WiiM’s Mini and Pro are the Chromecast Audio’s true successors

About a year or so ago, I decided to network all my speakers together to be able to do multiroom audio. I gave myself a set of simple parameters. Namely:It must be able to work synchronized in multiple rooms.It should not lock me exclusively into a proprietary system.It should allow me to stream music from my NAS.
It turns out that this very specific combination of parameters is a recipe for going mad, but one that led me to a little company called WiiM, which makes a perfect little device that just works, is affordable, and is being aggressively updated to add new functionality constantly.But first, let’s start with what did not work and why this entire process was so needlessly difficult.Okay, so Sonos. I know some people that swear by Sonos, and I get it, but I’m in no way doing that.
Here’s the problem: big tech companies are completely uninterested in giving you a solution that simple. Or, rather, they are no longer interested in it. If you are the kind of person that uses Chromecast, you may remember the , a tiny affordable audio-only puck produced and then discontinued by Google. Those little guys are great: they worked well, they were affordable, and Google decided to kill them one day.The Chromecast Audio works so well that people continue to hoard them to this day, sort of like how people used to hoard Apple’s old AirPlay-enabled. Apple, like Google, also seems uninterested in giving nerds like me what we want, and until recently, a simple, cheap AirPlay 2 streamer was hard to come by .
