Output the center channel via S/PDIF digital Optical output. Even better output select AC-3 channels to S/PDIF digital outputs.

Most soundbars have optical S/PDIF TOSLINK input making it possible to use them Dolby 5.1 center channel.

Not sure if the Ultra hardware supports single or multiple AC-3 channels to digital output.

Hopefully feature can be implemented in software.

Hi,

Unfortunately, all WiiM devices are not able to output audio from multiple output jacks simultaneously. (Simultaneous output has been requested many times but has not been achieved.)

Also, Ultra can input Dolby Digital audio, but can only output stereo audio. Only wireless Dolby 5.1 using multiple WiiM devices is supported.

Made this setup earlier in the week and it works great my Ultra is now preamp for everything
