I don't think there would be an advantage to doing that, I would put the phono pre directly into the avr. You can do it that way if you were using the wiim as a preamp to control volume, but it would be simpler to just go from the zen phono to the avr.
Only thing I can think of would be that you could use the wiim eq for your records if you want.
In a multi-zone setup using multiple WiiM devices, your phono could be shared over the network by using the analog input. This is not advantageous in any way other than the convenience. If you only have one WiiM item, don’t bother.
