dick applebaum said: Can anyone here recommend Mac or iDevice software that can be used to listen to and analyze speakers like the homePod? How much do you want to pay, and how long do you want to spend learning how to do it? As has been …

> thank you for your considered response. You're welcome. I try. > To boil it down, I think that the tech in the homePod can bring good audiophile quality (as I understand it) to most homes without the need for expensive special rooms, spec…

Is stereo still the goal of a home theater or listening room (I did some surfing)? Sometimes. There is a distinction in the audiophile world between a two-channel room and a theater room. Since the vast majority of music material is produced and d…

(Dipping my toe into this rushing river of conversation.) Can we agree that Apple has engineers who do amazing techno-things and marketing people who have to translate that engineering wizardry into ads & marketing blurbs that sell products? Gi…

rain22 said: So let’s recap... Sounds good for an Apple Music Only - Must Have Subscription - Smart Speaker. If audio quality is your only concern, there are true audiophile speakers that blow HomePod out of the water - but for a much higher…

Just watched the opening ceremonies. Other than the commercials at specific times regardless of what was happening, it was great.We already watched some curling & skiing via the NBC Sports app.

Another way for people to spend more than they earn and get chained to debt.

Where did the company go that had the "Think Different" campaign? Apple used to focus on the amazing things people could do with Apple products to change the world. Now it's singing unicorns & poop? Self-parody?

goldenclaw said: This is a really good idea. They should set up as a loss leader, and provide some type of limited yet fully functional version on all Macs for free. This would introduce a wide range of people to the platform, and if they become…

london11 said: Happy to give Tidal another try when they introduce an equalizer on their iOS app I'm still grumpy that Apple doesn't provide a system-wide EQ on Mac or iOS. EQ shouldn't be done in each app, but for each output device. …

I love that Tidal offers lossless & MQA formats. But in reality, Spotify's & Pandora's free bit rates are good enough for the vast majority of listening I do. IMHO, to really appreciate CD quality & higher, you need decent equipment and …

This appears to be a machine destined to make no one truly happy. "Pro" covers a very diverse set of users. Some require super high-end monitors - but not a lot of CPU or RAM; others need all the RAM & CPU power they can get, but don't care abou…

Curiously, you can listen for free on their web site. https://player.siriusxm.com/#/player/live I don't know if there is a time limit, but I listened most of today with no login or any evidence that they are tracking me. The quality seems better tha…

macxpress said: Why are you paying so much for Sirius? I only paid $25 for 5 months (so $5/mo). We pay $11/month for a service we can only listen to in the car (you can pay extra for internet streaming) and whose quality is so bad, I think it…

I'm very happy services like Tidal exist. But I'm cheap and am content listening to Spotify, Pandora, BandCamp, etc. for free with the commercials. If I want the hi-res, lossless version of something, I'll just buy the album. Most of my listening is…
