Great, thanks for confirming. Meanwhile I  created a block diagram of the solution in question. More or less copied over the audio block form the universal link adapter project. Just added a simple USB I2S bridge. While there are several other ways implementing it on the audio side -  those two chips (ADC & DAC) are working well with ML and only require minimal surrounding components. For ML master/slave selection I probably just add a manual switch on the board. I see no application where this needs to be changed programatically during runtime... Login to view image

(snip) Don’t want to go that way.

Fair enough. It seems like the numbers were against the ULA concept. The subset of people that have the need for such a device, would want to pay a fair price for it, and have the skills and motivation to write the supporting code would be pretty small. However, a similar argument can be made for something like the Beolab 90, yet it exists ;-). Glitch

You could e.g. connect it to a single-board-computer (Raspberry Pi, etc) and basically do whatever you want. Use it like a MLGW, inject commands, extract commands and have bidirectional audio transmission. Some basic software / tinkering skills required. I would release a few examples how to do certain things but the final implementation would be up to you. It would act like a USB serial converter as well as a USB sound card. For example I’m using it in a setup where it controls a BSys3 that is connected to a LG TV. You would also be able to record analog ML audio and send it to streaming devices / speakers on your network – but that’s up to you then. Who is interested in such a thing? If there are enough people interested I’m happy to build a batch. I’m doing that out of pure fun, there is no commercial intend from my side. Nevertheless of course things do cost money. If it ever materialises I would be happy to tie every sale to some kind of Beoworld donation / sponsorship.

I would LOVE this device!
