When using the HDMI input for movies (stereo PCM) or Tidal Connect for 16bit 44.1kHz FLAC music, the VU meter works beautifully, but as soon as I play any hi res 24bit music, the VU meter is slow, delayed, no longer smooth, and stutters. The best way I can describe it is it looks like it's operating at like 6-12 fps with 100-300ms input delay instead of the usual 20-30fps and 20-40ms input delay. Can the processor not handle both hi res audio and accurate VU (digital dB) metering? If so, I'll just not use the VU meter anymore because I don't think it's a good idea for my Wiim Ultra processor to operate at 100% a lot. However, I do like the VU meter and it's a bit silly that a hifi device would struggle to process hifi. Or, maybe, it just allocates less processing for the meter to ensure the audio processing works right: that would be great.
