A Sonos Roam fed by airplay from an internal WiiM Pro?

oh no no.. the usb is has-been (and not even talking about aes coax or toslink).. you need hdmi is2 or possibly hdmi and st/att for optics... and your turns everything else for a price very small...!
(and clock very high performance of course! )

(with my Roon hat on) Any chance WiiM will add HDMI out to a WiiM Pro-type unit to support multichannel audio (e.g. blu-ray audio)? I believe this is the only way to support it in Roon (via HDMI out to an AVR based on what I’m learning as optical out isn’t supported). Looks like the Node doesn’t support this either, but would be a killer feature in a WiiM unit. 
First post here. I am really happy with my wiim pro (hooked up to my main NAIM system) and will order a pro plus soon to start going multiroom.
A couple things I would like to see as I add more wiim units throughout my house.
1) A modestly powered amplifier / wiim combo that I could hide in a closet to run in ceiling/wall speakers.
2) IR out to let a wiim control volume, inputs etc. on connected equipment through the wiim app.
3) A speaker/wiim combo would be nice to have as a easily portable solution for rooms without a stereo system. (I am thinking outdoors or kitchen etc..).

If you ever consider doing this with LMS I use a Libratone Zipp and the Airplay Bridge. Works perfectly as long as there is a decent WiFi signal
For background, I currently have a Mini in one system, and am adding a Pro to another system in the next few days.
I think a full-function streamer/hub/2-channel preamp would be cool. Add an amp and speakers or powered speakers and you’re done – you have a system that handles all your sources and has standard Wiim streaming capabilities.

I’m thinking the following:
- Inputs: multiple HDMI, multiple optical, multiple coax, USB, Bluetooth (SBC/AAC/aptX/LDAC would be nice), analog, standard WiiM streaming capabilities (ethernet and wifi).
- Outputs: HDMI (video passthrough to TV), balanced XLR analog stereo, unbalanced RCA analog stereo, headphone out.
- Display: simple display would be nice.
- Controls on the unit: basic controls/buttons/knobs on the unit for volume, source, and on/off would be nice.
- Remote Control: basic remote control for volume, sources, and on/off would be nice.
- I would also want the unit to function without a network connection (minus streaming, of course) for when one’s network is down or for use in places without a network (for crazy people like me that sometimes take a system on vacations
).

Which price would you accept for such a box?
Assuming that was for me, maybe around $400-450 USD, but I have no idea if that's in the right ballpark from a cost of manufacturing standpoint.

I fear, that is far away. But if WiiM really will build that I am onboard

Any chance of a modern, compact AV processor?
Inputs: HDMI eARC, Toslink, Ethernet, Wi-Fi.
Outputs: 7.2 line out RCAs (balanced TRS would be a dream though).
Supporting all current Dolby and DTS standards, individual channel levels, PEQ and subwoofer cutoff adjustments.

The questions is if you are ready for at least 1000$ in price-increase?
What new product would I like to see?
My WiiM Pros are pretty much exactly what I wanted in a streamer when I was new to this concept. They are well designed and affordable for several listening areas. On my primary stereo, a WiiM Pro or WiiM Pro plus in a premium metal case, but with the addition of USB digital out to go to an external DAC and maybe a an integrated power supply to avoid the wall wart.

Additionally I would love a quality aluminium case
