@snazzyq do you see Apple making a soundbar to compete with the arc? I would love to have homepod minis as my satellite rear speakers.
Show threadQuinn NelsonFeb 13, 2023
@dor I don't knowā€”seems unlike Apple to do such a thing; however, they've spent SO MUCH time and energy building out impressive Apple TV support (from ARC to channel virtualization, etc) that I can't believe it's *just* for low-volume HomePods. I really like the prediction of a sound bar with a built in Apple TV and multi-HDMI input for other devices so as not to rely purely on HDMI-CEC.

@snazzyq excellent take.

@snazzyq This was really excellent.

@snazzyq Great video! Would love to see a video on a DIY Sonos alternative with some of the additional speakers & DACs mentioned. Biggest challenge Iā€™ve found is audio sync when playing across multiple speakers. belenaSound and WiiM look like some interesting options.

@snazzyq absolutely great and snazzy review Quinn! You brought so much of you, and addressed so many questions others hadnā€™t considered in theirs.

@snazzyq This review got me thinking... What would get you a better experience?:
One HomePod or two HomePod minis in stereo pair?

@snazzyq unbelievable that I went into this without headphones knowing full well what was going to happen - my two OG HomePods hearing your "HS" trigger phrase and responding in a cacophony of consistently inconsistent responses.

(Great review)

@sdw We were planning to mute those, but then forgot. Lol sorry!

@snazzyq @sdw Happened to me too, but that's ok. Made me laugh.

I agree- great review - thoroughly enjoyed your perspective and insight, Quinn.

@ossa @snazzyq @sdw My HomePods weā€™re very excited to join in too - fun being part of the Siri speed test . šŸ˜„

@snazzyq Ever consider stereo Sonos Five's? I have a single Five but everyone rave's about the stereo pair.
