PeterG Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Snap! On reading the headline, with its implication that the HomePod deserved an Audiophile's review, I was a bit concerned that you had lost your mind. I'm glad you're OK (and I love the for sale post--haha) The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

Remember the iPod Hifi? Steve Jobs himself introduced that over a decade ago to do better than the boomboxes of the day or more expensive Bose systems. And there have been other examples over the years. Again, they aren't looking to be an audiophile product, but a product with higher quality than the competition. Did they succeed here from a sound standpoint? The jury is out but most reviewers say yes. Please--Apple has more than anybody(?) to shift the listening market to low quality sound, degrading the experience for us all. An iTunes store that pushes singles instead of albums (thus encouraging producers to increase loudness and reduce dynamic range), delivered as low res files (or even lower if you're running low on storage!), onto garbage earbuds that further discourage investments in sound quality and encourage low dynamic range. Love their computers, phones, and tablets; hate what they've done with music The Computer Audiophile and Allan F 1 1 Link to comment
