Are the dac the same in the pro amp and the vibe link? If I have a proamp would I need a vibelink?

Not the same, but the difference is probably inaudible (ES9038Q2M vs ES9039Q2M).

Hey everyone, I've published some answers for some top questions you've asked in here in our the first WiiM Talks article. If you have more questions you'd like to see answered on Vibelink Amp or other WiiM related topics, feel free to throw them into the comments of the post!

I agree that the difference from the dac chip itself is probably minimal, but the difference in sound between the amp pro and the vibelink certainly is not.

I agree on this, having previously auditioned an Amp Pro and now owning a VibeLink.

If you were thinking of using just the streaming part of the amp pro and a vibelink for amplification then no, this won't work.
There's no way to connect the amp pro to the vibelink.
Well, I suppose you could go amp pro usb out to a usb to optical converter to vibelink optical in, but...

So have they deliberately made the Amp Pro sound worse than the Vibelink? It's the same amplifier chip after all.

Or optimistically, they’ve deliberately made the vibelink even better?

By design or by luck?

They made the Vibelink sound +2,2dB "better" than the Amp Pro.

 

[slartibartfast]

They made the Vibelink sound +2,2dB "better" than the Amp Pro.

So now louder is "better" even at 1% THD

Hi, I’m in the middle of setting up a bed-/workingroom.
Setup will consist of the Ultra at the center, plus some KEF LS50Meta (my dearest „requested“ blue speakers ) Next limiting factor…no subwoofer, no extra boxes with dsp/dac.

So my setup would be different to yours. I‘m struggling selecting a suitable amplifier and before the Vibelink was announced I checked the usual suspects from Fosi V3 Mono / 3E Audio A7 Mono…

At the moment I have a NAD c368 80w/ucd Amp connected to the Metas. This sounds OK ….but I can’t shake the feeling….that there could be be a level up from the used NAD?

Any advice from your side being a Ultra/Meta/Vibelink user?
Highly appreciated
Thanx

An IOM Ultra (Hypex NC252MP) will give you everything you’re looking for (enough power to extract the best from the LS50 Metas, matching look, small form factor, amazing clarity, dead neutral tonality).

Why no sub out?

 

[EddNog]

Why no sub out?

I think they expect you to use the bass management in the attached streamer (e.g. WiiM Ultra) instead. They probably didn't want the added cost or complication of the necessary software interface for configuring the bass management features in VibeLink if it had a subwoofer output, especially as even more complaints about duplicating features already in the WiiM Ultra would likely come in.

-Ed

 

[Burnside]

Why no sub out?

“ Think of it as the minimalist audiophile’s dream—it cuts the fluff and delivers outstanding performance where it matters most. With premium components like the ESS 9039Q2M DAC, TI TPA3255 amplifier chips, six TI OPA1612 op-amps, and Post-Filter Feedback (PFFB) technology, it’s all about clean, dynamic, and highly accurate audio. By skipping features like streaming or a subwoofer output, the Vibelink Amp keeps the focus on top-notch sound.”
