Lewis CaliburnWiiM has announced the Vibelink Amp – a 100W per-channel (8Ω), integrated amplifier that stands apart from other products in the WiiM range as it’s the first product in the family to not feature built-in wi-fi streaming.
In this way, it is the perfect complement to the Mini, Pro and Ultra streaming products, as it allows users to combine streaming technology with WiiM’s most powerful and complete amplifier solution yet.
“As our user base continues to grow, we’ve listened closely to the needs of our community,” says Dr. Lifeng Zhao, CEO of WiiM. “Many audio enthusiasts love the flexibility of streaming but don’t always want or need a connected amp. For those using devices like the WiiM Mini, Ultra, Pro, or other streaming solutions, we wanted to offer an amp that delivers exceptional sound quality and power without the need for Wi-Fi connectivity. This new design gives our customers more choice – allowing them to integrate seamlessly into their setup while still enjoying the rich, pure audio experience we’re known for.”
The Vibelink Amp is the ideal amplification solution for existing WiiM streamer owners, offering powerful output and a high-quality sound. It’s also an ideal cosmetic match for the WiiM Ultra, making a system that offers flexibility and ease of use.
Boasting 100W per-channel into 8Ω speakers (200W @ 4Ω), this two-channel Class-D integrated amplifier is designed to provide room-filling sound, capable of handling complex soundscapes and details without distortion.
Featuring a premium built-in ESS ES9038Q2M DAC, the Vibelink Amp reportedly ensures the highest fidelity from digital sources, dynamically supporting variable sample rates and bit depths for optimal sound. It also handles analogue inputs with ease, offering a versatile solution for any audio setup. All built around the TI TPA3255 Amp Chip, the resulting clean, rich sound is optimised to bring out the nuances of every note.
Having both analogue (RCA) and digital (Optical, Coaxial) inputs allow users to connect with a range of audio sources, from classic turntables to the latest streaming devices, offering an upgrade on the sound achieved by many built-in DACs.
The anti-pop noise design prevents sound interruptions when switching inputs or adjusting settings.
Specially designed with copper heat pipes, a large aluminium heatsink, and a heat-spreading case to reduce hot spots and effectively manage the internally generated heat, the Vibelink Amp also features PID-based thermal management software to ensure optimal temperature regulation.
Engineered for seamless integration into the WiiM ecosystem, it pairs with all WiiM streamers – including the WiiM Ultra, which shares the same compact design for easy stacking, as well as the Pro Plus, Pro, and Mini – to deliver multi-room audio.
The Vibelink Amp is priced at £319.00 SRP and it is available in Space Grey or Silver finish. Stock begins shipping during April 2025 via Henley Audio in the UK.
