Upgrade wiim amp pro question

[gasolin75]

Not shure where on wiim to ask

Here it goes

New wharfedale diamond 12.1i is really good in some areas, better than my other speakers

Wanna improve sound even more with better bass control and general better sound in most areas

Own a wiim amp pro with upgraded feet,power cabel, generally quality cable

wiim amp ultra should sound a little better and more power + a screen

vibelink + wiim amp ultra = more flexibility but same amp chip tpa 3255

If i buy the combo i would have liked it wiim made it so you can disable one of the 2 volumes knobs (also if you would buy a wiim pro plus)

I need room correction, so just the amp is no option do to how roomfit adjust the sound = i just need room correction

With the combo what would give the lowest noise ? Volume on the streamer at max and adjust the sound on the amp or the opposite

Amp max volume and adjust sound from the streamer

what sounds best, the wim amp ultra or the vibelink,wiim ultra combo ?

For an upgraded power cable is aliexpress the only place ? (42 euros + what ever shipping is)

It's not about if it makes a difference, it's about finding something that isn't out of stock and use to cost around 120 euros (audioquest)

You can effectively disable the ultra's volume knob by setting fixed volume output.
The vibelink's volume knob is much, much nicer to use than the ultra's.
However, as the vibelink volume can only be changed by the knob then it's almost certainly more convenient to set and forget the vibelink to a specific volume (which may be max) and control the volume from the ultra in its various ways.
Can't say I notice a noise difference either way.
Also can't say I can tell the ultra+vibelink apart from the amp ultra, so it probably does come down to box count and functionality.
If you get the ultra+vibelink you will want a trigger cable.
I do think both are an improvement on the amp pro, with the level of improvement being very significant in my main setup, but less pronounced in others. For me, it was more about the clarity and overall engagement of the music.

I tried to look at amps costing 3 times as much as a wiim amp pro with a discount

I will get more power but most i want is better sound,improved bass control

I vould like a fixed output on both or just to be able to use the amp as a power amp even bridged would be nice and more imput 2-3 digital in 1-2 analog in and 2 digital out and 1 or 2 analog in

A smart way of connecting the streamer to the amp so all inputs can benefit from room correction, eq

A smart way to improve bass control and get generally better sound with smallish 2 way speakers is to add a subwoofer or two.

Maybe you should better ask on the ASR forum.
