I hope I'm not getting too forgetful, but don't both the XP Deus 2 ... use proprietary wireless (still)?  

Yes XP uses a proprietary wireless since the Deus1 which was released in 2010 . I dont know the XP wireless latency but it is  very low as it is not hearable  , either for the D1 or for the D2 ...  It is very reliable , I have never had a pb with the XP wireless after hundreds of hours with the D1 , and now with the D2 ... 

From my standpoint it is not important wether its proprietary or not , I just need something that works , and it is the case for the XP wireless ...

I hope when the Manticore gets released that ML will state the latency.  If they don't I'm sure some detectorist with an oscilloscope will.  (hint, hint to some members here )

Legend only uses BT APTX-LL for wireless.  Nokta abandoned their proprietary wireless used on Simplex and prior detectors (including their wireless pinpointer) during the transition to Legend which was disappointing because I had invested in their wireless pinpointer after my Simplex purchase hoping to be able to link it to Legend.  I believe they are working on another variant using BT to be compatible with Legend.  Oh great, another $100+ accessory to buy when they could have just put a second radio in Legend (a la Equinox) to retain forward compatibility of their proprietary wireless accessories. SMH.

XP does not publish the latency spec for their Deus/Orx/Deus 2 multipurpose wireless platform (digital audio AND data information is transmitted across the system).

But there is an 3.5mm audio adapter available for the ws6/wsa2, so you can use them as kind of a wm module.. that‘s at least what I would use, if I owned a deus.
