WiiM Vibelink Amp

[elshaddai]

The other way around : Why is the Coax labelled coax in when RCA and Optical are just labelled "in"?

I would assume it is to eliminate any confusion about where to plug a black-and-red RCA pair into. They could have used yellow or purple RCA jacks instead, but it was probably cheaper to print the extra word on the case.

Could also be the case that these are pre- or early-production units, and comments in a thread such as this re cosmetic items might lead to them being relabelled in retail versions.

I get Apple TV vibes from that remote as well

How could a push button next to the power cord be a power switch? It must be something different!

Interestingly this appears to be the first WiiM device that isn't class 2 but has a proper safety ground.

I noted it above (138) like you... they had so many problems with the pre-series etc that it's really good news..
(I hope...)

I didn't review this whole thread so this may have been posted already.
There is a mention of the Vibelink towards the end of the video.

So, any cable fitting the WiiM Ultra will also fit the WiiM Vibelink Amp.

Yes, and hopefully there is more room around these than the ultra, but as its ideal partner is the ultra...

Edit: @harkpabst beat me to it by a second or two!

I wonder whether the number buttons on the remote control will do anything with the Vibelink?

I’m wondering if, when used with the Ultra, the remote can be used for the Ultra.

If Ultra don’t have larger space than on my Pro, that isn’t a positive thing

WiiM have been good at including audio cables. This could come with ‘recess friendly’ cables for all three inputs.

And hey, a set of custom banana plugs.

Talking of which, this has just occluded to me. In the EU I believe inputs for banana plugs are banned unless plastic plugs are placed in the sockets, though these can be removed. I wonder how they’re going to get round this?

You know, I'm known to be 100% egoistic: All the RCA cables I have collected through the decades fit the WiiM Ultra, so ...

The EU? Why should we in the UK worry about that?

Easy, just like the Audio Pro WiiM edition, don't sell them in Europe

One of the photos showed two of the speaker terminals as 'banana holes' and the other two with a cap on them, possibly for bare wire connections?
Or was it just perspective??
I'll have to find it again.

I think you've got it right, it's a screw in/screw out, or push in/pull out affair, as with the phono ground adaptor on the Ultra.

So if you have banana plugs, you push straight in, otherwise you push/screw in the binding posts.

For the uninitiated, with Brexit, upon leaving the EU, parliament passed a law saying we were keeping all the EU's laws (introducing them directly into British law) unless we specifically changed them.

I'm not sure the Allowance of Banana Plugs in Hi-Fi Equipment 2029 white paper has been published yet.

I have never bought an amplifier with EU legal speaker connectors. Did the WiiM Amp have caps concealing the holes
