    Mains hum - earthing?

    I know you've sorted this but I wanted to let you know that I have an Ultra into a Nait 5i and it's absolutely fine. Naim are very sensitive to signal grounding, there will be something in the Nait 50s manual about it no doubt. I've found you can elimate most issues by having the whole system...

    WiiM Pro optical ground loop

    Don't forget the signal cable to the sub. They can easily create ground loops and more expensive sub cables usually have a grounding lead on them.

    🎉 Introducing the Vibelink Amp – Unleash the Power of Pure Sound 🎉

    I've got both the Pro and Ultra, used as streamers into a DAC. They sound near identical to me coax or optical, with the Ultra pulling ahead via USB. Personally I wouldn't upgrade for sound but the Ultra looks better and has some neat features.

    WiiM Talks Vibelink Amp

    Thanks a lot Ryan. That was really interesting. Do you think there will possibly be a way to lock the volume of the Vibe when using the Ultra and avoid any 'mistakes'?
