Roon - WIIM Ultra - Wi-fi

[Pcryan5]

I use Roon with WIIM Ultra. WiiM is connected to powered speakers via 3.5 cables. If I try to add my Kitchen Devialet to a zone via WI-Fi to the stream it results in sync issues in playback. (Almost sounds echoey)
Any way to reduce this or should I head over the the WiiM site?
My thanks as always.

After playing with my WiiM Pros and Pro Plus and Roon for a while, I've finally figured out how to get them to sync.

Second, the "sync" option is not really a sync at all. It is a delay to compensate for processing latency INSIDE the units. Each output mode (Optical (TOSLINK), RCA digital (SPDIF), and Line-Out...
