WiiM Vibelink Amp Stereo Amplifier for Passive Speaker Upgrade, Gray

Simple thing, but perfirms perfectly with my Wiim streamer. Set up was fairly straightforward and connecting my Project Turntable was simple. The sound from this Wiim set up is very impressive....reminds me a bitnof mybold Cyrus 1 amp (and not just because of the size ;-) foe the cost and ease if use, i dont think you can get a better power amp to work with the WiiM streamer. From a sound quality perspective (as a non audiophile) seems to me there is good detailing and a discernable soundstage ....performs well at lower volume too which is a bonus for me as wife and kids think my taste in music is rubbish (philistines) NB i spent a long time researching my long overdue return to proper sound via vinyl and am very satisfied with the product. Looks very nice too in annunderstated way

This amp is nothing short of astonishing!. If ever there was a single hifi component which makes a complete mockery of overpriced hi-end hifi amps this is it. I was tempted to say this is an amazing amp for the price but that would be miss-leading as it is seriously one of the best at any price! I originally purchased this on a whim (wiim!😆) to match my Ultra streamer thinking if it wasn’t up to scratch I would return it. After testing it extensively against my £5k high end amp by a major reputable manufacturer I can honestly say it beats it hands down and that is now up for sale. The Vibelink sound stage is wider, deeper and more musically revealing without being fatiguing. The bass is tighter and reaches deeper without impinging on the mids or highs and has impeccable timing. The amp is plenty powerful enough and drives my speakers effortlessly with zero distortion and nothing but clear crisp articulate sound. Obviously the speakers you pair this with will have a bearing on the overall sound but the amp itself does not colour the sound in any way. Partnered with the Ultra streamer and my Kef Meta R3s the sound is tremendous. If you are thinking of getting this amp it is a must buy! and no, I don’t have any affiliation to Wiim, but I have wasted far too much money over the years an many many amplifiers!

Having bought a WiiM pro plus streamer to upgrade my vintage system the next step was to replace my twenty year old Cambridge audio amp, it still sounded great but I needed something smaller to fit more easily into my TV unit which was getting pretty crammed with various TV and audio components. The Vibelink amp is simply that, just an amp with limited connectivity just one phono and one optical input and Bluetooth and chromecast option if needed. So for me it's all about the sound and power, I'm no audiophile to me it's all about listening to the music not the equipment and this little amp is stunning for the price. It drives my nearly forty year old floor standing bang & olufsen speakers with ease, this thing outputs 100 watts into 8 ohms, clarity, detail, wide soundstage. Having picked this up at £255 on Prime day truly amazing, looks great too. But do bear in mind the limited connectivity lack of headphone output and no bass or treble controls but that's not a problem for me as extensive EQ is available via the WiiM streamer I have connected and I have long since retired my turntable and CD player in favour of steaming. One more point to think about WiiM have recently released the amp ultra which is basically the same 100 watt amp but with built in streaming and front panel display might be a good option to consider for an all in one device.

Brilliantly integrates with the WiiM Ultra streamer. Good build quality throughout and comes with a range of high quality cables to connect to your sources. Great value for a high spec amp. While it does show up in the WiiM app if you have the WiiM streamer, and this allows for power on/off, there is no remote control or facility for one. This means you need to manually set the volume and select your source using the button on the front. If your source has a volume control by remote or app (such as the Ultra or most streamers) you can then use that to control volume and leave the amp alone, but it would have been useful to have either a remote or app control.

This amp works perfectly with the wiim ultra. It operates perfectly and has a clean and dynamic sound. I was curious to hear the difference between inputs types. Playing vinyl through the Ultra and outputting through toslink gave a crisp and clear sound whereas using the rca input to the Vibelink gave a slightly warmer and deeper soundstage. This "experts" say this device sounds better than many that cost twice as much, my opinion is that I prefer the sound to my old Arcam Solo device and the Wiim Ultra and Vibelink combo is far more useable with a superb app allowing for many "tweaks" and set up options. This is a very impressive setup.

Feels like a premium device, nice build quality, I'm getting good instrument separation.

This amp has literally blown my mind. I am a Hegel guy but on a whim, I bought the Wiim Ultra Amp and then decided on the Vibelink to partner it. I am taken aback completely. It sounds phenomenal and it comes alive when the ultra amp is paired with a subwoofer, in my case dual subs! Wiim are definitely onto a winner here. It definitely gives high end amps a run for their money at a substantial saving!

I was so looking forward to getting this amp to pair with my ultra pro and when it arrived I connected it up straight away. Oh dear! Straight away I noticed the lack of volume even when turned right up to max it was only half the volume of the SMSL SA50 (50+50W) it was replacing. It was adequate so I continued using for a while but it didn't actually add anything over the SA50 even with it's much newer chipsets. So being quite underwhelmed by the sound quality and its performance (which I think 100+100W is untrue) i am returning it. 3* only because it looked nice alongside the ultra and it felt well made. Sound is #1 with an amp tho and this one doesn't cut the mustard

La puissance est bien là !!!!!! Complément indispensable au Wiim Ultra ( lecteur réseau) , Hi-Fi au top !!!!!

