Do you know if it's possible to run the optical audio from the TV to the Playbase and the ethernet cable from the router to one of the Play 1s (being used as rear speakers) simultaneously? Is the system flexible enough to automatically change which speaker is meant to act as the commander unit...

I was under the impression that once it is set up (which I could do for him), the speakers can be run via his laptop as well. From my understanding the app is used to control where the audio is coming from, but how he plays the audio on his computer is up to him. He's able to use Windows with a...

Anyone have experience with Sonos stuff?

Hi, My dad has requested I look into a sound system for his new apartment. To start out with he would like to start with a simple two speaker setup with a subwoofer (if necessary) that has the option to add additional speakers later on. The speakers shouldn't be taller than 50cm and shouldn't...

Alright, will do!

Shockingly bad?

Is there a difference in sound quality between Spotify Premium at 320kbps for €10 and Quboz premium at 320 kbps (lowest option) for €10?

Alright, I did some testing using my desktop rig with a selection of flac files and 320 kbps mp3s I converted from them using dbpoweramp using fubar's ABX option... The soundcard is Realtek, part of the motherboard. I don't think there should be a big distinction between it and what the LG V20...

I'm not planning on using their services (especially since I'm outside of the USA), I just remember that their algorithm for suggesting music was excellent (for the times: 2009-2011). I'm looking for a service that provides high quality music and a way of searching, suggesting, organizing and...

Thanks for the quick response, voxie. Qobuz has a €10 version as well. How does saving the files for offline use work and what is the difference between saving the files and downloading/buying them? Does Qobuz have an algorithm for suggesting music? I found this feature to be amazing when I...

Hi, I've been playing music off of my desktop via CDs up until now and while I did use some streaming services around 8-10 years ago when they were free (deezer, last.fm and pandora), I haven't used any recently. Back then I also didn't know/care about quality. I'm getting my first 'decent'...

They will be replacing my nearly 3-year-old trusty Sennheiser HD 280 Pros.   I was very close to buying a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 about a year ago after having perused a while when my jack began to wobble.   However, with some more time for development and a little larger of a...

Hey, thanks for the quick response! I've looked at some reviews and really like what I'm hearing about the Audio Technica ATH-M50. Thanks for the videos, they're helpful too. I do have a few questions though:   Are the ATH-M50 much more heavy than the 280s? I haven't been able to find a...

Hi,   I bought my Sennheiser HD 280 pro roughly two years ago when I moved into an apartment. I got them during a labor day sale and haven't looked back. I've come to appreciate higher quality music, speakers and headphones as a result and have been using them 2-8 hours daily. However, the...
