When WiiM Amp is set to Bluetooth, allow the subwoofer output to stay active

This would allow us to listen to music on Bluetooth headphones while still having a subwoofer.

But if you had headphones on, surely you wouldn’t hear the subwoofer?

As Mr Ee said through his album cover, subwoofers are more about the feeling than the hearing. Low frequencies travel and permeate.

It's the biggest missing part for me when listening to my music in headphones laying in bed. The sound stage is great, but I'm missing that low end feeling that the subwoofer provides.

I love using headphones and a sub. For anyone who hasn't tried this, you're in for a treat.

This is easy with my Ultra to my headphone DAC and wired headphones. This would be very tricky with Bluetooth due to timing/latency of Bluetooth and keeping that in sync with the sub. But hey, now that we can adjust the timing/delay of the sub, maybe it's possible.

Often the reason to use headphones is to listen without disturbing others. If you then add a subwoofer....

Agreed.. So wanting this on the WiiM Amp with Bluetooth is a niche inside a niche use case and probably not likely to be addressed.
