Will an HDMI output be added to a WiiM streamer in the future?

I'm really interested in if an HDMI output will be added to a WiiM streamer in the future. I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 and it has an HDMI output. It's an excellent feature especially the ability to play 5.1 files when connected to an AVR/processor. I have a WiiM Ultra and Pro in two different systems and they are both great streamers. The WiiM app and features like being able to link two or more of their streamers is an awesome feature. Also the ability to play multiple albums with Qobuz or from a USB hard drive (Ultra) using the "Play Last" feature is also great. Eversolo does not offer the ability (at this time) to link two DMP-A6s together nor the "Play Last" feature.

If WiiM came out with an "Ultra Pro" with an HDMI output capable of playing 5.1 or even Atmos files that would be a game changer IMO. I really like the DMP-A6 and it's HDMI output option as well as the onboard SSD capability. But I'd go all WiiM if there was an "Ultra Pro" released with an HDMI output. I just flat out prefer the WiiM app and WiiM's support over Eversolo's.

Thanks for posting that link. I have already seen that and not a direction that I need to go in. I already have a 5.1 system with a processor, multiple amps for each channel and two subs. Having a streamer like the Ultra with an HDMI output would be all that would be needed for anyone that already has a surround setup. That being an AVR/processor, amps, array of speakers and sub(s).