Review of WiiM Mini, Pro, and Vibelink Amp WiiM is a new addition to the list of companies offering hardware streaming components. Up until recently, the pricing made using a dedicate streamer not cost-effective for me. WiiM changed all of that with their offerings of high quality streamers at decent prices which are far below their competitors. After reading reviews about their offerings, I purchased a WiiM mini to try out in our living room. Found it very easy to set up using their free app for IOS and Android (Note, a HUGE plus that their Android app does NOT require google play services as I am running a de-googled phone and tablet). Liked that it had optical out so I could take advantage of my Topping DAC (which was superior to the one in the Mini, though that one is fine for most people). Loved being able to stream low res (Pandora), high res (Amazon) and ultra high res (Qobuz) from one device using their well thought out and very useful app. WiiM Mini: Pros: price, decent DAC, Optical output, seamless connection to main streaming services. Cons: no support for Squeezelite (for connection to local ripped music using LMS (Lyrion Music Server)). The lack of Squeezelite support on the Mini was not a deal breaker in the location where I had it installed (living room) as the streaming options more than took care of our music requirements there. But my office / family room was another matter. I have hundreds of ripped CDs (to FLAC) on my LMS server and up until then, had been using a Raspberry Pi 4 running moOde audio player as the Squeezelite end point to connect to LMS.This has worked well but I was hoping to find a single solution for streaming and using my local audio on LMS. The WiiM Pro, the Mini's big brother, looked to be the solution I was looking for. Since I would be using a Topping DAC, I didn't feel the need to spring for the Pro Plus (which has a better DAC). I purchased the WiiM Pro and as with the Mini, set up was a breeze. I enabled Squeezelite from the setting and it immediately found and connected to my LMS server. I then had access to streaming and my LMS music collection form within the WiiM app. Very sweet! And even better, I love the material skin that was created for the old/outdated LMS interface and can control the playing of my local music from there (which I prefer) or use the WiiM app. Both work flawlessly. WiiM Pro: Pros: price, decent DAC, optical and RCA analog inputs, optical, coax, RCA analog outputs. Gigabit Ethernet as well as WiFi. Cons: None Time went by and then I saw that WiiM released an amp called the Vibelink. Read a number of reviews including those on Audio Science Review, and all praised the build, specs and capabilities of this $300 amp. I thought my current receivers/amps (Yamaha) were decent but the Vibelink sure was enticing. It checked all the boxes of what I needed: Inputs: Optical, Coax, RCA. Superior DAC, Analog pass-thru w/o ADC processing. Banana plug speaker connectors. Not a lot of extras in the box that impacted the sound quality. I bit the bullet and placed an order. Installation was easy and the WiiM app detected it and downloaded/installed the firmware update. Connected my turntable (RCA input), CD player (optical digital in) and WiiM Pro (digital coax in). Turned it on and WOW. I thought my Yamaha receiver was decent so didn't expect to hear much or any difference. Was I wrong. Sound was much fuller and clearer. It had more "presence and clarity" is how I think I would describe it. Connected to Qobuz and streamed some jazz and rock @ 24/96 and it sounded incredible. Streamed some typical HD rock from Amazon 16/44.1 and it too sounded excellent. Played a CD and it was clearer than I had ever heard before. Spun up a jazz LP, and wow, could not believe how clean and clear an old Vinyl album could sound. Even low res Pandora streaming sounded good (though no where near HD or UHD streaming from Qobuz). I knew right away this was money well spent. WiiM Vibelink Amp Pros: Amazing sound, banana speaker connectors, digital and analog inputs, 12v trigger for auto-on when WiiM Pro streamer starts streaming music. 60 min standby / off when music stops. Cons: No remote so to adjust your volume you use the streaming app and/or manually adjust on the Amp. Not a big deal to me but this may be an issue for some if their amp is in a cabinet or not easily accessible. ditto for the power button on the back (though that does make the front much cleaner and elegant looking). I hope this review is helpful. I'm really impressed with the WiiM products I've used so far.

Genial usados con unos elac 2.0 ub52 de 3 vías. Los altavoces van de cine, los uso para ordenador, ver pelis y musica a través de una interfaz focusrite 2i2 4gen. Absolutamente nada de hiss. Los mejores altavoces que he tenido y el amplificador está a la altura, los mueve con soltura.

WiiM Vibelink Amp [versterker] is aangesloten op de WiiM Ultra [streamer], en klinkt zeer goed met de B&W DM603 S2 AE speakers.

At this price point this little amp delivers big. Great features, power, clarity and general performance.
