I also started investing in Sonos recently and damn the software is terrible. While I wish I could get 100% of my money back, I'm not sure there any turnkey alternative that is better. Every time I research I come back with "Sonos sucks but it's still the best".
- applied_heat 2y agoWhat functionality did Sonos provide that you are after? I use chromecast audio to play music throughout the house and it works great
- wnolens 2y agoA project that isn't discontinued, among other things. I don't want to fiddle or think about hw/sw interface or compatibility. Just buy high quality speakers and invest by adding pieces to my system over time.
- sofixa 2y agoIt's still early days in my use, but I've been quite happy with AudioPro (yeah, shitty name). Their devices look nice, sound really good, support a variety of protocols and integrate with a ton of steaming services directly (but you don't have to because you can just Bluetooth/Cast/Airplay/AUX to them). Their app is a tad ugly but it does everything I need it to.
- Maxion 2y agoYou really wouldn't think that the tech in this segment would be so hard to get right.
- michaelt 2y agoIDK, have you ever seen Smart TVs? Seems to me electronics hardware manufacturers and subscription internet streaming media services go together like oil and water.
- jagermo 2y agoIf I started out now, I would look into Yamaha Musiccast (https://usa.yamaha.com/products/contents/audio_visual/musiccast/index.html https://usa.yamaha.com/products/contents/audio_visual/musicc...), since they have more form factors and bridges to add other music systems. Or BluOs (https://bluos.io/ https://bluos.io/), but that all looks like its aimed at the "use golden cables for better audio, bro" bros.
