Reduced latency on analog inputs

[Sampo]

I have a somewhat specific feature request. Some people might enjoy using Wiim Ultra's analog inputs to connect music equipment and play through the speakers with room correction eq applied. This might include stuff like DJ equipment, turntables, electric piano or some other instruments plugged into the line in. When I tried this I experienced so much latency that the unit is unusable for this application. I know Ultra is not designed for this application but direct monitoring option on the analog inputs would greatly expand functionality of the already great device. Thanks!

Ultra also has way too high latency for any live music

Well that sucks... is there a fix/workaround for this? I guess I dont have to move away from my POWERNODE since this is a common thing with these amps.

I'm looking to move away from the Bluesound POWERNODE and to a WiiM Ultra but only if it solves this delay issue... reason being, I wish to connect my DJ mixer to the WiiM occasionally, but the 50ms delay on my BLUESOUND makes this difficult. Does anyone know if the Ultra has a fix for this?

Nope, the Ultra has the same problem.. minimum 50ms delay on the output. That's why we're all here asking for a fix

What I do is.. I have an independent sound system for my living room with its own DSP and all... I feed the DJ mixer into one input on that, and the Wiim Ultra goes into another input. So my DJ setup doesn't go through the Wiim. This means that I can't really use the sub output or really any DSP features of the Wiim, all that is done by the DSP in my main system. Not ideal but I had the other system before I got the Wiim.. I just added the Wiim and use it as a basic streamer into the other system.... For now it's the only solution.
