As far as Apple TV vs. SB goes, here are some personal specifics, divided into stuff one is good at and the other one not, and vice versa.
Pro AE: - Fits perfectly into an Apple ecosystem including their cloud-services. - Streaming all kinds of sounds, videos and pictures from all kinds of Apple devices, is a breeze. This is important since most video- and music-services have apps or clients for said devices. This in addition to all other more random youtube, etc. content, one can pull of the big net. - Best-effort-kind-of-good SQ by using digital outputs into DACs etc (though opinions vary as to whether its bit perfect). This means that I think the quality is pretty good - wether or not its actually The Best Possible, is not that important - nor is it optimised with this in mind. - The way I use and think of it is, as "as a means of getting a better viewing/listening experience than on the smaller device". Pro SB: - Bitperfect - High-res - WAN-streaming (without cloud-subscritions) - I can 100% manage my own library the old fashion way - no cloud stuff etc. - When up and running - its independent of computers/iDevices/etc. Its just good old high-fi with a thingy that happens to source over the network. So I use both as I believe they (in the present state) serve the same, but different purposes :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96726 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
