USB output

[nonloso]

It would be nice to activate USB out. The WiiM Amp is probably running some kind of linux variant, so it should be only matter of loading the appropriate software modules/drivers.
This would allow plugging a USB dongle for wired headphone connection, making the Amp the perfect all-in-one system, at least for my use case.

I think it might well run Tina Linux, but even though I don’t have knowledge of WiiM’s code (but did have a career in IT), I guess it’ll involve more than just loading some drivers

Anyhow, it’s under development…

Thanks for the link! I had searched the forum but did not find that info, which looks indeed excellent.
If it allows volume control (and with the option of muting the main amp) it would be for me the killer feature, since it was more or less the only reason for me to refrain from purchasing the Amp...

You need to click the arrow-up icon to the right of the original post (or right below, depending on screen resolution) to make your vote count. It will change to orange, once you have clicked on it.

Few members do so (unfortunately), so let's hope WiiM is also monitoring the number of replies for feature requests.
