Reactor vs. Akoya

[alandbush]

Latency for TV is 200 ms for Akoya vs the Reactor's 60 ms. 

From the User guide

OPTIMIZATION OF AV SYNCHRONIZATION
In order to provide a stable stereo reproduction with a WLAN connection, the standard delay in the firmware of THE PEARL / THE PEAL AKOYA can be up to 1000 milliseconds. This delay can be divided by 5 or more for AV purpose by selecting the TV mode instead of the Hi-Fi mode.

I think I understand how you determined the 200ms latency.

But, it states upto 1000ms delay which might suggest it could be lowered.
Also, it states AV delay can be divided by 5 or more which again suggests it could be lower.

I have Golds (thankfully still at DOS1 in Direct Optical mode), but looking at the Akoya specs, I would suggest choosing them.
They appear to be a complete solution with more inputs, EQ, streaming services, internet radio and even local audio from a USB thumb drive/hard drive!
I have no idea how capable the software is but it can’t be as bad as that offered for the Reactor, surely. ?

Edit: it also comes with its own carrying case and a programmable bluetooth controller!!!
