Request to "universally" fix the USB Out to permit devices to go into standby mode.

[ajax]

Hi, I wanted to make sure this hasn't been tagged as a solved issue.

Although a recent update was supposed to fix this issue, it wasn't. At least not for all devices.

Specific cases are those who had Topping DACs. For some reason they don't go into standby mode alongside WiiM Ultra.

some say it's because when the WiiM goes into standby, it keeps comunicating with the DAC, some that it's because it keeps sending power to it. But whatever the reason, these DACs don't go into standby and have to be turned off manually. Even worse, if the WiiM does some type of overnight reboot (which is somewhat often) as my DAC finally stops seeing the WiiM and the starts seeing it again, turns back on.

Please give this feature propper attention as it's creating an bad/unwanted outcome.

Thanks.

Edit: as some of the current users benefit from the way the Ultra currently works, please make this a feature that can be enabled/disable.

I posted this as under feature request. I understand your point, but I still feel it fits under this category. Still, I'll take your advice and also send a feedback ticket.

You may want that behavior but others may disagree… The current behavior works, so I suggest that if @WiiM Team is going to make changes please do that as a checked option, not as an outright port behavior change.

Yes. "Feature request" can be misunderstood as a request to WiiM. It's however meant to be for the forum discussing new features.

Why would you want the USB port to be powered in standby mode?

I just Edited the original post to mention this. Thanks.

My point is… it works now, do not 'fix' what works.

It can be an option.

It can be an option.

That’s exactly what I proposed.
