What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

[F1 Fan]

A power amp please ..

A power amp please ..

May want to clarify you mean a plain power amp with no extra frills because according to WiiM, the VibeLink is a power amp.

Yes, definitely the Vibelink is a power amp,
Set the volume knob to the max and forget it.
Obviously if Wiim can make in the future something with 200 W @ 8 it will be super but, anyway, with just this Vibelink I can play a couple of Kef LS3/5A that are not the easiest of the load.

Something with more power and with a Purifi module

not a power amp then, if it's still going through a pre amp stage, even if it's set to maximum. Is the pre amp electronically bypassed?

Otherwise all integrated amplifiers could be classed as a "power amp"

There is no pre-amplification going on.

Why don’t we just call it an amp and dispense with the pedantry?

even if it is supposed to be less sensitive to the pffb load...it is on this type of "11" or even "15" ohm ( for old version) speaker that I would personally avoid the experience...
(be careful ..low admissible power otherwise it is overheating and distortion.. )

What products would you like to see based on what you've experienced so far?

A CD Player that integrates via USB to the Wiim Ultra

 

[audiobliss]

A tube preamp to use between my Ultra and amp, with three inputs, two outputs and 12v triggers.

 

[Roml2112]

A version of the ultra capable of displaying album art on a tv via hdmi arc with a built in cd player and 100 watts in to 8 ohm amp.

A 100 watt 8ohm simple stereo amp with trigger in/out for $250 american.

 

[asnow1]

Something super portable, on Par with value and sound quality as Tribit XSound Go, that allows you to listen to 2 speakers in stereo when traveling.

 

[K-L]

USB inputs and outputs on everything. I am becoming more and more convinced that this has a positive effect on digital signals. Someone else mentioned a Purifi based amp with significant wattage; perhaps integrated would be even better.

There you go. That new model from Thomas over at Galion looks good.

A CD Player that integrates via USB to the Wiim Ultra

Why USB, when WiiM have LinkPlay?

 

[DariuszP]

A CD Player that integrates via USB to the Wiim Ultra

A CD Player (transport), but with a footprint / color matching WiiM Amp Ultra. This should connect to Amp Ultra via USB (only available digital input), but also have 2 additional USB ports (passthrough from Amp) allowing to connect USB Disk and, most importantly, USB DAC (effectively: to the Amp). This way no dongles required anymore. The drive should be able to rip the CDs to the connected drive.
Maximum variant: the same but with a Blu-ray drive (that obviously would read CDs, DVDs, etc) and 2 HDMI outputs.
EDIT: Pricing: I would be prepared to pay say 250 Euro for this (Bluray version) or 150 Euro (CD version).

A CD Player that integrates via USB to the Wiim Ultra

For me, a small-sized, top-loading CD transport that integrates with any Wiim and utilizes whatever DAC the Wiim is using (internal, external). Bonus points if it stacks.
