Has The Hifiberry Team considered creating a pci express version of Amp+/Amp2 for Windows Pc or a Linux Specifically for zoned audio. Right now I have 3 rpi2s with 3 Hifiberry amps connected to them for 3 rooms in the house and also planning to add more. Seems more feesable to just have a zoned audio PCI Express card with endless options.

HiFiBerry team Hi,
at the moment we're not planning something like this. As a PCI Express card would still require an external power supply, I don't think a lot of people would be interested in something like this. An external USB version might be a bit more interesting for many people as it would be more flexible.
Best regards,

HiFiBerryKidd Thank You For Your Reply!
You mean a USB version of something like the Beocreate? Is it possible to have speaker output to 1- 5 rooms, support up to 2 speakers each room. Software to control it from same Pc, remote Pc, and app on handheld device? Since it is multizone audio would it be possible to send different music to each output simultaneously? Also microphone/intercom support...?

HiFiBerry team At the moment I don't "mean" a specific thing. We'll see what products customers are interested in. Some things might come as new products in the future, others not...
Best regards,
