Is the Mino a Tidal on the cheap? No – it’s a Vimberg! On this showing it need make no apologies for that. The beauty here goes way more than merely skin deep and, as attractive as the Mino most definitely is, its real appeal only emerges once you hear it sing. This isn’t Tidal-lite: instead its Tidal DNA applied just as meticulously to a more affordable set of parts – with spectacularly successful musical results. The Vimberg Mino might not actually set the world alight, but it should seriously shake up the high-end speaker market.
