WiiM Amp: noticeable signal delay, even on HDMI and Optical?

[Antares]

I've been using the WiiM Amp for a few weeks now and I'm impressed. It's a great amplifier with great features. However, I noticed that there is a significant delay. I notice this during movies, but especially during gaming and playing guitar.

In "Group Audio Delay", I've set every input to 70ms, but this is still far too high for my liking.

When I was looking for reviews, none of them addressed this latency. Hopefully, it is something that can get addressed with a software update in the near future?
I wonder if anyone else is having these issues as well?

See this thread and others where I recall it being suggested that the WiiM amp is perhaps not the best choice for a guitar amp…

Thread 'Reduced latency on analog inputs'

Dec 3, 2024

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!

Thanks! So it seems I'm not the only one.

I wonder if it is intrinsic to the device or DSP in general, or that it could get fixed at some point with a software update. Apart from that, I still think it is a great device.
