  • Review: Naim Mu-So 2 is the epitome of a connected Hi-Fi speaker

    midwestapplefanmidwestapplefan
    Interestingly, one of the most significant features of Mu So 2 is left out. The Mu So is Roon Ready. 

    Roon Is a way to incorporate all your physical music on hi-res formats but it also integrates with TIDAL and Qobuz, album reviews, concert dates and more. Hailed by the audio press as a product of the decade and it works on the Mu So. Airplay is fine but it has nothing on Roon. Oh well. Minor miss I guess

  • Rumor suggests iOS 14 will run on all iOS 13 capable devices

    Hopefully this upgrade works better than the last one.  My iPhone 7 started having several problems such as faster battery drain, issues with bluetooth, painfully slow web browsing, and the worst is freezing up and not being able to do a force quit so I have had to wait for the battery to drain down to get the phone to restart.  That last one has happened twice which never happened until the latest update.  iOS 13 was a major fail in my book.

  • Study: Apple Pay at 9% adoption in US, lags far behind PayPal and traditional payment meth...

    "There is little incentive for consumers to ditch credit cards, the top form of payment in America, for a mobile payment alternative, du Toit notes. In some cases, swiping or inserting a credit card into a point of sale terminal is easier than pulling out an iPhone, unlocking it and tapping it on an NFC reader."

    WTF, does this guy have any clue on how Apple Pay works?  Apple pay is linked to a credit card.  You are not ditching anything.  Pulling a wallet then the card out of your pocket then sliding it into the reader is not easier than pulling out a phone and tapping it on the reader.  That's another joke.  And you don't have to unlock the phone, just double tap on a button. 

    So after reading that, why should I believe any of the stats that his company Bain offered up?  Does not even pass the sniff test.  Apple Pay has been out several years and it being accepted in more and more places.  Only 9%.  Who gave them those figures?  Why does Bain allow people like du Toit make ridiculous public statements like this in their name?

  • Bose Portable Home Speaker is the company's first rechargeable model

    I wonder if it will be Roon Ready or at least Roon tested to work.  Then maybe it is worth $349.  Otherwise what a freakin' joke.

  • Apple Card is now accepting applications in the United States

    I got my card in the mail yesterday. It truly is gorgeous!   Easy to activate.  I just wonder how long it will take to scratch up that white surface which will make it look like a piece of junk.
