Giving #qobuz a trial after #applemusic and #spotify. The quality is much, much better, but I'm missing somehow the quick and easy thematic selection (chill, party, relax etc.). There are curated playlists but a little hidden. Besides that I welcome that it connects way faster than #spotifyconnect to my #heos #homecinema soundbar. Any ideas how to get a better family/duo trial?

I still have an old AirPort Express, but is there a good replacement to stream audio?

I briefly looked and maybe a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with Owntone? For me, it is very important that the power consumption while idle is very low and I want to spend less then 50€ on it.

#WiiM hat sich auf #Audio-Geräte und -#Zubehör spezialisiert und in der Vergangenheit bereits den #WiiMMini, einem Audio-Streamer inklusive #AirPlay2, #DLNA, #SpotifyConnect und mehr, veröffentlicht. Nun hat man zwei neue Produkte angekündigt, die noch in diesem Jahr auf den Markt kommen sollen: Den #WiiMAmpPro, ein Upgrade des bestehenden #WiiMAmp, und ein brandneues Produkt, den #WiiMUltra.

Spent some time investigating if moving to #AppleMusic to get lossless support it worth it (provided my old ears could hear the difference). Turns out there’s absolutely no *practical* way of getting unaltered lossless sound out of my fancy BluOS HiFi system. If anything it makes me appreciate how well done #SpotifyConnect is, at least from a usability point of view. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/bits-and-bytes/apple-music-lossless-mess-part-2-airplay-r1026/

@JMadFour@blacktwitter.io Apple Music has a better UI, is just music, has better music quality, and has better playlist and library management. Spotify is good for social aspect and Spotify connect. I had #AppleMusic now after using Spotify for years. Only think I miss is #SpotifyConnect and better music discovery.
