What will Wiim present at Munich High End 2025?

[Flatron7]

As per the title I would be curious to know your opinions on what product/s Wiim will present this year in Munich. New streamers or what else? They just presented the new amplifier and Ultra is still riding high. What will Wiim surprise us with? New high-end streamer?

 

[Burnside]

Unless the vibelink has nudged it off their hardware roadmap, I’d maybe expect a merge of the Ultra and amp as hinted at last year’s Munich Show viz. https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/what-products-youd-like-to-see-wiim-produce.725/post-72014

Or maybe a mk2 mini with the firmware features of the later WiiM models (including squeezelite for example) to compete with the FiiO K11, or DAC-less streamer many have asked for.

Or their own speakers, like the Sub Pro that quietly appeared at the Bristol show?

to compete with the FiiO K11

Did you mean the SR11 ?
The K11 is a DAC/Headphone amp and has no networking ?

Probably

Paul @ PS Audio thinks they’ll announce Qobuz Connect.

Not Wiim's shout - I'd expect Qobuz to announce that, although a joint announcement might be a possibility, along with simultaneous announcements from Denon/Marantz/Heos, Eversolo etc

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Paul says he thinks Qobuz will announce Connect at Munich.

WiiM Vibelink Subwoofer

But wait! Did anyone notice the WiiM subwoofer on the floor at the Bristol show? I think most people missed it. This raises the most obvious of questions: why would WiiM make a subwoofer when it doesn’t make streaming active loudspeakers? The answer, no doubt, will come at Munich High-End 2025.

WiiM’s Vibelink integrated amplifier is a little perplexing | Darko.Audio

I will admit to being a little confounded by WiiM's latest product announcement. Teased at the Bristol Hifi Show last month, the Vibelink comes with: an unconventional name; the press release cliché double-whammy of "room filling sound" and "studio quality sound"; 100wpc of TI's TPA3255 Class D...

That's the Sub Pro I mentioned in comment #2 above, and I'd doubt they'd call it the Vibelink Subwoofer as the Vibelink doesn't have a sub out and linking the two even in name would just cause unnecessary confusion

Why not? Both Vibelink devices would be connectable to the regular WiiMs. Linkable with the vibe

True, but which would get fewer comments about the vibelink amp not having a sub connection?

Let's wait and see what the future will show

 

[zalex]

Hope we will have:
- 2 different power amplifiers with same design as and for the WIIM ultra : one with TPA3255 AMP or similar, one with Ncore amplifier, with XLR inputs (see IOM ultra amp)
- one WIIM ultra "plus"with XLR output
- one power amp for WIIM PRO & WIIM PRO PLUS, based on TPA4255 AMP or similar

(this is my 1st post, I'm from France)

Fingers crossed for a Purifi based amp .. Optermistic?

 

[BK308]

I’d like to see an updated Ultra with a center channel output for the future 5.1 integration.

Hi BK308, Team

We’ll be releasing a Beta software update next week with center channel support. Stay tuned—exciting improvements are on the way!
