Amp ultra review

Sorry, this is just circular pedantry now. I’m out…

Thanks for your inputs and help,,

So, I don't see how am integrated Amp Ultra could be better than Ultra + Vibelink.

Dual TPA3255 chips instead of one.
Shorter signal path, optimised PCB.
Less potential for ground loops.

I can think of reasons how this is possible.

Flexibility and included features are the reasons to pick the Wiim Ultra plus WiiM Vibelink Amp over the WiiM Amp Ultra. Not sound quality.

The Amp Ultra sounds great and easily drives my Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2 to alarming sound pressure levels. Don't know what Randy did wrong this time.

Hi everyone, let's keep the discussion friendly! I think a lot of the questions in here have been answered in our recent WiiM Talks discussion with the product manager behind the Amp Ultra, check it out here if you haven't read through it.

Why all-in-one? Well, I for one prefer simple and uncluttered. If I can find one single box that does everything I need as well as two or more other boxes, I’m going with the single box solution. And I am ecstatic that WiiM has gone ahead and provided exactly that, as well as some other options for those whose needs are different from mine.

Hi all,
I just looked at cheap audio man, a review on the Ultra amp,
He reckons that the Ultra and vibelink combo sound better than the amp ultra,
Anyone got any inputs and opinions, on this as I'm getting the amp ultra soon.
Thanks

Hi, I just saw this YT review yesterday and I found it very informative on the exact subject you're talking about.

No, this video is not on the exact same subject. It doesn't deal with the WiiM Amp Ultra at all and it brings nothing new to the table concerning the WiiM Vibelink Amp.

No facts given ("it will do 88 dB" is not a fact), just opinion. Not quite as misleading as Randy, since the comparison is missing.

Sorry I thought I was replying to the fellow who declared his exit from the discussion because it had become pedantic.

OK,, that was a different post, all in one, or a combo setup,, no probs,,

And another one - this one is from Poland (and in Polish). In short: he liked it a lot and found it to be sound-wise much better than Amp Pro and inexpensive Denon / a bit better than inexpensive Yamaha. And obviously much better than non-WiiMs in terms of functionality. -->

Great review! Well done, accurate. He even supports the development of a super streamer transport - good man!

I love the idea of a single box in my main system, will the Amp Ultra finally be the product that lets me retire my collection of vintage amps?

 

[Frank Varon]

Certainly could be!

Respectfully, it's puzzling that he would reacon that the Ultra+Vibelink would sound better than the Amp Ultra. That's not a very credible comment is it? I have subscribed to Cheap Audio Man for about 6 months. While he is a good source of information on new products he seems to always be in a rush except for promoting products that he receives incentives on. He's not he only one. I do like his excitement but his discussions are always rushed leaving out a lot of detail. I have unsubscribed to quite a few but kept him. Still can't decide if his channel is worth the time. Oh well.
