That could be what's driving the cost up. | |

I agree wattage is not everything but I somehow doubt this is an audiophile amp | |

Only supports Android, so no streaming / controlling from a computer. Shame. | |

Not really half the price of sonus is it? It's £350 for an S5 + bridge, which just works. | |

quote: If its connected to an Amp it can be used in a very similar way to this. You just select play audio to AppleTV and it will come out your speakers, if you do just want audio then go for the even cheaper Airport Express. So maybe a better comparison is an Airport Express The only things I can see it does which Apple TV doesn't is Has a 25W Amp Has a volume knob (For $200 I am pretty sure you could get a better amp than 25W) Also you can't stream stuff from your phone to it, it downloads from the cloud so if you have something on your phone like a movie it does it via the cloud, it does not do it using local connections like Wifi etc. | |

Maybe so, but look at the sonus stuff. This does the same and more but is half the price. | |

That's true, it's still got the mentioned downfalls for me though, I'd find more if it was apple. | |

Apple TV cant be used without you having your TV on though really. | |

It's $299 dollars, which is 3x the $99 an apple tv costs. | |

Nothing like apple TV apart from the bits that are just the same, like sharing music and videos to your TV /stereo? | |

Not quite. Can connect speakers directly to it. No need for a TV. Just play music directly through it from your tab/phone. | |
