It also makes sure the devices are at the same potential and improves noise rejection. If STP is bad, why is it available? Make it possible to lift the shield, like LoZ balanced cabling- just do it safely.

A big reason " Apple's blood oxygen sensor does not have FDA clearance, but Masimo's W1 watch does. " Heck with the audio stuff. Just my opinion. Reactions: Danzilla31

T Trebdp83 Audioholic Spartan Oct 27, 2009 5,805 0 36 Jul 24, 2024 #27 Lots of folks wondering about a potential buyer and what might be left to actually buy. I might spend some real money on a Marantz AVP in gold that had a big SSD and TV OS built-in if apple offered actual downloading of 4K movies with lossless audio along with their current lossy streams to compete with Kaleidescape. I don't want to see Denon/Marantz f#%ked over. I give em' s#%t cuz' I care. Their best units offer the best features for the money. Sorry Onkyo. Nice new flagship, but features not quite there yet even if the amps are there. Denon/Marantz could show Apple how to process and output signals properly and Apple could help Denon/Marantz units run cooler. Who Should Masimo Sell the Sound United Brands To Medical Services company, Masimo, has a fire sale going for their $1,000,000,000 in AV brands. Who will be the buyer? We've got thoughts... futureaudiophile.com Reactions: Danzilla31, Michi70, lovinthehd and 2 others

That is the understatement of the year. Everything that Apple touches, for the consumer, turns to mush, with their love of propriety software and whatnot. Hopefully Sound United spurns their offer.

G George MacDonald Enthusiast Dec 6, 2022 17 0 1 76 Sep 1, 2024 #30 In an audio sense Apple is half pregnant. It produces high quality "spatial/atmos" quality sound but, it has no way to get that sound to the listener -- unless they invest in a third party AV receiver and speakers connected to an Apple device. Yes, perhaps they are understandably hesitant to get wrapped up in a tangle of cables -- that just isn't their style. But, they are already half way there: HomePods can product great stereo sound. But, the best they can do for their own spatial/atmos level music/home theater is stereo with a virtualized spatial/atmos. But, that doesn't come even close to a full 5 channel system (or better). Apple is SO close!
