What was done
- Two in one: a network streamer and an AK4493S DAC in a single chassis
- A proper rework of the best budget streamer — the ceiling rises to the level of $700–900 units
- Optionally — top-tier Sparkos SS3601 op-amps (USA)
- Upgraded in 3–4 days, with a 3-month warranty
- Several independent video reviews from owners of upgraded units
- It is the Pro Plus version that gets upgraded: the plain WiiM Pro sounds worse
