Time to start next song

[kuebba]

Hello, I have a problem with the WiiM Ultra. When I select the next song, it always takes 3 to 5 seconds for the song to start. I don't have this with the predecessor Bluesound Node or anywhere else. I stream Tidal and Flac from the NAS. Input and output also make no difference.

How long does it take you to change tracks? Direkt or more seconds?

Thank you for the link! My primarily question is, how long does it take with your wiim ultras to start the next Song. Direct or also a few seconds?

It depends on what bit rate the track has. If playing from a playlist and jumping manually around the tracks it takes about a second. For bit rates over 2Mbps maybe 2 seconds. When just playing, even when random, there is no delay.

The Ultra is buffering the track data, so when skipping tracks it needs to do this when you select the new track. If just playing, it starts the buffering before the previous track finish.

This was answered in the referenced thread.
