Taki Udon has been teasing the Console Mode for his Superstation is coming very soon. It looks incredible, but no clarity yet as to whether this will be available on day one for old school MiSTer builds.

I realise that the WiiM Ultra does not do analog passthrough (of a turntable). But is there some trickery that can be used to stream my turntable AND retain its analog signal?

I was wondering whether it is possible to have the turntable going through the Ultra, but only use its pre-amp when I am streaming, and then effectively bypass the Ultra when I want to retain the analog signal of my turntable... maybe I need some kind of splitter, or better trickery?

So here are the two use cases I would like to switch between, without unplugging/replugging any wires:

1. Turntable -> WiiM Ultra bypass / analog passthrough trickery --> output to amp Audiolab preamp (analog) -> music plays from Audiolab 9000a
2. Turntable ->WiiM Ultra preamp --digitise signal (DAC)--> output to both WiiM units over network -> output to amps (digital)

I would then just need to switch between WiiM Ultra analog and digital outputs to decide whether I play my turntable via Audiolab phono preamp, or WiiM Ultra phono preamp.

Is it possible?
