WiiM Amp

You and I have different definition of "reasonable priced" I guess
To me, Wiim products are reasonably priced
Just one, M10 V2.. love everything about it, but lots of bugs.

In this price range my idea was more a 316bee...
But of course it has no digital ins. My suggestion for people with a quite small budget will be such an analog amp (the internal power supply earns this name), a Cambridge DAC and the WiiM. Maybe the WiiM Pro Plus without the external DAC.
The M10 was never in my hands, but I didn't read about bugs.

Wiim AMP looks great, can’t wait to see the specs!
oh gosh... my M10 has so many random shutdowns and reboots that I lost count. And Roon losing its connectivity, plus the recent firmware fiasco, and BlueOS support promising updates something but never delivers, BluOS 4 is vaporware, Dirac Live Bass Control is vaporware despite promises 3 years ago.
The NAD experience is a total and complete opposite of Wiim's transparency, actively responding to customers and rapidly making improvements, which is a type of company that I will not hesitate buying products from.
I think the point is that it is a one box (plus speakers) minimalist offering. It will appeal to a lot of people because of this.
Most of us have probably got stacks of HiFi gear with components that do this, that or the other but how many of us also have ladies in our life who consider the stack and wiring behind to be a mess.

Here have been NAD components for decades without the slightest problem. The original 3020 runs still with a staff member. So I can not agree.
All my stuff is bought from dealers I have relationships for years, so never service was a problem. Once a speaker socket was broken. But I fear long relations to a dealer are old fashioned. Amazon is the way..
But, as I mentioned, all this digital things are not relevant for me. Might be a difference.
Everything you wrote about Bluesound is true. For Roon I am a fangrandpa. In our living room the streaming source is an Atom Uniti 2, because my wife loves it together with Roon. In my music cave the WiiM Pro without plus has already replaced the Node. The WiiM feeds either the Cambridge M200 or the internal option of my integrated. And of course Roon is also the software here. And...I love heavy and big components
I think essentially we are on the same page. No doubt NAD makes solid hardware. It's all their digital software implementation/integration stuff that has gone sideways in recent years, as evident by my M10 V2 with full touch interface, digital ports etc.
Maybe the idea of using an external device made by Wiim to take care of the digital streaming/transport portion is a better way forward than relying on a traditional hardware company like NAD to deliver sophisticated streaming integrations.
Not 'WiiM Pro Ultimate'?I'll have to give the nod to @Wiimer for the above suggested name - it's growing on me
But, what @Smartplug wants is a WiiM without a DAC.
It is clearly not the WiiM Plus but the "WiiM Minus".
So, a "pure digital transport".
But maybe look at it this way, Wiim already makes several of these, with a free bonus DAC inside, so basically it's Wiim Minus pricing but with free bonus DAC built-in

The current WiiM devices are 140x140x42 mm, I guess this won't be much bigger
Unlikely, if it includes a decent amp and psu. A depth of 260mm at most would be ideal for me.

Hi Brantome, team
The dimensions of the WiiM AMP are 190mm x 190mm x 64mm. With these measurements, you can conveniently fit four units into a single 3U Rack if you wish to mount them in a rack configuration.

Wow.
So, to sum up, it's an all-in-one, building on the Pro Plus with "one of the industry's top amplifier chips" (TPA3255? MA12070?).
It looks gorgeous- a bit bigger than the Pro (similar footprint to a Mac Mini but taller- half way to the height of a Mac Studio).
It should cost no more than €450. But could cost less..
I wished for this when I first started looking into Wiim.
If this meets expectations, I suspect it could be huge.
