Audacity Australia Posted July 1, 2024 Author Posted July 1, 2024 What Hi-fi - WiiM Pro Plus Review: "A full-fat, 24-bit/96kHz file of Weyes Blood’s Grapevine accessed from some network-attached storage allows the WiiM to show what it’s made of almost entirely. It creates a big, properly defined soundstage on which musicians can operate securely, and keeps detail levels high at every point. Despite the generous dimensions of the stage, there’s no sense of estrangement or remoteness – every part of the recording relates to the others in a neat and confident manner." "This is particularly apparent in the midrange, where the vocal is brimming with character and attitude. The WiiM is attentive to even the most minor or transient dynamic variations in the delivery, and as a result, the vocal line sounds immediate, natural and full of conviction."
