i´m pretty sure you can eliminate the delay in "optical direct mode". Its not possible to use it with a bridge.
I don´t thing a "special firmware" is out there and can solve this problem. the latency is caused by buffering for gstreamer. not for dsp itself.

I think what's suggested is just a single phantom with optic cable from computer to speaker. Dunno what kinda of latency we're talking then as I haven't tried it, but kinda defeats the purpose since it's not stereo. As soon as you have dialog involved, there's latency.

The device itself has latency introduced by DSP, regardless of if the Dialog is used. This has been discussed many times.
Devialet themselves created a low latency firmware that can only be installed by Devialet, that was used in some DJing scenarios.
A direct optical connection may reduce, but will not eliminate the latency.

Is this guessing or knowledge? Devialet itself denied the exist of such a firmware.
If you know how gstreamer works, i can´t imagine that there is a solution without a direct connection.
maybe i am wrong..
Need to check it by myself if you havent before

There is a low latency firmware that can be used with Dante. How it performs without Dante I haven't heard anything about.
Edit: And that firmware isn't given out freely from what I understand.

There is a "dante to optical converter" available wich uses the mentioned "optical direct mode". Dante can´t be used by plc or wifi. Devialet support denies an exist of a special firmware. Is there anyone out there whos got that firmware or are these just rumors? would love to know..

Nice. I never read that. I don't think that's the source I'm thinking of.
