WiiM has made a name for itself with budget-friendly streaming devices, but now it’s switching things up. The company has revealed its latest creation at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show—the WiiM Vibelink Amp—and it’s something a bit different from what fans might expect.
This is WiiM’s first integrated amplifier that doesn’t come with built-in streaming. That’s right—no Wi-Fi, no streaming apps baked in—just a straightforward amp focused purely on sound. If you already have your streaming setup covered, this could be the missing piece in your audio puzzle.
If you’re familiar with WiiM’s gear, like the WiiM Amp or Amp Pro, you’ll know those models come packed with built-in streaming features. But with the Vibelink Amp, WiiM is going back to basics.
This standalone amp delivers 100 watts per channel into 8-ohm speakers—enough muscle to power most passive speaker setups with ease. What you won’t find here is Wi-Fi or built-in streaming smarts. Instead, WiiM has designed the Vibelink Amp to complement its other products, such as the WiiM Mini, Pro, or Ultra, which can handle all your streaming needs.
If you’re not already part of the WiiM ecosystem, don’t worry. You can hook up any streamer you like—whether that’s a Bluesound Node or something else entirely. The Vibelink just focuses on doing one job well: powering your speakers with clean, reliable sound.
Even though it skips the streaming features, the Vibelink Amp doesn’t leave you short on connection options. It supports both analog and digital inputs, giving you plenty of flexibility depending on your setup.
For digital connections, there are optical and coaxial inputs that can handle a variety of sample rates and bit depths. That means you’ll be able to enjoy high-resolution audio from different sources without worrying about compatibility issues.
While WiiM hasn’t shared the full list of technical details yet, it’s clear that this amp is designed to handle a wide range of setups—whether you’re plugging in a turntable, CD player, or an external DAC.
One thing that hasn’t changed with the Vibelink Amp is WiiM’s focus on keeping things compact. The amp shares the same footprint as the WiiM Ultra streamer, which means you can neatly stack them together for a clean, organized setup.
WiiM has also mentioned “stylish” speaker connection options, though they haven’t gone into much detail yet. Given the company’s track record, though, it’s likely that the design will be simple and functional—something that blends easily into most audio setups without drawing too much attention.
So, who is this amp really for? If you already have a dedicated streamer—or if you’re particular about the streaming platforms you use—the Vibelink Amp could be a solid addition to your setup. It’s ideal for:
With the Vibelink Amp, WiiM seems to be targeting users who want more control over their audio gear, rather than locking them into an all-in-one ecosystem.
The WiiM Vibelink Amp is expected to launch in March 2025 and will be priced at around $400. WiiM hasn’t shared all the nitty-gritty specs yet, but more details should drop closer to the release date.
