Remote for Vibelink amp

[EddNog]

I am will BXJ on this one. WiiM flubbed this one. Who else sells an integrated amplifier in 2026 without a remote control other than niche high end audiophile brands?

The Vibelink Amp uses Bluetooth Low Energy for updating its firmware which makes me wonder if WiiM could add remote control capability through a Vibelink Amp firmware upgrade.

Who sells a power amp with a remote control?

Look at similar products with no remote:
Fosi V3 (original stereo model)
Fosi ZA3
Aiyima A20
Aiyima A70
Topping Mini 300
Aiyima A07
Douk A5
Schiit Ragnarok
Douk ST-01 Pro
Douk NS-01G Pro
Eversolo Play
SMSL A200
SMSL A01

And literally dozens more.

It is NOT an integrated amp but a power amp.

To me it is an integrated amplifier. It has multiple inputs, and volume control on the front.

It must be a hard life if reality conflicts with perception.

Nah, I dismissed marketing BS decades ago.

Huh?

Schiit Ragnarok. Jason and Mike saw the light. They added a remote control in version 2 - "Ragnarok 2 is a modular, remote-control, balanced differential integrated amplifier" from https://www.schiit.com/public/upload/PDF/ragnarok 2 manual.pdf

SMSL A200 - "Equipped with a full-featured high-quality remote control." from https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/871.html

Eversolo Play is a streaming amplifier per Eversolo. And look here a remote for it. https://www.amazon.com/Eversolo-Remote-V16-BLE-Bluetooth-Infrared/dp/B0FGXP8B44
