What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

I have a Wiim Mini. I'm really happy with it. The app is great, but the internal DAC is a bit underwhelming.
I would love to see something with a far superior DAC, a screen, USB connectivity and possibly a headphone amp. Something that can challenge the lower/mid streamers like C/A CXN V2.
If you can pull it off for £350-£500, it will be unbeatable.

You don’t really need the bandwidth of eArc for stereo audio though
If you can build an LP12 for the price of a Pro-Ject E1 it will unbeatable

Sounds OKThis will be a running gag....now I am living near keel
Maybe they could launch something more up-market than the entry level products they are offering now. Something maybe like a separate ("Ultra"???) line of products...
A streamer with all bells and whistles (protocol-wise and connection-wise, but still with the WiiM Home control app, a remote and a screen), an attainable DAC/preamp that could compete sound-wise with the likes of Chord Mojo 2, and (for example) a Purify/ICE/Hypex-powered stereo amp. All in matching Alu-cases.
That's a combination I would purchase from WiiM, for sure...

What if you want to connect to a receiver for Dolby Atmos playback. Some of the streaming services are offering multi-channel music. If you’re going to put HDMI it might as well be the latest version.

What's the big need for HDMI ARC ? Who wants the TV turning on the stereo. I have had two dacs with it and it's pretty useless. A regular HDMI input that can take the hdmi audio from my Sony bluray player would be more useful.
The tv has optical out if I want to listen to it.

The main advantages of hdmi arc over optical is the tv remote can be used - with optical on lots of TVs you have to switch to the Wiim remote from the tv remote and back again. With my family if something like watching tv requires 2 remote's they won’t do it.
