Just a heads-up -- WiiM has announced they will be releasing the Amp Ultra which will combine their Ultra streamer and their Vibelink amp in a single case. It should be available third quarter 2025. This should be a really attractive option if you are really looking to minimize your electronic footprint.
All-in-One (Streamer/DAC/Amp) - Powernode vs WiiM amps
I am looking for a small room setup, with Sonus faber Lumina II Amator speakers, to be driven by an all-in-one streamer, dac and amp. Is the Bluesound Powernode relevant any more? It’s been out for 4-5 years now. The WiiM amps (and pro) have gotten rave reviews and have tons more features. Does that render the Bluesound Powernode redundant at this point?
Is there anyone who switched from Powernode to the WiiM amps? Or to any other all-in-one system? I am looking to spend $1K, max. Thank you.
