The Sonos patent wars sucked. Things are somewhat back to ok, but man, it's just absurd & sad seeing basic networked av get ravaged by lawyers like so. I'm super glum about audio casting at the moment. It feels like less and less speakers have audio casting builtin. For a while there was a spare of speakers, some even battery powered, but it's turned into a trickle. There's also incredibly few options for amplifiers with builtin audio casting; what the NexusQ originally did! So frustrating. This is an ecosystem I am super bought into, and it feels like it's fading and there's not a replacement (especially with Sonos's recent enshittification seppuku).
