HomePod first impressions

[The Computer Audiophile]

Finally got the HomePod this morning. Full review to come.

I don't know enough about loudspeaker measurements and those with internal DSP, to know if these are good measurements.

 

@esldude any idea?

I keep thinking Apple is doing what Audi did for its diesel cars. When a test is detected, operate one way. When real use is detected, operate another. 

 

I also reached out to a speaker designer I know well. I’m interested to hear what he has to say. 

 

P.S. this this is waaaaay bass heavy.

Chris, I think if you replace the standard power cord with a Nordost Odin2 (yes it is replaceable), Nordost QRT system and an HRT isolation rack and run a dedicated 20amp line with a carbon fiber Furutech receptacle and some ASC bass traps the bass will be improved.   

Completely!
