The dot is kinda starting to die....been sitting outside for years and voice recognition is getting worse and worse.
This seems like it would do the same thing....any reason to get this over a newer echo dot?

- Better app control of music
- Better streaming quality (24 bit, 192 kHz)
- Digital out (since I will bypass the DAC and send the digital signal via optical to an amp with a better DAC).
In addition to these advantages, you don't really lose out on convenience since you are still able to use Alexa voice control when the WiiM mini is set up as the speaker for an echo or room in the Alexa app.- Better app control of music

However, my understanding it that the WiiM Mini doesn't have native voice control, but it can be used as a speaker in the Echo ecosystem so that you would be talking to an existing Echo device for the voice control but it will play on the WiiM. This works for me as I have Echo dots in the same room. Conversely, if you currently use a single standalone Echo Dot and want to replace it with a standalone WiiM mini, you won't have voice control other than through the Alexa app.

Need voce control from in the pool
Doesn't work with Google Home or Google Home speaker groups, and associated Spotify features.

The main reason to use AirPlay (as far as I can tell) is to stream Apple Music. Apple generally doesn't permit Apple Music on third-party devices. (There are a few notable exceptions such as EverSolo and FiiO streamers, and Rivian and GM vehicles). Therefore, for Apple Music you need to stream from the Apple Music app on your device and transmit the stream via AirPlay. If you use one of the streaming services listed above, you can just use the WiiM app to stream directly from the WiiM without compatibility issues.
