WiiM Talks Vibelink Amp and Vibelink Amp Continued
In our latest WiiM Talks series, we sat down with the Product Manager behind the Vibelink Amp to discuss its design philosophy, technical innovations, and future impact on WiiM’s ecosystem. The Vibelink Amp prioritizes pure sound reproduction, featuring premium components like the ESS 9039Q2M DAC and TI TPA3255 amplifier chips, delivering clean, dynamic audio without unnecessary extras.
Users have been curious about its lack of streaming capabilities, subwoofer output, and remote control, but the design focuses on seamless integration with WiiM streamers for a minimalist, high-performance setup. The discussion with our product manager also covered wireless Dolby technology, potential future expansions, and how the Vibelink Amp addresses common issues with external DACs and amps.
