Simultaneous playback analog and optical digital out?

[Corbin]

Is there a way to output both signals at the same time?

Until I receive my Wiim Pro unit I’m using the multi zone playback from my amp.
But that one (Onkyo TX-NR646) wont play digital inputs to the analog out. I would like to play digital on my main amp, and send an analog signal to the second amp in the other room.

I have also ordered the Geshelli Labs J2 but thats probably going to take 2 month before i get it.

Part of the reason I’m here is because it’s like an improv episode of The IT Crowd.

That’s hilarious

Let's hope they don't break the Internet...

Curious if you got your Geshelli yet. I’ve been waiting for mine for a couple of months.

Won’t be of any interest to most people here but the Squeezebox Touch which is 10+ years old has USB, optical, coaxial and RCA out and they are all live at the same time.
Fabulous audio streamer. Way ahead of its time. A simple plugin takes it to 24/192 on two of the digital outputs.

This is of interest to me! I came to this thread for (almost) the exact same situation... I wanted to see if I could shift from my Squeezebox over the the WiiM Pro as my LMS target, but I need analog and digital to both be active for my home/office audio chain.

The only difference... my active Squeezebox is a Classic V3 (and even my V2) which also has simultaneous playback, and they are at half a decade older (2005) than that Touch (2010).
