100 Watts of HiFi Power, Built for WiiM
The WiiM Vibelink Amp is a HiFi integrated amplifier that delivers 100W per channel at 8Ω and 200W per channel at 4Ω. It is designed to pair with WiiM streamers, including the Mini, Pro, Pro Plus and Ultra, and connects by analogue RCA or digital optical and coaxial inputs. Inside are audiophile parts including an ESS DAC and a Texas Instruments amplifier stage.
Why You'll Love It
- Serious power. 100W per channel at 8Ω and 200W per channel at 4Ω drive a wide range of passive speakers with control.
- Made for WiiM streamers. It is built to pair with the WiiM Mini, Pro, Pro Plus and Ultra for straightforward plug and play playback.
- Audiophile components. An ESS 9039Q2M DAC, a TI TPA3255 amplifier and six TI OPA1612 op-amps keep distortion low and detail high.
Under the Hood
- Premium signal path. The ESS 9039Q2M DAC and pure analogue input support bit-perfect playback up to 192 kHz / 24-bit.
- PFFB technology. Post Filter Feedback compensates for load variations to keep sound consistent across different speakers.
- Managed for heat. A copper heat pipe, a large aluminium heatsink and real-time PID temperature control keep it stable under load.
CHT Insider Verdict
The Vibelink Amp is the natural partner for a WiiM streamer, turning it into a complete system with plenty of power for the money. The component choices, from the ESS DAC to the PFFB output stage, are unusually serious at this price. Add a pair of passive speakers and a WiiM source, and you have a compact, capable HiFi system.
Pro Tip: Running a turntable? Connect it to the RCA input with a separate phono stage such as the Pro-Ject Phono Box DS2 in between, as the Vibelink Amp does not include a phono input.
