Picked up an Echo Show 8 on sale to use my other Echos around the house. The stereo speakers are not bad for casual listening. I tried the 1/8" stereo out to my stereo system and I like how the display shows what's playing when I stream from Amazon or Apple music. I wonder if it's streaming high-res or lossless 16 bit and then converting to analog? I wonder what DAC is used and how good the analog out section is. Probably not audiophile, but good for party music or entertaining guests. I have a Volumio Pi and Apple Airport for serious listening.
