WiiM’s Hi-Fi solutions to the retired Chromecast Audio are bringing life back to your old speakers with WiiM Amp.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the year, we covered WiiM<\/a> and how their devices are bringing music streaming to our old school stereos and speakers. The new WiiM Amp<\/a> has dropped onto the scene to power up those old passive speakers and bring new life into them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WiiM’s devices connect up digitally to your devices to stream audio and music from your favourite streaming services. What sets them apart from smart speakers is that they play via external outputs. This allows you to connect via aux, optical, line-out, and coaxial outputs, bringing stereo systems and old speakers back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WiiM Amp is their latest offering, bringing amplified sound to your music streaming services. This means that you can output your music to a set of old-school passive speakers. If you have a decent pair gathering dust in the digital age, this may be the perfect solution to bridging those gaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new WiiM Amp is the most expensive of their offerings and comes with in a sleek aluminium shell to set it apart from it’s siblings. For the audiophiles, it’s packing 60 Watts per channel at 8 ohms, and 120 Watts per channel at 4 ohms. For everyone else, it’s pumping out some good sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the WiiM app, casting from all of the expected streaming services is simple. For services with Hi-Fi audio, the WiiM Amp comes into its own offering seamless Hi-Fi streaming with the tech to power it flawlessly into your speakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A handy USB input allows you to plug audio straight into the device. Once plugged in, you can then access your USB catalogue from anywhere as the WiiM acts as an “always-on media server”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WiiM amp is now available for $299 from Amazon<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
