    Apple HomePod Mini

    To be honest I don’t agree with you. For the money and the size of the speakers they sound very good. U tried on lossless quality in the home settings for music and a stereo pair? Besides this they have great mics and ofcourse all the Siri functions and home hub. Concerning the WiFi, it does...

    Qobuz

    I’m so confused. I always agree and love the what hifi reviews. Many years ago (for me) AKG headphones, Apple products, KEFls50w2 etc etc. But Tidal? MQA compared to Flac from Qobuz or Apple Music lossless? Don’t we all think Qobuz and Apple Music sounds better? What makes theTidal sound...

    Grado sr80x (or 325x) vs AirPods max

    Ye I realized this and became a bit more familiar but using Sonos with a sub often makes the headphones so “light”. Of course it’s a stupid comparison but that’s my experience.

    Advice Sonos vs hifi

    I know sound is objective, but there is some factual part of quality right ? And maybe some agree on my Sonos theory so that’s also interesting to hear. I mean comparing €2,5k Sonos vs €2,5k on amp with speakers. Maybe 2.0 or 2.1. i have no experience on “tuning” a system myself, like the...

    Advice Sonos vs hifi

    That’s what I’m asking for, other people views. If that wouldn’t be useful u wouldn’t have to read reviews either.

    Advice Sonos vs hifi

    Ah I explain this in one of my posts here. For the room shape it’s better to use the ones “in the length” of the room (dunno if that’s English) instead of opposite of the tv. Also I don’t like the arcs music sound quality compared to the ones and they simply cross fire in the 5.1 setup. Also I...

    Advice Sonos vs hifi

    So after using the Sonos 2.1 setup for a while I switched back to 5.1 because of the movie sub switching hassle. But I’m still curious how much better a hifi system would sound compared to: 2.1 or 5.1 with the sub (.1) Loudness off True play tuning for the room on Eq neutral Qobuz lossless...

    Advice Sonos vs hifi

    I’ve changed my Sonos setup, using the ones and sub as 2.1 in my room and the arc solo. For music it’s actually nicer, for movies ofcours less so, but I can switch if needed. (I can’t add a jpeg photo from my iPhone 😓)

    @tiffany31 what do you mean by that ?

    Grado sr80x (or 325x) vs AirPods max

    Btw, what also bothered me in this setup was that in order to switch to proper hi res I had to change the settings in MacOs with the midi controller with every song according to the bitrate and sample freq. So that was very inconvenient. Knowing it’s automatically switched with iOS I don’t have...

    Grado sr80x (or 325x) vs AirPods max

    Update, Since I couldn’t tell the difference between 3,5mm MacBook vs the external dac ifi zen dac V2 using the grado sr80x nor the difference between hi res lossless and lossless audio and the Sonos setup I have sounds better (probably not objectively but personally) (using trueplay...
