Amp Ultra vs Ultra/Vibelink?

[Jiffylush]

However you don’t automatically get the fancy Bluetooth remote…. That’s another $31.

Yep, and I also spent a little money on the trigger cable.

I've been using my phone and the app instead of the remote, but it might be nice for guests. Hey, what's another $31 compared to how much I've spent on audio stuff this year?

Phono in was important to me, especially now that I've reached a limitation on my well loved Denon AVR-X2000 - Spotify Connect works great but it's limited to the highest setting under lossless.

I believe the only real difference after proper connection is that the Wiim Amp Ultra is the only one capable of Dolby 5.1, connecting the front left and right, the Sub, the "virtual center" and surround back left and right wirelessly. The Vibelink and the Ultra cannot do this and needs additional devises. Am I right?

No, the group leader can be a WiiM Ultra, WiiM Amp Pro, or WiiM Amp Ultra.
