Haha... No... But if I had to guess what would you mean (which I don't like that) is asking what technology of class d I would want to implement.... Ncore or purify is the standard answer...

What do you mean? I did not understand...

Soundstage network provides the most complete and reliable measurements. I would sent the amp there for testing.

Seeing this graph is underwhelming… They should have gone with better implementation of class d…

For fidelity you need to control volume from a lossless volume control . Wiim ultra volume is not lossless so it makes sense to use the volume control of vibelink amp or your integrated amp

do you know if the volume control is analogue in the amp? If i connect a streamer either digitally as a transport or as streaming dac to the analogue input of the vibelink amp would I be able to control volume without any bit reduction, essentially in a lossless way?

Ah sorry . Did not phrase that correctly . I meant if you also tested it as a dac. But in your case it may not matter since you will have double conversions

As a dac compared to your dac and wiim’s dac?

Are you returning it ? @DG77

who gives this warranty? wiim as a company?

Not a little better . He says that the 349pound device is at most for background music compared to it…

I am setting the volume as such using my pre amp inside my integrated amp that approximately falls on that range (80-83dbc) on average if I measure the output of sound at my listening position with SPL meter. What is your point ?

There is a review on ear.net https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/bluesound-node-icon-budget-high-end/

Not with that accuracy. I just check the spl meter which has built in calibration for my iphone 15 bottom mic
