WiiM Unveils Vibelink Amp at Bristol Hi-Fi Show – A Pure Amplification Solution
WiiM has taken the wraps off its latest innovation at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show, offering a first glimpse of the WiiM Vibelink Amp - the company’s first integrated amplifier without built-in streaming functionality.
Breaking away from its tradition of streaming-focused products, WiiM is positioning the Vibelink Amp as the ideal companion for its Mini, Pro, and Ultra models.
StereoNET’s UK Editor, Jay Garrett, is on the ground at Bristol and has gotten an early look at the device, which is currently being demoed alongside the WiiM Ultra in Room 312.
Unlike previous WiiM products with built-in Wi-Fi and streaming capabilities, the Vibelink Amp is designed purely for amplification. 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.
While the Vibelink Amp doesn’t stream independently, WiiM envisions it as the perfect partner to its existing lineup. Users can pair it with a WiiM Mini, Pro, or Ultra to handle streaming duties, while the Vibelink Amp focuses solely on delivering robust, high-quality amplification. Aesthetically, the Vibelink Amp’s footprint matches the WiiM Ultra, making them a seamless duo for music lovers seeking functionality and design cohesion. The amp also features stylish speaker connection options, adding to its visual appeal.
Although WiiM has yet to release full specifications, the company has confirmed that the Vibelink Amp will officially launch in March 2025. Additional details, images, and specifications will be shared at that time.
Pricing for the Vibelink Amp is suggested to be will be around £319/US$400/AU$630.
For those attending the Bristol Hi-Fi Show, WiiM invites visitors to Room 312 for an exclusive preview of the Vibelink Amp in action.
Stay tuned for more updates as our team continues to report live from the show floor!

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
