[–] mouse_ 10mo ago ↗ Yeah but your smartphone can't play it without resampling it, and last I checked, your Bluetooth headpods can't play it without reencoding it.Lossless streaming is a marketing ploy that wastes resources for no reason. High bitrate opus is better for streaming.
[–] basisword 10mo ago ↗ Four years after it was announced, not as high quality as the competitors, no sign of Atmos. You can see why they couldn't justify charging more for it.
[–] dtagames 10mo ago ↗ The article says next month it will come to Sonos. That's ideal because those speakers are not Bluetooth; they're on your Wi-Fi.
