Nothing - only one output can be active at a time.
Damn. So I can't use the Ultra as a preamp if I want to use an external preamp, and vice versa. That kinda sucks.

There was chatter of being able to use analog and digital out together, but nothing has come of it yet afaik.
e.g. from the ultra faq page
Edit: that answer makes no sense, surely? Isn't that what it does right now with grouping?
Anyway, see next post...

| Will you be able to cast to other devices while outputting to the line out? More specifically, will you be able to use the wiim ultra to output the phono stage to line out and cast to another room simultaneously? | This is a feature we are currently evaluating. |

Actually, this is the one I was thinking of
No, I have no idea how much later!
| Can it be configured to send the audio to all output channels simultaneously -- both Analog and Digital? | We can output to all channels simultaneously with software update that we will do later. |

In theory but I would prefer to use the Ultra for its remote control. No biggie I can still use it as a pre and use its internal DAC and when I want to use the external DAC I’ll switch to a different pre. And I can still use the remote control even when using an external preamp. So all good.
Thanks for your help.
