The usb on any wiim for the purpose of external drive and dacs. You can put usb hub and can connect multiple dac and drive. Regular amp has it so you may want to check release note.
What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

You mean the WiiM Ultra and WiiM Amp Pro should be downgraded from the ES9038Q2M they are currently using to the older ES9028Q2M (as found in the DC10) and they should degrade measured performance to the level of the DC10?
That doesn't make any sense to me.
Many of us here connect wiim ultra via external dac. What so great about ultra was very flexible that you can connect all of its digital out to external dac. One of affordable dac out there was topping e50. It uses ess 9068 and high performance op amp, which was step up from ultra. I have been listening to John Lennon imagine for more than 3 decades and was everyday being repeated atlist 30 times daily. Using high quality dac, it was noticeable the decay linger bit longer than ultra built in.
Certainly not the DC10, right?
No, i have 6 dacs in total with 3 ess and 2 akm and 1 multibit. The entry ess sound ok for casual listening. The second one which on par with ultra dac clear detailed sound. The third one which doubled the price same as ultra but cohesive sound with decay linger bit longer. I know you may say im having delusion describing the differences. Like most listeners where they listen to countless songs so they are not really familiar what have changed. You can certainly tell if the song you been listening for many decades and many times over everyday. Your miles may vary.

I have a Pro+ and the DC10 is an upgrade to it's DAC. Implementation is more important than chip set.
NEOHIPO DC10 Stereo DAC Review
This is a review and detailed measurements of the NEOHIPO DC10 budget stereo DAC. It was sent to me by the company and is on sale for US $48. Suggested retail price is $80. The two switches feel solid and frankly all that is needed in a simple DAC. Back panel follows the same rule: Let's...

I don't have the amp. I have the Pro (streamer). So a USB hub is useless. But my real point was to remain competitive with Bluesound a rethink on the ProPlus streamer might be in order.

Yes it does but don’t expect that will satisfy the most discriminating listener. They are meant for casual listening passing time or doing some chores.I have a Pro+ and the DC10 is an upgrade to it's DAC. Implementation is more important than chip set.
