I think we have had enough stupid suggestions in this thread, so how about some sensible suggestions from now on.

Bridgeable stereo/mono power amp.

Dump the volume control, dac etc from the Vibelink, but give it a mono switch so people can use two for upgraded sound.

How would it work without the DAC? How would the sound get out to your analog speakers?

WiiM streamers have analog line outs.

But most people would want to use the digital outputs.

The DAC inside the WiiM Ultra isn't really significantly better than the DAC inside the Vibelink, but since the Vibelink has its own DAC, it makes more sense to use it because digital signals have better integrity over a cable length of any run than an analog signal.

The DAC/analog out of the WiiM Ultra is fine as long as the amp (destination) has single-ended inputs.

A simple request: a black version of WiiM Ultra that adds native, non-PCM conversion support for DSD (of course understanding that the only thing it can do with DSD is control volume), native support for DXD (PCM up to 384KHz), and analog output for up to 7.2 channels (to take optimal advantage of the Dolby Digital decoding abilities of the unit and allow for support of multiple or stereo subwoofers). I think this would really open up the product for a lot more people (especially people asking for more A/V features, and also better satisfying, "purists") as well as people who refuse to put silver/grey things into their media rack (like myself).
