I don’t see any audio delay between optical and line out of the YouTube tests I used. Not noticeable to my eyes anyway.

Thanks. I understand how it works but without knowing the design internals of the active speakers then it’s impossible to know if the analogue inputs go through an ADC before then going through a DAC like the Kefs. I failed to mention the ADC but wasn’t sure if some digital conversion was used...

I’ve discovered that my Kanto YU6 speakers don’t use ADC to DAC for any of the analogue inputs and they are purely amplified (different to the Kefs). https://blog.kantoaudio.com/what-is-a-dac/ The digital inputs of course use the speaker DAC.

Pro was connected same way to the speakers (optical) but was connected to TV with optical but I definitely hear an improvement both on TV and streaming music on the Ultra - the EQ on the Ultra is far more influential than the Pro EQ, the difference is huge. I’m experimenting now having just...

Nice speakers! My understanding - which may be entirely incorrect - is that any analogue input into the speakers would be amplified only and bypass the internal speaker DAC? You’re right though experimentation is needed assuming I can hear a difference.

Hi. I’ve just upgraded from a WiiM Pro to Ultra and the improvement in sound quality is definitely noticeable. My Ultra is connected to my Kanto YU6 speakers using optical and my TV to Ultra using HDMI but it occurred to me are both DACs being used, as in the DAC in the Ultra and the DAC in the...

Yes I experience the SPDIF input crackling too on firmware 4.8.520133. Previously I would experience audio drop outs on the SPDIF input. Those have gone now but instead I get occasional crackling.

Yes tried reboot and power cycle. I tried again last night. If I manually change to another input in the app other than optical it then switched back to optical as intended after going into standby. As soon as I cast from Chromecast, disconnected from Chromecast, the pro goes into standby and...

Yes. Submitted already.

Auto-sensing used to work but updated to firmware 4.8.520133 and now it doesn’t work. If the Wiim Pro is streaming music from Chromecast and I stop casting - disconnect from the Wiim pro via Chromecast app - then after the wiim pro goes into standby it should auto sense the active optical input...

The 500mvrms setting didn’t help the audio drop outs I’m experiencing on TV -> toslink -> Wiim Pro -> toslink -> Powered speaker.

I’ve stopped using the optical input now on the Pro. My TV is connected directly to the speaker via optical - no drop outs now. Pro used only for casting and have to switch inputs on the speaker between TV and Pro optical inputs.

Another firmware update 4.8.513047. Another release that doesn’t resolve the audio dropping issue.

Yes I really like the Pro for my setup of a TV and powered Kanto speakers and sub. The auto sensing input feature and the short standby time allow me to switch automatically between casting music and TV without any use of the Kanto remote control which is good in a household where if I...

Sorry. My bad. Not fixed. Put the box in standby for a couple of minutes and the drop outs returned like before.
