With a focus on seamless integration and premium sound, the Vibelink Amp aims to provide a flexible solution for audiophiles seeking high-performance amplification without unnecessary complexity.

Designed for passive speakers and existing streamers, the company boasts its Vibelink Amp delivers 67% more power than the WiiM Amp Pro and features a high-resolution ESS ES9038Q2M DAC supporting up to 192kHz/24-bit audio. Unlike many powered amplifiers, its optical and coaxial digital inputs accommodate variable sample rates and bit depths, ensuring maximum compatibility across digital and analogue sources.

Dr. Lifeng Zhao, CEO of WiiM, highlighted the company’s commitment to user feedback.

Many audio enthusiasts love streaming's flexibility but don’t always want or need a connected amp. They were also frustrated with the digital audio limitations of other powered amps on the market. The Vibelink Amp provides a pure amplifier solution that maintains exceptional sound quality without needing Wi-Fi connectivity.

The Class-D amplifier promises to deliver 100W per channel (8Ω) or 200W per channel (4Ω), ensuring clean, dynamic audio with the power to drive a wide range of speakers. WiiM has incorporated a premium selection of components, including four TI OPA1612 op-amps and a TI TPA3255 amplifier chip, to ensure high-fidelity sound with minimal distortion. The amp offers analogue RCA, optical, and coaxial inputs, allowing seamless integration into diverse setups, from turntables to digital streamers.

Beyond its sonic capabilities, the Vibelink Amp is engineered for long-term reliability. WiiM says it has implemented advanced heat dissipation features, including copper heat pipes, a large aluminium heatsink, and a heat-spreading case, preventing overheating and maintaining optimal performance even during extended listening sessions. A custom anti-pop noise design ensures smooth, uninterrupted playback when switching inputs or adjusting settings, eliminating the common audio disruptions seen in many powered amplifiers. 

The company states a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 120dB (A-weighted) and a THD+N figure of -105dB (0.0005%).

Continuing its compact form factor, the Vibelink Amp shares its 200x200x63mm dimensions with the WiiM Ultra, allowing for easy stacking within the WiiM ecosystem. The device is compatible with WiiM’s Mini, Ultra, Pro, and Pro Plus streamers, enabling multi-room audio and seamless integration for users looking to expand their audio setups.

The Vibelink Amp is available for a confirmed US price of $299 and £319 in the UK. We expect the Vibelink to sell for AU$630.
