I wonder if the ARC upgrade helps me with the lip sync issue I have. I connected my TV to my Ultra with both, RCA and ARC, and I get a quote back lip sync problem with ARC that completely goes away when I use the analog input. The problem is I lose ARC volume control when I use RCA, so ideally they fix the ARC lip sync issue.

I’m wondering if this advanced peq can be used on rc.

I also wonder if this ARC upgrade fix the issue with the WiiM highjacking my TV sound even with all HDMI CEC ARC options turned off?

Still no independent RC/EQ

What does it mean "legitimacy" of the DNS server?

Wasn't HDMI auto sensing already a feature?

Wasn't HDMI auto sensing already a feature?

Optical auto sensing and HDMI auto sensing can now be enabled or disabled individually. This is a novelty.

Previously, HDMI auto sensing used to be tied to optical auto sensing, but as of late, it's been removed (relying on CEC functionality, only).

Still haven’t got it ..

Still haven’t got it ..

Most people haven't got it yet.

 

[Skull]

Nor have I but nothing in it for me so not bothered

Ah, the voluptuous moment you realize an update is knocking on the door of your Ultra...
(already told, Ultra gets too many updates.)

 

[Smartplug]

As more people buy ultra the longer it takes to get update. It takes time for their server to update all ultra connected online. The new amp ultra gets update fast as it doesn’t have many online yet.

My Ultra received this yesterday

 

[Wiimer]

Oh, I mistook it for Amp Ultra; Ultra is not yet.
Sorry..


Hmmm, I'm sure updated it yesterday. That's strange...

 

[Mr Ee]

Voluptuous?? Hopefullly a translation issue!
My (non amp ) ultra got this at least yesterday.

 

[Smartplug]

Oh, I mistook it for Amp Ultra; Ultra is not yet.
Sorry..


Hmmm, I'm sure updated it yesterday. That's strange...

I specifically stated ultra but I guess you misread what I said. Around this time it should have landed in our devices usually takes couple of days after the announcement.

No, I received the Amp Ultra update the day before yesterday. And yesterday received another update. I thought it was Ultra, but when checked the device info, for some reason it wasn't the latest version. Maybe I was looking at a mirage...
