Question 1

If I ise this to stream audio from a TV, will the lips be in sync?

Accepted Answer

The Home RTX uses the SBC codec for audio streaming, which can introduce an end to end delay of up 250-270 milliseconds (roughly 1/4 second). In some cases customers have claimed they don't have any delay issues at all with the Home RTX and a receiving unit (Bluetooth headphones or speaker), but others do experience some delay. However, if your use case is primarily television audio, then your best option would be to use the Miccus Home RTX 2.0. The Home RTX 2.0 features support for the aptX Low Latency codec, which, when paired with a set of Bluetooth headphones or a Bluetooth speaker system that also features support for the aptX Low Latency codec, produces no noticeable delay issues. The aptX Low Latency codec, with an end to end delay / latency of 38-40 milliseconds, and the Miccus Home RTX 2.0 are the best option for television audio.

Question 2

Can i use the rtx to transmit to an amazon echo tap as a bluetooth speaker?

Accepted Answer

On the contrary. I've been working with Miccus tech support for three days in this problem. The RTX is pairing with the Tap, but the Tap has been restricted to only play from "mobile devices". Heaven forbid someone might want to stream their Sonos music to the Tap and carry it out into the garden!

Question 3

My old tuner connects with split cables under posts on tuner and spring slots on speakers.  Can RTX connect and work with these?   Use how many if so?

Accepted Answer

The RTX has two sets of RCA jacks on the back (stereo in and stereo out).  I bought a stereo RCA cable (Radio Shack, $4.95), cut off the plugs from one end, stripped wire and fed into spring slots on amp.  I did this for both the input and output lines and it works fine.  Hope this helps.

Question 4

Should i connect to TV or audio receiver for better sound and less delay as i'll be listening via bluetooth headphones

Accepted Answer

Either will work but the issue is more sound distortion (fuzziness).  If you have your TV connected to your receiver, the question is whether your TV is feeding the receiver from a non-volume control output of the TV.  If both your TV and Receiver control the volume, then you can get distortion.  It is no fault of the RTX which just transmits what it gets.  The problem is an amplified signal feeding another amplified signal, which always creates distortion and you have to carefully balance the two volumes for clear signal.  After you balance a clear signal, then you can use your headphone volume to control your listening volume.  If your TV feeds a non-volume controlled input to your receiver, then you will not have the distortion risk.  Multiple volume controls in a daisy chain of devices always messes with the sound quality.  The RTX only repeats what it gets.
