to the WiiM Amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, via HDMI ARC. The TV sends the sound to the amplifier over a single cable, and the TV remote controls the volume too. Alternatively, the optical input works. That way the WiiM Amp quietly replaces the soundbar in your living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a difference between the silver and grey versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, technically both are identical - same power, same connections, same included items and same price. The difference is purely visual: Silver blends in better with light interiors, Space Gray disappears into dark racks. We carry both as standard stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the WiiM Amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no headphone output. If you regularly listen through headphones, you'll need a separate headphone amplifier - or combine it with a WiiM Ultra as a source, which brings a genuine headphone output on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the WiiM Amp at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the amplifier is only half the answer. The more interesting question is which speakers will be happy with it in your room - and that's where an experienced specialist team helps more than any top-ten list. Plus setup, delivery and our own technician if things do get stuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll find the matching speakers among the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/regallautsprecher\"\u003ebookshelf speakers\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/standlautsprecher\"\u003efloorstanding speakers\u003c\/a\u003e, the matching stands at the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lautsprecher-staender\"\u003espeaker stands\u003c\/a\u003e.
