Not that kind of receiver… I use this for music on my patio
And a thrift store receiver won't give you the ability to decode losslessly like this will. If you run some old beast with a Wiim you'll just be using the Wiim's meh DAC, and end up with fairly meh input. And sure you can set up a good system by putting together your own streamer/DAC/vintage-receiver, but this is an easy, all-in-one package that integrates all three of those things.

That's cool you like the Wiim Pro+! I've wanted to check one of those out. Looks like a really nifty device (of course at that point you're dropping almost as much on the streamer alone as you would for this receiver, so many people will prefer to just get one device!)

This Yamaha isn't a terrible deal for an all in one though. My issue just remains that older receivers and amps are available for $10-$20 at thrift stores, garage sales and facebook marketplace in really good condition. I would at least consider building a stereo or 2.1 setup with older used equipment and focusing your money on what actually counts like the speakers.
