Maybe I listen to CDs/Vinyl, play Xbox, or would like to connect a non-macos computer to the TV. AppleTV is Apple's answer and I bought heavily into the Apple ecosystem. However, I still use other audiosources daily.

I live in a 900sqft apartment. I could not see having a $350 that doesn't integrate with a a TV because my space is only really big enough for one audio source. Am I alone in this? How much space does a home need before it has multip

I'm a regular audible user with 72 audio books. Yes audiobooks are expensive, but I find them to be the most intellectually stimulating audio source. I have gathered these books over the last 30 months, with more heavy usage in the l
