‘WiiM’ is the rather awkward brand name adopted by Linkplay for a (quickly expanding) range of home audio streaming products. ‘Pro Plus’ is the only-slightly-less-awkward name of this incredibly budget music streamer, and is smack in the middle of WiiM's streamer products offering (in between the 'Pro' and upcoming 'Ultra'). Like quite a few similar products, it’s designed to either bring high-quality audio streaming smarts to music set-ups that pre-date the technology, or to improve those systems that aren’t much good at it.
It’s a fair bit more affordable than the most budget music streamer we’ve seen so far, but, of course, undercutting on price only works if performance isn’t compromised to the same degree. As long as the Pro Plus can outperform its asking price, though – even just a little – it should be easy enough to overlook just how ungainly the word ‘WiiM’ is to type.
