Optimal settings for streaming Vinyl
Answered
I have my 2i connected to my pre (analog input) and found the setting to help with the vinyl stream quality (turn off real-time).
There still seems to be a delay somewhat between speakers (I have 4 pulse flex throughout the home).
Are there any other settings to optimize playback (some sort of increased buffering)?
I am doing this wirelessly which I know isn't the best, and it all sounds great, just want to see if there are additional tweaks.
As an aside the MC output is pretty low gain...I have the pulse flex units cranked all the way up and they aren't super loud.

Hi Big Cat
You want that momentarily delay when grouping for performance... here's why and how to tweak; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360021056034
As for volume limitations, what you are hearing is normal. If you are running a phone pre-amp hooked up correctly you should be able to hear vinyl but at much quiter volumes due to how vinyl is recorded. For example, I have a vintage c.1993 turntable connected to an NAD PP 2i into the The Bluesound POWERNODE 2 in my home (I hear NAD Electronics makes great stuff). Listening to TIDAL, my volume slider is at about 1/3 volume. If I am listening to Vinyl the same recording will be at about 60%. If your Phone Preamp has gain settings, you can try tweaking those.
Unfortunately that's just the way RIAA works. Wikipedia actually does a great job of explaining why in great detail; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization
