Yeah, that sucks. I'm not too deep into audio, are t there any other options to connect the speakers? Like the new Sonos Amp?Man, I just bought them back in January 2018, it's a bit too soon for replacing them.

I have the Pro and my dad just got this one, it's a pretty nice device. I do think it should have TrueTone though.The base 2019 iPad - hot or not for watching videos and browsing the web? Or should I get the new Air? Mind you, that viewing videos, photos, Netflix and browsing the web with occasional app/game are the only things we as family use our iPad.

Is AirPlay critical? Couldn't you use a Bluetooth receiver with 3.5mm output and play from your phone? Or grab an echo dot and connect (I think that has 3.5mm output too?)
Bluetooth is actually built into the Klipsch speakers I own but in generally it sounds worse than Airplay.
Airplay 1 is still supported no?I am not sure if I should buy a second HomePod. The $199 price at Best Buy is very tempting... My main reservation is that it doesn't have an Audio input cable. I usually only play music from my phone or my computer, but what happens when Apple stops supporting Airplay2? Is my HomePod speaker just a hunk of junk at that point?
How old is your TV? My sony for instance, doesn't do "real" 4K HDR; It just got the feature as an update. The same "washed out/dim" look happens on my tv. I just switched it to 4K SDR on my Apple TV and it fixed my problem.I upgraded my ATV to the 4K version, and it looks great on my TV. Only issue though, is that whenever I play ATV+ content it massively drops the brightness of the whole output. It doesn't do this for any other content like Netflix or Prime Video. Anyone know what setting could be causing this? I'm guessing it's HDR related.

I've been using AirPlay for over a decade. I had an old Airport Express with an optical out that went to a receiver, got a Pioneer A4 AirPlay speaker, and had a separate receiver with built in AirPlay.I am not sure if I should buy a second HomePod.

It's only about 2 years old. Can't remember if HDR was patched in. It's odd though cos like I said it's only ATV+ content that it does it with. Netflix and Prime's HDR it handles without issue.How old is your TV? My sony for instance, doesn't do "real" 4K HDR; It just got the feature as an update.

50Hz HDR, 4:2:0 Chroma, not matching content (I did test this though and it made no difference).What are your video settings for output, frame rate and dynamic range on ATV?
Ah yeah, you'll want to have the regular video output of the ATV to be SDR 60Hz (50 in Europe?).It's only about 2 years old. Can't remember if HDR was patched in. It's odd though cos like I said it's only ATV+ content that it does it with. Netflix and Prime's HDR it handles without issue.

EDIT: Actually on a closer look it is doing the same for Prime's HDR. Guess it's the TV doing fake HDR. Will switch to SDR instead, still looks good!
Ah, gotcha! Yeah I was misunderstanding how the 'Match contents' settings worked. Got it perfect now! Thanks!Ah yeah, you'll want to have the regular video output of the ATV to be SDR 60Hz (50 in Europe?).
Then have the ATV match the frame rate and and dynamic range from there. If the TV doesn't handle HDR well then leave it off.
They are alright. I was shocked by the plasticy build when I got mine in 2017/2018(?) but they've held up pretty well (I wear them daily for about three hours). Paid about 200 € for them, I guess I got my moneys worth. My major gripe is that they use the battery even when connected via wire. I've heard other wireless headphones can switch to that as the electricity source.Are beats studio3 noise canceling headphones worth $200? They are $150 off at Best Buy. Normally $350.
For ANC? No.Are beats studio3 noise canceling headphones worth $200? They are $150 off at Best Buy. Normally $350.
unless you really need the always on screen (which seems to be ever so slightly detrimental to battery life - depending on usage patterns), the 4 and the 5 are pretty much identical - functionality wise.Posted this in another thread but it may be dead....anyways.. I'm in the market for a watch. If the series 4 44mm can be had for 100$ less than the series 5. Is the 5 a better buy still or should I get a 4? I've read that the battery life for the 5 even with always on, off is less than the 4.
Okay, im definitely riding that tvOS bets train again. Thank god! Sacrificing Next Up for the random trailers was such a dumb move (from a user perspective).
The trailers certainly look pretty running behind the icons, but I am definitely toggling that back to showing Up Next as soon as possible. It's just far more useful.
I will still load up Rainymood.com from time to time. All the apps I've briefly looked at look pricey or need a subscription or something.
Everything is running fine ever since updating to the supplemental updateI'm regretting the Catalina update, even iMovie wouldn't work properly until I erased and reinstalled it. And security pop-ups every time I open an app asking for folder access. All for iTunes being separated into three apps and a sidecar mode I'll never bother to use.
At least dark mode isn't complete shit anymore I guess.
Pink noise is what I've found to be most effective for me. I tend to loop pink noise + rain or waves.

cheese grater spotted out in the wild.
does a DJ like Calvin Harris really need a Cheese Grater Mac Pro for any reason at all?
The guy has money to burn and is putting on a huge show and wants the most speed possible, speed must be a lot more important to him that anything else.
but is a workstation like the New Mac Pro really going to see any real world performance gains over using a maxed out MacBook Pro 15" for a DJ Doing a show? Or in this case a DJ in a music studio?
I honestly know nothing about how DJ software works these days.
