No different than Sonos.The slight delay in sound through the WiiM pro (lipsync when watching TV ) seems to be a less good thing .
Buyers of this player - do you recognize this as a flaw and is it serious ?
Is it on all inputs ?
Is that for toslink in - toslink out or streaming tv audio to the wiim?The slight delay in sound through the WiiM pro (lipsync when watching TV ) seems to be a less good thing .

If Sonos have lipsync issues then its really bad. My Yamaha wxc50 dont have this fault, not on AirPlay ( sound casted from Apple TV while watching movies ) or toslink . And I dont think bluesound node 2 has it either.No different than Sonos.
I just wired up my Samsung Frame TV’s optical out to the Wiim Pro’s optical in and from its coax into my amp and I could barely detect any lip sync issues, if at all.The slight delay in sound through the WiiM pro (lipsync when watching TV ) seems to be a less good thing .

Not necessarily a strange use case as my amp only has one optical input which my WiiM Mini currently uses. However, with my WiiM Pro, I can use its optical in for my tv, and its coax out into my amp. I couldn’t detect any annoying lip sync issues watching terrestrial tv that way.Is that for toslink in - toslink out or streaming tv audio to the wiim?
Either would be a strange use case, wouldn't it? Unless the pro can do peq or room correction which I believe it can't, or very limited.
You can also use a toslink splitter, or a toslink to coaxial converter. To be honest, i think that is a minor annoyance easy to deal with, not even a flaw. Now, if the wiim was doing room correction or Dirac or something like that, then you would want the audio signal to go through it, and in this case the lipsync issue would be indeed a major flaw, this is what I was referring to.Not necessarily a strange use case as my amp only has one optical input which my WiiM Mini currently uses.

Ok, but I have no need for another device like a toslink splitter, nor would a toslink to coaxial converter help as my amp also only has one coax input that the Pro is using. So using the WiiM Pro as an intermediary is very convenient for me and doesn’t cause any issues.You can also use a toslink splitter, or a toslink to coaxial converter.

Yes, the WiiM Pro can indeed be used as a ChromeCast target by the native Qobuz app, but currently it’s limited to 24/96 as per this screenshot from my iPad.So this device will play Qobuz natively through chromecast? How are they able to do that but Google can't? If so, with the optical input and output, then it's a bit of a game changer. Very easy to integrate it into a hifi/tv audio setup.
Thats good newsI just wired up my Samsung Frame TV’s optical out to the Wiim Pro’s optical in and from its coax into my amp and I could barely detect any lip sync issues, if at all.
but qobuz has already been working for a long time with the mini and without chromecast, right?Yes, the WiiM Pro can indeed be used as a ChromeCast target by the native Qobuz app, but currently it’s limited to 24/96 as per this screenshot from my iPad.
I’ve submitted a ticket to WiiM and posted elsewhere to ask if that can be extended to 24/192 since the Pro can accept that which I coincidentally proved by playing the same track from Qobuz using the BubbleUPNP app on my phone.
From the WiiM app, yes, the same as Tidal, Amazon Music, Deezer etc. But not as a target device from the native Qobuz app since that doesn’t have a connect mechanism like Tidal, Spotify and Amazon Music do. In the absence of such a connect mechanism for Qobuz, Chromecast support on the Pro will give the native Qobuz app a hi res lossless pseudo-connect option that it otherwise wouldn’t have.but qobuz has already been working for a long time with the mini and without chromecast, right?
