I’m happy to let Amazon labor under the illusion that I want to use their crummy Alexa platform for anything other than music and timers, if it means they’ll sell me a voice-controlled speaker for $40 that I can connect to an existing pair of high-quality speakers. (On the Google side you’d need a Chromecast audio—-not happening.)
Since I can check my history of Alexa commands, I can see that I haven’t said anything that Homepod couldn’t do in like, months. But, $40.
- criddell 9y agoDo you think the DAC in the Echo is good enough for high-quality speakers? I have to admit, I'm a sucker for things like Apple's claim that their device measures the room acoustics and adjusts itself for better sound. I don't know if it's true, but I kind of want one in my office now.
