Line Out and Coax Out active at same time

[Nstzya]

I would like to have Line Out and Coax Out both active at same time. I use Coax Out to an external DAC (actually DSP active bookshelf speakers) and would like to use Line Out at the same time to drive an analog active subwoofer to supplement the DSP bookshelves. So ideally, the line out would actually become a sub out. Not sure if hardware permits this or not, however.

WiiM is a great product with a great SQ without breaking the bank. Another feature i miss is visual feedback, even if its one scrolling line, of what’s being commanded/selected and playing. I think there’s another thread for that request.

Easiest way of doing that is using a second phone/tablet as a display.

Can’t your receiver feed the whole house thru one of its analog out connections?

No, I can't. I am using a rather high end receiver but it will not process the digital inputs to analog to send to the Zone2/3 outputs so I need both active like the Sonos did. Plus, I am fine using the analog outputs from the WiiM for the whole house audio zones but I would prefer to simultaneously use the digital outputs and the higher end DAC in my receiver for decoding in just the main zone. The Sonos did this but was limited to 44.1/16 output on the digital output. This is the main reason I got a WiiM was for the higher end digital output. Which I now can't use if I want audio in the entire house

Spdif, LineOut and Coax assignable-active at same time with assignable, adjustable high/low pass filters…use Wiim as master volume control and enjoy bass management independent of whatever old amp and,powered sub you’ve connected

I too want/need the analog and digital outputs (SPDIF and COAX) both active simultaneously. Can we please update the software to allow this? Upgraded from a Sonos Connect to a WiiM Pro Plus today and discovered it's only one or the other with the WiiM. On the Sonos both analog and digital outputs were active at the same time. I want to use the digital out with bit perfect stream to my receiver for the main room and the analog for whole house audio feed.

I have the exact same issue: I upgraded from a Sonos Connect to a WiiM Pro + and discovered later on that the WiiM can't make use of simultaneous outputs -- but the more limited Sonos Connect can! Seems like an easy win for WiiM over Sonos if they could activate this change -- maybe with a firmware update?

I would also like to have both, line out and digital out simultaneously. Line out and Bluetooth would be neat as well. Other than that, I am quite satisfied with the pro plus. Great product !

I've made the mistake of buying a Pro Plus assuming that it would have simultaneous outputs. Was going to put my old Sonos stuff on Ebay, now rethinking. Would be great if Wiim could enable simultaneous outputs.

I’d suggest raising a feature request ticket as well thru the settings/feedback section in the app to raise the visibility of your request

Many receivers have at least 2 line outputs. Connect your WiiM here as Brantome suggested.

I am OP and my specific use - digital out to digital active bookshelf speakers simultaneous with analog out to analog sub - would require both outputs to be active (and ideally time aligned and/or adjustable). Ironically, here I am posting almost a year to the day later and the issue remains.

The new Ultra has a dedicated analog sub out, which would seem to solve my use issue. Except for the fact that it will ship without the possibility of having both digital and analog outputs simultaneously active! Huh???

This does not seem like all that an unusual feature need/request and applicable to many users needs.

The Amp currently does that although I wouldn’t class the sub as a selectable “output” as such nor an option on par with coax, optical, Bluetooth or line out outputs. The sub can be enlivened whether you use any of the main outputs, and the Ultra will do the same.

Good suggestion
