    Apple Music Lossless Sounds "Fuzzy" To Me

    Headphone jack is my prime suspect. It could actually not even be the cable, but the headphone socket in your source device as well. But I would put my money there.

    Battery Load Shedding Bulb

    Not a good experience with the bulbs. The best for me has been the magneto rechargeable lantern which I got from Builders (similar to the linked). I now have three of these and to get three more. They stay plugged and auto switch on when power goes. They claim to last 60 hours and they have...

    Disney+

    LOTR release date is September, and it will most likely be one episode per week. @Nikkel - I didn't realise Amazon only has HDR on their own content and not all others. It also appears that every content labeled "HDR" but not "UHD" is not actually HDR. Or is it because I am using chromecast...

    Amazon Prime Music 4 month free trial!

    Seems to be working - anybody know what is happening? Is this an error? Android app is still geoblocked - Yamaha MusicCast app (I assume BluOS as well) works fine.

    AVR in Stereo Only - which is best

    I happen to have a Yamaha RX-V3067 and a Yamaha RX-A3080. I listened to them, same song, same streaming service, same speakers, cables everything. I could not tell the difference. So, for music - I am happy to advise anyone to go for the old good quality anytime.

    Chromecast Netflix Surround sound issue

    It's is a unique problem. I am using the same chromecast. The app on mine is version 8.3.4 build 4625 updated March 31, 2022. Check and see if yours is the same. Another little test you can do is check under display settings if dropping resolution (you get a range from 4K 60Hz all the way...

    5.1 Surround on Youtube

    I read about this - Today, a video triggered the surround on my AVR.  Looks like you can now post surround sound, although there doesn't seem to be any way to identify what and what isn't.  This particular example is, indeed 5.1.  At least it is for me using Chromecast With Google TV...

    Shipping from AliExpress to SA

    I always check delivery costs - some are unusually high.  There was one instance where I was buying a laptop keyboard and not many options where I paid more for shipping than for the item.  But also check Amazon - same story.  You will find people charging R8k for shipping and taxes for an item...

    Which Andriod Auto Headunit

    Pioneer would have been my choice too.  I also have a Pioneer head unit -well worth it - wireless AA is tops, but I now need to fit a wireless charging pad on the door.  No idea what to get.

    Chromecast Netflix Surround sound issue

    Assuming you are referring to Chromecast 3rd gen (not Chromecast with Google TV or Chromecast Ultra).  Some people found that the issue was the cable - I assume they needed to extend in cases where the chromecast is far from the receiver.  Others found that they needed to plug the chromecast...

    Streaming services - It is getting crowded out there?

    What I meant is that if you connect your phone (or laptop) to the DAC via USB, you will get max 96KHz/24bit from the decoding within the app.

    Yamaha amp repair, Pretoria

    Yup, I also have an Onkyo  with them for a month now.  Will be following up on progress.

    Streaming services - It is getting crowded out there?

    The unfolding software is built within the Tidal app on the phone and on the laptop.  This means it must be connected via USB.  Tidal Connect bypasses the phone software.

    Disney+

    Is this an Apple issue?  I have Chromecast - Youtube works just fine, but I sometimes turn HDR off for some titles because I am using a projector and dark scenes can be hard to see.

    The future of hifi in SA; is the industry running on empty or ?

    Interesting Right now - you will pay less if you buy a Oneplus 10 Pro (256Gb/8Gb) from Aliexpress than you would if you bought a Oneplus 9 Pro (256Gb/8Gb) from local sellers.
