Auto Calibration: The WiiM Pro Plus Audio Streamer's connected amp, receiver, or speaker may have different audio path latency due to different hardware, software and DSP processing. To maintain audio synchronization of each component, WiiM incorporates auto calibration. By leveraging a built-in microphone and proprietary algorithm, the entire audio path latency is measured automatically when the WiiM is connected with your integrated amplifier, AV receiver, or powered speaker. The latency value will be used to maintain the perfect audio synchronization in wireless multi-room or multi-channel playback.
Advanced EQ: When adaptive EQ is enabled, the music genre information and other tags included in the audio content are used to adjust the frequency of the WiiM Pro Plus Audio Streamer in real-time by bringing in rich audio to capture every musical detail or make vocals clearer. You can also further cater to your listening taste by applying multiple EQ options including 26 EQ Presets, Bass & Treble adjustment, a 10-band Graphic EQ or Parametric EQ.
Linkplay: Using Linkplay protocol, the WiiM Pro Plus Audio Streamer can be configured in a multi-room application with other WiiM and Linkplay devices, or can be paired with another Pro Plus Audio Streamer in a stereo configuration.

Gapless Playback: Precise gapless playback is important to many user's listening experience when listening to live concert recording. With precise gapless playback, the playback timing is guaranteed to be identical to the source. Whereas some software, firmware, and hardware components may add substantial delay associated with starting the playback of a track, WiiM uses two decoders to remove the extra samples at the beginning and end of each file and combines them. As a result, here are no gaps or overlaps (crossfading) between successive tracks. This works for all the supported music services and music on your smartphone, tablet, and local network.
