What makes you think I’m not on one already? :LOL:

Is this up and running yet? If so, how is it working? How do you know what the correct setting is? If it’s through the room correction set up, can you set latency yourself with room correction turned off?

My mind may be made up/my hand forced simply be the Ultra arriving earlier.

I’ll just plug mine in via ethernet.

WiiM have conspired to impose an unimaginable torture on me. And, I suspect, others. I won’t go all the way back to the first streamers, but with the Amp we had a seemingly perfect* device. The DAC and amp effectively transparent, with a cheap but efficient amplification stage, and a feature...

Fair point. It’s up to Brantome. I will note, without any reference to any individual, that in any instance like this, there is an alternative explanation as to what’s going on. I’ll leave you to figure out what that might be, if it’s not already obvious. I make no comment either way as to...

I think that’s the point. If we read a post and it makes no sense, if other forum members can’t understand it, something is going wrong. I’m sorry if that’s controversial or insulting; it’s certainly not supposed to be.
