Those send the actual file data to the speakers, so you're not "playing the audio" so much as each speaker literally playing its own copy of the file, using synced playback timing.
- solardev 4y agoIs that the case even when you're streaming from Spotify or Airplay, or say using their wireless 5.1 setup from the soundbar? And I mean, in the age of wireless speakers... aren't all digital speakers receiving "file data", whether it's one file at a time or one chunk at a time? What's the difference? Even if it's just timing data, I don't think I would be able to figure out how to sync up two different devices' times down to that level of precision. A little bit off and you'd build up weird interferences, wouldn't you?
- bombcar 4y agoThere are speakers/etc that use actual streaming protocols - but that's become relatively rare.
