I'm surprised there isn't any YouTube reviews as yet, surely WiiM sent out the vibe to reviewers.

you have on more in technical aspect that of asr...

I think I’m going to stick with my Sony strdh190

Stock's been flying off the shelves, but if you're waiting on some Youtube reviews, the good news is that we're sending out units to them soon! Can’t wait to see the vibe once everyone gets their hands on Vibelink Amp!

The name Vibelink is bad enough but shortening it to “the vibe” is even worse. Please desist for the sake of my sanity.

Your right the name is bad enough

In your mind, change it to Vibé (pronounce the e like at the end if protégé) and now it’s a lot better!

Sounds like a remote control sex toy

The product name is always going to be the Vibelink Amp, and I'm going to try hard not to shorten it to Vibelink, just in case more Vibelink products come one day. I guess you'll just have to pardon my pun

 

[mlsstl]

Guessing none of the members of this thread who aren't Wiim employees were invited to the focus group when they picked the amp's name.

 

[EddNog]

If I were on the panel, it would have wound up with some ridiculous name like WiiMless, WiiM Minus, or MiiW.

[Burnside]

I think they dropped my suggestion of the virtually invincible, best ever, low-cost, integrated, no-frills, knockout amp. Maybe they thought it was too long

 

[freaknout]

Couple of questions folks.

The 12V trigger on the Vibe will allow it to be powered up by an Ultra?

If wish to use the remote (volume) and streaming features of the Ultra and the better DAC in the Vibe, how would you go about that?

You connect the WiiM Ultra via S/PDIF (coax or Toslink) to the VibeLink, and also the 12V trigger.

I would use RCA from the Ultra to VIbelink

 

[slartibartfast]

I would use RCA from the Ultra to VIbelink

That wouldn't use the Vibelink DAC.

 

[telecastermds`]

That wouldn't use the Vibelink DAC.

Nope, I'd be using my Ultra's DAC and it's digital volume control to analog out. That is how I am using the Ultra with my Fosi V3 monoblock amps currently.

 

[harkpabst]

@freaknout had explicitly asked about how to use the DAC in the WiiM Vibelink Amp along with a trigger. If you recommend not to do it that way, it would be interesting to hear your reasoning behind it.

Personally, I'd also go with optical.

(be interresing to know if they put an impulse tranformer in input coaxial and and with the difficulties encountered by armin on the analog inputs..it would have been good to investigate coaxial vs toslink, not only toslink in num)

The WiiM's Ultra's volume control is digital. It will still work when using digital output to the VibeLink, which technically has a better DAC than the WiiM Ultra.

More importantly, the VibeLink has measured significantly better performing when using digital input than using its analog input. I'd avoid the analog input in any way possible, in fact, because frankly, the analog input does not perform up to snuff for a $300 class-D amp nowadays.

Your current setup makes sense because the ZA3s leave you no choice but to use analog input. On the VibeLink, the analog input is the worse performing option by a large measure, one quarter the THD+N.

I don't dream of the differences between these two dac, consumer , mdg ,q2m serie, , probably just a revision ... and it s very attached to the quality of their implementation ;-)
but if you compare the two face to face it will be interesting and if I'm wrong... I'll make a prompt meaculpa
;-)

and just one" small" element all..and more here in amplifier....
