Hi @jwoillez

thanks for testing. 50ms latency is very much for making music together. Ok - it depends on the music style. But rhythmic music would be very difficult to play in time togehther. What I have heared is, that about 20ms is ok.

But I am not complaining too much. If I had to play with my band mates, all confined within a 5 km radius from me, it would take sound in air 30 seconds to travel back and forth between us (if we play loud enough).

Take a look at this thread:

I disregarded Zita for a reason that currently eludes me. It might have been something to doe with the amount of configuration, e.g. needing to configure all nodes. I was looking for something that would allow connection to available nodes. Something similar to Dante. Regarding Internet connectivity, I worry that the current Internet infrastructure is i…

Yesterday we had tested a point-to-point audio connection: 15.5ms.
