Play simultaneously on wired speakers and Bluetooth

Hi,
For now the Amp Pro can only play on wires speakers OR Bluetooth speaker alternatively but not simultaneously (selecting 2 outputs at the same time).
Would be very nice to be able to do that.
Many thanks

I feel it might be a baked in hardware design as all WiiM devices have had that constraint since day one.

Interesting you mention it. I was thinking about this just a few hours ago. Though the success of my 'plan' is questionable from the start.
I was thinking of creating a stereo pair consisting of a WiiM Sound and a Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i. Silly idea, I know, even if wired (or native on the Sound) and BT output did work simultaneously.

Would be a stretch no? As best case the Amp will stream stereo to the Sound AND stereo as well to the Flex but never Right and Left channels separately?

That’s a shame cause it would be so convenient. Anyone at WiiM to consider this for future upgrades?
A huge thank you!

What‘s your intended use case?

To do multiroom in a degraded mode for relatively rare occasions I need it. With prior Powernode I was using Airplay 2 to cast in both living room and kitchen but with the Amp Pro I don't have that option anymore...
Appreciating offering to play simultaneously on wired speakers and Bluetooth might be seen as cannibalizing potential WiiM speakers sales by LinkPlay but I don't think it would in practice given Bluetooth is pretty limited.
Adding that simultaneous wired + Bluetooth play feature would be great for many users I guess!
