Okay, I’m about to get a Pro for my office. It’ll drive my set up, which starts with a DAC (I won’t go into the rest), currently controlled by my laptop (more in a moment). I usually use the Amazon Music desktop app, but will use the WiiM app with the Pro.
Here’s the thing, the app is on the phone. But a phone is (a) touchscreen and (b) small, whilst I want to use (a) a traditional full size keyboard and mouse, and (b) a monitor.
My laptop set-up, I use it less as a laptop and more in place of a PC tower - I have an external Dell monitor (I use HDMI out from the laptop to display port in on the monitor), and a separate wired traditional keyboard and mouse.
In addition (if it helps) I have an Amazon Kindle Fire.m, on which I understand the app works.
I understand that WiiM app on PC is poor, so that’s out.
I could get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for the Kindle. Any way to connect it to the monitor? Or the iPhone?
Anyway, over to you. How can I control the Pro using a traditional keyboard and mouse, and displayed on a monitor.
Surely I can’t be the only one who’d like to do this.
Anyone?
