A50+ delay/latency time for optical IP to Speaker output

[onepoint]

Hi - am new here.

Im researching getting an amp/preamp for my TV room using the optical output from my TV.

What sort of latency time does the optical input have to the speaker outputs?

ALSO - can I control the volume level and source selection of an A50+ through Home Assistant? I couldnt find any reference on the A50+ product page that suggests it supports linkplay.

Hi,
Have you read this thread?

TV audio streaming: how to get audio & video synched?

TV Audio Streaming - How to get audio & video synchronized? For quite a while I am trying to connect wireless speakers (active speakers with Arylic Up2Stream Mini integrated), to a television set. This seems simple, but appears to have a lot of challenges. This is my idea about the configuration concept: [Schermafbeelding 2023-01-03 om 17.02.18] Setup: Television as the sound source TV Audio Out connector, used for a wired connection to the AUX IN on the Arylic S10 2x active speaker made …

A lot of info about AV connections and problems.

Heyt thanks @Steve1 (Nice to see a fellow Aussie around these parts)

Its exactly what I needed to know. Im not intending on syncing more than one unit - I actually need a preamp thats controllable by Home Assistant and this seems to be one of the very few options available for us that run integrated amplifier setups.

Me personally I run a Turntable thru a RIAA preamp and a TV w optical out.

Yes this works e.g. with media player card. You need to manually add section to configuration.yaml as specified in the documentation to have the source selection list right. I added linkplay integration using HACS.
