Hi Jim I just saw your enquiry. I don't have the Sonos Conect:Amp, but I do have the Sonos Connect. So I don't know how good the Connect Amp is at powering Speakers and How they would sound. I got the Connect which feeds my Arcam AVR750 receiver with a digital signal which in turn powers a 5.1 s

Wonderful stuff, I'm considering the purchase of one of these even though I won't be able to play my HD music collection with it, its still a convenient way to play Music Subscription services, right there all in one place. I have to admit to being a little hesitant to purchase right away as

Hi Dane Regarding your comments on the Sonos Speakers and their limitations. I wouldn't argue. Just a point of clarification: they don't do Bluetooth - none of the range do. I like my Sonos Play 1's which I use in the bedroom, but they would be so much better with Bluetooth. They do play the mus

Thank you for that. Perhaps - now we have Bluetooth AptX - later models of Sonos may incorporate Bluetooth streaming but then again, AptX isn't compatible with IOS so perhaps Sonos will prefer to not to mention Bluetooth and hope people don't mention it iether . Bluetooth AptX is yet another

IOS 10 And AirPlay

2016-10-02 Thread Dane Trethowan

You can still get to the audio airplay in control center, although you might not know it because it's in adequately labeled. If you go to "page 2, in your control center view, by doing the iOS page change three finger flick, one of the things you will see in there with other music controls is th

On your last point about the AirPlay button being available in other Apps I agree with you and hope they bring it back and thanks for the tip about AirPlay in the Control Center, I'll give that a try in a few minutes and that will solve my problems in that area. Listening to Spotify Radio righ

Bowers And Wilkins Speakers

Hi John! You mention you have some Bowers And Wilkins speakers as part of your system so which models do you have? I’m looking at their range of floor standing models for the lounge, a bit of saving to do to own a pair of those but - if the B&W A5, A7 and Z2 active speaker systems which I’ve own

Okay thanks for that, I found the iPhone icon in the Control center, it was where you said on page two, would never have known about it had you not mentioned it. ** Those with negative attitudes are a problem, those with positive outlooks are the solution. > On 3 Oct. 2016, at 7:06

Surely Apple wouldn't invent a whole system of Airplaying audio using a method different from anyone else to thousands of appliances designed just for it and depended upon by millions of people just to get rid of it? No, that doesn't sound like Apple! (Grin) John -Original Message- From:
