nxr Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 From what I could tell it’s about 2k for two streams otherwise I’d need two Sonos connects, which is about 1200. while I have 8 or so zones, I really don’t need more than two streams the 800 difference isn’t very meaningful in the scheme of total project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying not to go the Autonomics route: but it won't make sense for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nxr Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 Does anyone know whether the AMB outputs Apple Music in Lossless Hi Res? Also, what is the quality level of the DACs in the streamers? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevKev Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 "Supports reference quality, high resolution with on board HRA 24-bit/192kHz DAC, perfectly rendered through analog, coaxial digital and USB outputs. You get install flexibility, your customers get incredible sound." That's the most I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oghenekaro Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Absolutely! It sounds like you're looking for a seamless music experience that integrates well with your C4 system. If you're considering moving from Apple Music to Amazon Music and looking for a smooth transition, MusConvtool might be just what you need. It simplifies playlist migration between different platforms, making it easier to transfer your playlists from Apple Music to Amazon Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just signed up for tidal, and used it to move all my apple and spotify over. the AI Playlist was also a nice touch. I signed up for a month for $5 moved everything, done.

nxr Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 For background music the AAC might be enough but not ideal and not holding my breath for more given you can even do hires in any practical way even with wired Apple devices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
