Argh!! You are right... But looking back at the original Announcements and even the current Product Overview for WiiM Amp and Amp Pro reference USB as only regarding USB Disk / Thumb Drives (except in the recently updated specs table graphic). And the recently posted page for the WiiM Amp...

Where are the "audio purists" to "debate" (different use of word) the first-time inclusion of USB-Audio Out on a member of the WiiM AMP family of products?? Has WiiM again committed the sin of "product-class bending"??

Submit a Ticket with this suggestion via the WHA App.

Not talking about a Pre-Amp, rather a quality Passive Switcher Rolls SS421or SS32. Else, one can spend Pre-Amp money for an audiophile Active Switcher Manley Skipjack RCA Switcher.

You need to direct your ire at Apple. It has been obvious that Apple has denied WiiM any Certification for use of AirPlay. Despite the "fig leaf" that WiiM employed late in the marketing run-up to release of the Ultra "that WiiM Ultra didn't have" whatever was lacking for AirPlay, it was...

Any reason that you aren't in search of a high quality Analog Audio 2:1 Switch to sit in front of your Tube Amp with selectability for both your Phono Pre-Amp and your WiiM Streamer DAC?? (No, I haven't researched available units - as I'm not in the market.)

With all that, you'll have no time left to listen to the music!!

But, is your view taking into account all the other background functionality and connectivity which are still enabled whilst the WiiM is in "sleep" mode: being an automatic endpoint for the various Cast services as well as auto-detect for Optical In (and HDMI-ARC for the Ultra et al) as well as...

If you didn't catch it from the older posts, the configuration is usually not desired because you are running the Source Audio through multiple ADC-DAC conversion sets (ADC into your AVR - DAC out your AVR Pre-outs - ADC into the Ultra - then DAC out of either Ultra or follow-on external DAC...

You don't think Apple relishes its role as the Spiteful 900lb Gorilla??

It is doubtful that any of this was directly "LinkPlay's Decision" but rather "Apple Blacklisting from MFi Certification - due to the unauthorized AirPlay Cast deployment" (remember that?). This is supported by the timing and sequencing of AirPlay2 removal from the Ultra Feature List well after...

What microphone used?? Could this be a limit of the measuring equipment ??

Four days plus, since this Release... And not available to any of my 3x ProPlus units... I'd really wanted to (re-)explore the DSD Audio possibilities this Long Weekend...

Except that isn't exactly how CEC works when a Cable is presented after NOT being present. Many CEC-enabled devices try to "Train" (re-learn) the Remote Device capabilities, and most HDMI Devices will initiate a full handshake. (This is unlikely desirable - either the Delay or the potential...

Depends on what Source(s) you connect to the Vibelink, and how you like your deep bass. The Vibelink DAC surely beats the old Burr-Brown in the A-S701, but the latter has discrete Subwoofer support (though with a fixed 90hz crossover) and high-quality 12000pf Block Caps for control of the Woofers.
