If you're hesitating so much between the wiim and Fosi mono...simple.....buy a 3e A5... ;-))

Thanks but they only seem to be available through Aliexpress here, which I'm not keen on. Plus for some reason the pictures have a different label/name (Soyyin?) to the units I've seen reviewed. I'd rather spend a bit extra and be more confident in the product.

 

[canard]

just find out a little more...... ;-)

(but if you wait any longer, there will definitely be other newcomers in this fast-moving market...which won't help your in-depth study before buying ;-) )

The manual says it is full brightness when on and half brightness (not off) when in standby.

-Ed

"In standby mode, the LED light will dim to half brightness. In sleep mode, the LED
light will turn off."

I just got home and checked the vibelink, and the led is off.
I'm wondering whether the ultra woke itself up shortly before I checked this morning.
i.e. ultra woke up, ultra is set to go to standby after 1 hour, vibelink waits another 30 mins.
Maybe I just timed it well (or badly)?

Hi Mr Ee, Team

Please update the Vibelink firmware using the WiiM Home App. Simply move your mobile phone close to the Vibelink Amp, and the app will automatically detect the device and begin the update process.
Give it a try, and let us know if everything works smoothly!

 

[EddNog]

How do you find the Vibelink's overall performance and sound compared to the v3 monos (I'm particularly interested in this as I've also been considering the v3)?
And I could be completely misunderstanding your point about gain etc (as I'm still learning about this stuff), but I thought that the v3's measured performance was a fair bit better with xlr than rca input? Or am I mixing up gain with power/noise performance?

Generally speaking, the V3 Monos, VibeLink, and 3e A7 are all neutral and transparent enough that, if comparing blindly with volume level matched, you would not be able to consistently pick one out from the other.

Did you make this direct comparison? Under what conditions? On what types of music? etc...
thank you

Done that, update applied. I'll see how it behaves over the next couple of days.
Took me a moment to remember I had to enable bluetooth for this to work!

However, when I use the 'power' button for the vibelink within the Devices screen to turn the amp 'off' I get a pop through the speakers.
Same volume pop regardless of vibelink volume setting.
Doesn't happen if I use the physical button on the back of the vibelink to turn it 'off'.

I don't own the 3e amps, only the VibeLink and Fosis. I think the differentiator among these products is feature set, price, and aesthetics, other than power. The VibeLink, if you own a WiiM Ultra, has the best aesthetics for the money. If you need more power, there is the IOM Ultra (which I've also owned). If you want to save money and/or don't care about the looks, go with the Fosis or the 3e A5 since they would be cheaper than a VibeLink, and the V3 Monos provide more power than the VibeLink, too. Personally, I find the 12V trigger indispensible, and the 3e amps don't support 12V trigger, and this is my main reason for disregarding their amps entirely. Let me know when 3e implements 12V trigger and I'll be interested. There are also other options for very little money, much cheaper than any of the above, if you don't need 12V trigger, Douk A5 comes to mind. All of the amps I mentioned feature neutral/flat (in the audible band) frequency response thanks to use of feedback, and they all have very little distortion.

Hi Mr Ee,

Thank you for testing it out! The feature does require Bluetooth for communication. As for the pop noise, I’ll bring it up with our team—we’ll look into applying the same handling as we do for the physical button.
Stay tuned, and thanks again for your feedback!

Thank you Ed for your insights

I checked IOMs webshop for the IOM Ultra Amp….at this moment they ask nearly 700,-€ for the Ultra-Amp incl. Taxes+ Shipping. Audiophonics Hypex Ncore NC252MP Amp, is just 559,-€ incl. tax and shipping. Different casetype though.

IOMs pricing is almost 2x the Vibelink not mentioning Fosi/Douk/etc.
Will see if the WAF outweighs the higher price for the IOM.

Still waiting for the silver Vibelink version before making any decision

Agreed; IOM is definitely charging a premium to have Hypex in a case that matches WiiM Ultra. Otherwise, you can easily find other amps based on higher level modules (NC500 for example) for same or less money, just not in an enclosure that matches the WiiM.

finally switzerland has the pleasure of enjoying the wiim vibelink.

so the wiim amp pro is now in the cellar (storage) and wiim ultra & vibelink amp in use... there's definitely more bass coming out of the speakers now.
always nice when even the wife thinks - wow that sounds richer now

is the vibelink always switched off after 30' when the trigger 12v cable is connected or can this be set when the device is to be switched off? will there be sw. release notes from the wiim vibelink?

would be nice if you could adjust the volume a little faster via arc. different speed levels from min. to max.

that felt better with the wiim amp pro. more direct/faster

thxs wiim..

Glad you're Happy, , overall sound is good? Dynamics, stereo separation? Mine is arriving tomorrow,, (Ireland)..

i have set the amp to 60-70% volume and i have to say that fits... for bridging it fits...

as a wiim producer i would rather have made a wiim amp pro "xy" which is twice as high as the wiim amp pro and put the power in there...

this is all nagging at a high level...
we also have to be satisfied sometimes and at the same time i simply see incredible potential that puts many old-fashioned manufacturers in the shade...

i'm basically a fan of the wiim amp & wim amp pro series - one device - low power consumption

i've wanted this for decades - compact and all the connections you need for everyday use. it has to be said that wiim is the only manufacturer that has finally got this right, including the wiim home app that grows with the customer. i really enjoy reading along in this wiim world. thanks to everyone

so now i will continue to use the wiim ultra & vibelink combo and see how my buchardt audio p300 experience the new input...

never forget - music helps to better understand the madness on the globe...

The original WiiM Amp drew me into the "WiiM universe" and I'm sure many still don't quite understand how much of a game changer this little gem really was. The WiiM Amp Pro built on this strong foundation, and I understand your desire for an even more capable all-in-one device. However, few customers are looking for an all-in-one flagship product. The WiiM Ultra combined with the WiiM Vibelink Amp make for quite an exquisite combo (and power consumption is still so much lower than for traditional gear).

Both are still getting better with each software update.

 

[Otacon89]

It Isn't currently possible to switch the Vibelink inputs using the WiiM Home App.

Your English is Very Good.

Thanks for the reply, maybe in the near future (via sotfware update) there will be a possibility to switch inputs on the vibelink amp.

The Vibelink Amp ist now also available in Germany but only the space grey version. Does anybody know if the silver version will also be available in Germany or Europe ? I have a Wiim Ultra in silver, so I want to match the color version.

In the UK it's listed as late May to mid June. I couldn't wait so if you have OCD look away now. You have been warned!

“If you consider that this product costs about the same as a good night out in town, this is impressive!” Damn expensive night out!

 

[canard]

First audiophile style review?

joined the idea of considering it more as a 70/75w...which is nothing to be ashamed of and is sufficient for most cases concerning the essential uses of it, for example a pair of easy-to-operate bookshelves
;-)
