Why USB?
Please do a seach in this thread. You will see the same request for a CD player multiple times.
What products you'd like to see WiiM produce?

Apparently many people like this idea
- I guess this is the purpose of this tread to learn things like this?

But also just do a check first to see if you can follow up on another discussion instead of just a new statement.Apparently many people like this idea
The USB request has been forwarded before without any explanation on why that is needed for a source that is 16/44.1.
The LinkPlay connection via the network is all what is needed and then a optical output for non-WiiMs.
The CD player would then have the option to retrieve CD Meta Data and show it in home app, TV app, and Ultra screen.

Eversolo already has the CD lookup feature. Also, Lyrion has a CDplayer plugin :

The Eversolo screen is almost twice the size of the Ultra & is a superior display. Only the end-user can decide if it's worth almost double the priceNice to get a little something for the extra cost!

An Ultra with a dedicated center out for your own center speaker and also a coaxial input so I don’t have to use a dongle for my Blu-ray player.

I have a fake UltraAlthough i am very happy with the Ultra, i would like to see a larger screen a better headphone amp and better line out if that is a weak point as indicated in some posts
But as i said I enjoy the ultra and enjoy using it.
I have a Fire HD 8 wireless tablet in its stand sitting right in front of my WiiM Pro (which has AirPlay) … works great as it’s a much bigger screen, and its wireless so I can pickup the tablet and bring it with me or sit down with it to play my music using the WiiM Home, Sonos and Roon apps

Talk about something that won’t sell. Any type of transport or CD player would be a waste of their time. IMHOApparently many people like this idea

But adding a CD play (with metadata lookup) feature would be an additional selling point.

You think it will not, I think it will do (I would buy one).

Which is why Eversolo have a model with a CD player in?
Which is why SMSL are selling the PL200?

Not only does Eversolo have a CD Edition, the CD function software is available for all their devices, allowing the user to connect their own choice of CD player.

I do. I would actually love to buy WiiM CD-player (or better yet - blu-ray drive) and this is what I tried to say

You know what? How about a VibeLink Pro or VibeLink Plus that provides more power (two TPA3255 chips & stronger internal PSU, similar to the amp stage in the WiiM Amp Ultra, or even better maybe Hypex or Purifi amp stage!), includes a remote control (so that the included analog volume control can be put to better use!), more inputs (maybe balanced input, maybe Bluetooth, especially if it supports a lossless and/or high-res format like LDAC, LHDC, or something similar), and maybe adjustable gain (like a low gain option +20dB which is the same as normal VibeLink and then a high gain option maybe like +26dB which would be in line with the Hypex or Purifi amps). Possibly upgrade the DAC to a Pro grade ESS chip, or maybe even AKM AK4499/4191EQ, and add USB input.
