"The 1TB and larger models have 16GB of RAM, but for most apps, Apple limits their use to 5Gb max." This is no longer true.` https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_kernel_increased-memory-limit?changes=latest_beta#details I have the 16GB model.

99% of Apple Music customers don't care about any of this which Apple knows and they just started rolling out lossless. People are expecting too much too soon. Plus I'm loving spatial audio and lossless for $10 a month. Actually I pay by year so $99 a year for all of this.

Bluesound has made zero effort to integrate Apple Music when Sonos did it a long time ago. I don't see how they are to be thanked for anything. "A Bluesound Node 2i that supports AirPlay 2 and uses the newest version of Apple's AirPlay 2 chip" There is no such thing as an "Airplay 2 chip". Airplay 2 is entirely software. https://developer.apple.com/airplay/

Apple Music integrates with more than just Sonos. They integrate with Alexa/Echo and Google Home but there are others that a simple Google search would show. Also there are a lot of complaints about BlueOS devices and Roon integration on the Roon community Bluesound forum.

You use Roon extensively and think it's just album sorting software? Seriously? I have no idea how someone who is an audiophile thinks $119 a year for what you get with Roon is too much money. It's a bargain.

$119?? That's a bargain for what it does.

You have to wonder why they bothered if they are going to do such a poor implementation. For marketing bullet points?

You spent all that money on hardware and don't care about the quality of the source?

I think there are others like this.

I've used this for other transfers and it apparently does Tidal to Qobuz. https://soundiiz.com

Rather than ANY? So he is infallible?

Man do I agree with that. people send his articles around like they were gospel. I find alot of them be half naked at best and he seems to have an opinion first then try to prove it later.

Theres a lot of impressions out there you can Google.

Whatever works for you. I don't like Sptofy for multiple reasons one being they treat artists like crap paying the very little or in alot of cases nothing.

Thanks. The Node 2i sounds really good. Lots of features that the Sonos Amp doesn't have although it doesn't have HDMI like the Sonos. I used Spotify Connect on multiple devices including the Kefs and airplayed from the spotify app too.
