[DangeRuss]

I think adding an I2S Output would be phenomenal

And adding a turntable input would be phonomenal

Sorry, couldn't resist it...

Add additional outlet for toaster as well

Any chance the Wiim pros can be modded internally to output I2S or any planned devices to offer this ? I currently use Amazon music unlimited on MacBook usb out to Amanero I2S output to feed my diy discrete dac . A Wiim pro type device would be ideal much more convenient to use than the MacBook

Study: Is I²S interface better for DACs than S/PDIF or USB?

This is an analysis of I²S interface to see if it is superior to S/PDIF or USB interconnects for audio DACs. From what I recall, it was PS Audio that popularized I²S for external DAC connections. Phillips (now NXP) had invented I²S years early as an internal protocol to route audio. It was...
