I don't come to the forum as much as I used to (not enough time anymore) and just saw your reply .. I too constantly go through a guilt phase where I KNOW that my Alexa speakers are always spying on me. And my "smart" speakers still keep getting dumber and less useful every week. I (probably more than) occasionally go through the "rip all of these worthless "smart" speakers out of my house" phase. I guess my only caveat was that "hey, my Android phone(s) always has a Google speaker (microphone) on .. so, I'm already being spied on." But yeah .. my trust issues (I really have no trust) with these behemoth tech companies is getting close to nil. The "rip out" phase may come sooner than later. And yes .. the audio quality (there is none) is much, much less than the convenience factor really affords. I prefer to listen through my towers when I can. Squeezebox platform is still my every day driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NFLnut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13180 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111449 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
