Bowers & Wilkins A5 AirPlay Speaker

2014-03-24 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi! Went looking to see if any firmware updates were available for this unit and - as yet - none are. I should point out that the A5 is working flawlessly so I didn't go looking for updates because of any issues, I was just curious to see if any were available and thus would have applied them.

Sounds pretty good. Sounds like you get a lot of white noise on the AM band though in the spaces between stations. Damb that was a lot of wind like noise. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 5:53

I think it more than white noise, interference from somewhere and I'm not at all surprised given that the recording was made near a computer but still remarkable audio quality from a very small portable. On 24 Mar 2014, at 11:06 pm, Hamit Campos wrote: > Sounds pretty good. Sounds like you get

Does anyone know if KNX is HD? If he went 10 KHZ below or above KNX, which was the audio we originally heard, the noise could have been the HD noise. Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:14:33 +1100, Dane Trethowan wrote: >I think it more than white noise, interference from

Ah of course, didn't think of that but then again I'm in Australia , another sample exclusively on the AM band is being prepared I believe and I will thus share it with you when it becomes available. On 25 Mar 2014, at 8:35 am, Steve Jacobson wrote: > Does anyone know if KNX is HD? If he went

Ah okay then. Then that means it could have been PC sounds. I use to do that on my radios when I was a little lad just for the hell of it as a neighbor use to say. I would put it on one of those stations the radio couldn't get, then I'd hold a toy up to it and listen to the sounds of said toy come

For what part would you use the H1? I just did it just to mess around with the radio. Though some of these were those tape recorder boomb boxes, I did record the interference the toy prodused in the radio. It was fun. I would even create pass buy like effects by bringing the toy closer and closer t

I myself can't comment personally as I don't have one however those I know who do who have both radios say that they're delighted to use both of them, the Sangean is better at receiving long distance stations even though the quality of the audio isn't quite as good. FM for both is about the sam
