What upcoming product ? Do you mean the Pro Plus ?
No, not the Pro+. WiiM stated that a future Pro would have a USB-c digital out.
Yes, it maybe a year from now.

I don’t recall WiiM being as specific as USB-c, iirc they‘ve just said USB
These days... anything other than USB-c makes no sense.
USB on all Schitt dacs is great, probably best implementation under $3000. Trying to convert an optical to usb does not get good results. Future USB output would be great, i don’t care what dac chip is used, i wouldn’t use it. It would be a great streamer under $300
but what would be the interest for you (I also imagine that you already have a wiim (?))?
and for wiim to make a device intended for a "niche" market?
so your talk about "usb only" doesn't make sense... the contribution of usb for what not and it will do... but 99.99% of dacs have coaxial or toslink... not much usb...
""usb only""" why?
ps
machines for a niche market "a la audiophile" cheaper .. will be new and wiim will be very stupid
ps bis
on which usb-coaxial and dac sources did you find a superiority of usb over coaxial?

"niche"....lower production volume..more expensive...
;-)
you changed your "usb only", it's good but makes my point even more illusible.. it's not nice, and I don't need that to look like an idiot ... ;-))
so then...why this "usb"?
do you prefer it for use in direct comparison to coaxial at constant condions?
what specific cases?

Where did I write usb only?
Above I wrote …adding… not only, or subtracting. Just for the record.
Look if you don’t like usb don’t turn us like you that don’t want/like. Each one of us has its own personal preference. Usb is one of the most requested feature. It’s standard connection to modern home audio replacing legacy coax and toslink much like hdmi replace component video connection.
I don't understand...I suppose you ought to know. But what about the current Pro with just usb added? 20cents more ok?
I am being facetious to counter your WiiM marketing insider plan.
but of course the usb will probably not cost much to be added on the electronic side.. if not redo design a new box etc.
I that I haven't grasped for months is the instance on this "lack"...
and I have little explanation of the extreme interest of this audio output connection..
you also kick in touch it seems
seemed to me to have read a "usb only at 150dollars"...(thanks to the economy)..explain my reaction..
but i'm having trouble reading...
