Here is more info on the Eve Play. https://www.evehome.com/en/eve-play

The current power cord on two of my overpriced powered speakers is just a typical junky one that is too stiff. But is the standard figure 8 type of plug in the back of the speaker. Is there a better braided, more flexible, with the figure 8 plug out there? Monoprice and Amazon do not sell these...

I spoke to a senior Yamaha USA tech today and he said all the products that had stalled out due to supply chain issues are again being made and stock is good in the USA. MusicCast stuff comes to mind.

I'm helping an old neighbor set up a Yamaha ATS-1080 for his TV. I followed the firmware update exactly as instructed by the install instruction page using a USB drive, etc. but, I cannot see in the HT Controller app if it was updated or not (I think not). How can you tell if it took? Any tips...

I surender. Apple Music for organizing a CD/FLAC/ALAC/AAC/MP3 collection is a disaster. Every time I get it all perfect, Apple does something to mess it up. What are dead simple alternatives for non engineers who are visual in nature? Mac M1, external SSD.

What do we make of this? https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/apple-homepod-24-bit-lossless-audio-airplay-2/ I experimented and found that if you start Apple Music on HomePods (voice or via Home app) and added something like an AVR to the speakers, then unchecked the HomePods, the AVR...

I picked up an Apple TV 4K (2nd generation), 2021, 64 GB, Model number: A2169 for $114. Mainly so I can play true Apple Music Atmos music. What is an affordably priced, compatible, HDMI cable for this ATV model to a Yamaha TSR-700? The compatible, affordably priced, Monoprices I have are turning...

Other than an Apple TV, how do you play Apple Music Atmos/Spatial Audio music to an AVR*, which has HDMI ports? There must be some kind of second option. *Yamaha TSR-700 7.2 Channel AV Receiver with Dolby Atmos DTS - the USB port on it is still, sadly, only for thumb drives!

Like many, I started out with Alexa compatible devices, like smart plugs, a few years ago. I tried to get devices that were Alexa and Apple Home compatible. Ultimately thinking: I would go all Apple anyway, as they got their shite together in the end. This worked well. Until I began the change...

I am moving from a Yamaha HTR-4065 to the TSR-700. I would appreciate any advice on best way to do this. Should I write down all my old settings? Do I need to do anything else or be aware of any Yamaha-mish changes or terminology changes? (The 4065 will go to a bedroom setup. The 4065 uses the...

This is simply a post here to an article about an interesting take on IC technology. What is interesting is how it might impact AV indirectly. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/10/opinion/apple-microprocessor.html

I have a PCM receiver that only has Toslink out. I would like to send that to a USB-C in on a DAC (and then from the DAC to analog). The DAC is just USB-C in (female). Is there a Toslink to USB-C dongle or box out there? One that is not a DAC. The Toslink is going into a DAC (that only has...

The Mac M1 has a 3.5 Aux out. So, it has a DAC. Does anyone know what it is? It does not sound as robust as any decent external you would use but, I am just curious if anyone knows, for sure. Although, I have only run a super long 12 foot? cable from it to the amp. Maybe my DAC has better power...

Is there a way to test various services now that Amazon, Deezer, Quobuz, and soon Apple and eventually Spotify, will be streaming lossless audio? When I A/B compared Amazon HD to Deezer, I could detect no difference at all. I suspect Apple and Qobuz will be same if an A/D/A/Q comparison were...

Belkin Airplay 2 device https://www.belkin.com/us/adapters/audio-video/soundform-connect-audio-adapter-with-airplay-2/p/p-auz002/ I wonder what DAC it will have for 3.5 analog?

So, I picked up the Hidizs S9 after the review here and, because I am a big AKM DAC fan (let's hope they get the fire gutted factory rebuilt in a timely manner…) and I like a excellent performing bargain. The LED is too bright though… Anyhow, I was going to use it in my car but decided instead...
