Was it really worth releasing this less than a week after the last update without including "Smart Presets"?

Try registering the preset again.

I don't think I have smart presets yet. Should I have them?

Listening with headphones via a DAC or a bluetooth dongle, other than switching manually turning the subwoofer panel off every time I switch between headphone and speaker listening , how do I disable USB simultaneous subwoofer output?

For the Amp, many wondered what the point of having usb audio out was. Headphone use was the main (only?) reasonable answer.
So for the amp, it absolutely makes sense that sub on/off should be output specific, not just yes/no.
While I greatly applaud wim's development efforts and continued functionality improvements, it's amazing to me how often wiim don't seem to think about how a product will actually be used.
There are numerous other examples of somewhat flawed initial implementations, although again, I commend wiim on listening and responding to the feedback.

I'm also slightly surprised how not being able to choose sub on/off per output hasn't really been raised for the ultra until usb with sub out came along. Surely the same issue exists no matter what output you use for headphones.
