my English does not allow me to communicate, etc.

but it seems to be referring to latency.
just for information
one thing that I was able to notice is that the mini already has a big delay on an audio chromecast while simultaneously listening to an internet radio (aac192k hificast chrome-wiim home mini)...
really sensitive
experience it if you have the opportunity
;-)

Pro's latency seems to be quite high, so the latency compensation option is a must to be on the TV.

 

[Mr Ee]

But doesn't latency adjustment on a TV normally just allow you to increase the audio delay?
I have (had) the same issue with a bluesound node via hdmi - audio delay via Node was so bad that TV was unwatchable, and the TV settings only allowed me to increase the latency.
Solution was to use TV toslink out straight to my amp instead.

Depends. My TV lets me delay audio or video.

Just to update: we are shipped this week our first batch of WiiM Pro to Amazon distribution centers and hope to be sold on Amazon.com at the earliest late next week for our North America listings.

Out Amazon US, CA, MX listings will receive inventory this month.

We expect our European Amazon listings to get inventory in January.

Just a bit better but still not satisfied. No Pro as a Christmas gift.

Canada will receive shipment this month. So will be available for purchase hopefully late next week or the following week. Depends on how quickly Amazon can distribute the shipment.

 

[onlyoneme]

So you prefer NA definitely. I will buy Node instead of Pro to punish you.

Ah, wish we could have it in time for Christmas. I can check to see if there's a way we can get it to Europe sooner.

Looks promising. Maybe I'll reconsider my purchase decision.

What country are you in Europe?

 

[onlyoneme]

What country are you in Europe?

Wild lands of Poland.

You might regret it if you buy a Node

 

[onlyoneme]

You might regret it if you buy a Node

Punishment first, regret later.
