The WiiM Vibelink Amp is all about the amplification
It's the first WiiM amp with no streaming skills.

Just saw that as well. If it has 2.1 capabilities and all the preamp functionality of Ultra (without streaming), that could be very interesting indeed.The WiiM Vibelink Amp is all about the amplification

Depends what you mean by amp ultra.Is this Amp Ultra?

Article says integrated with no streaming capabilities, and shows it paired with an ultra.
So in a way, yes. And no.

That's interesting, in that it's clearly a digital amp. Question 1 will be to ask if there's a pro-direct mode for the analogue inputs.

As in, are the analog inputs digitised? Good question!

And as it's digital, will it handle EQ, etc.? Have a sub out?
If it can, you could effectively add it to a Mini and turn that pairing into a powered Ultra (sans screen).

Though sadly none round the back.

If it's a digital 2.1 integrated amp, it could also be a nice option for desktop users (who have streaming on their PCs).And as it's digital, will it handle EQ, etc.? Have a sub out?

That looks like a new (metal?) remote that was hinted at in another threadAnd as it's digital, will it handle EQ, etc.? Have a sub out?

More no in my mind as you could pair it with other WiiM devices too.

It looks like it will duplicate the pre-amp functionality (volume control) of the other WiiMs, so what is the benefit compared to using a pure amplifier?
Why would it duplicate the preamp functionality of the Ultra if it’s meant to pair with it? A pure 2.0 amp looks more likely to me.

So why the knob on the front?
And from article:
"It delivers 100W per channel (8Ω) and supports variable sample rates and bit depths, utilising premium components and advanced technologies to ensure high-fidelity performance. WiiM promises a “rich, pure audio experience” and has incorporated analogue and digital inputs, making it a versatile addition to any hi-fi setup."

Article says "WiiM is positioning the Vibelink Amp as the ideal companion for its Mini, Pro, and Ultra models." If just for Ultra, why does it have a volume control? Until we see the back, hard to know how much overlap there is.

It's not. No network connectivity.
