There’s a small but noticeable uptick on the audio side too with Dolby Atmos soundtracks and music in terms of weight, spaciousness and cohesion to the soundstage. The blackest blacks are just a little bit blacker, and there's a little extra brightness and vibrancy at the other end. There's marginally more contrast on offer. In terms of performance, the differences are small. There's also a new HDMI 2.1 socket, to add support for 4K HDR content in frame rates of up to 60fps, and compatibility with Apple's spatial audio via AirPods Pro and AirPods Max headphones too.

The other significant upgrade is the processor: Apple has swapped the A10X Fusion chip of the old model for the A12 Bionic, claiming “more realistic games, more lifelike videos, and more immersive sound”. The remote control has been updated but there's very little difference to the physical design otherwise. It took four years to get a new one but this is the latest Apple media streamer.

Read the full Chromecast with Google TV review If you need that, then try Amazon Fire Sticks or the more expensive Apple TV 4K instead. There's still no Apple Music app, though.

The addition of Apple TV and Apple TV+ has been a particularly important update when it comes to improving the 4K HDR PAYG film and TV options.

While, natively, it doesn't have quite as many apps as some rivals, you can make up for that by casting anything it doesn't have from your mobile or tablet instead. Top suggestions will always be from streaming services to which you already subscribe, and in top quality where possible, rather than Google trying to sell you content to which you already have access. That's best underlined in the way that it presents search results with an even hand. It's better looking, more intuitive, more searchable and, crucially, excellent at making suggestions of what to watch next.

Google TV is the successor to Android TV and has been rolling-out to smart TVs since 2021. While this streamer and the Fire TV Stick 4K are an even match for performance, it's Google's superior operating system that wins the day.

I was just curious if any of you have run into a similar problem, and which unit ended up working out for you? The video worked, the audio worked, etc.īut, using it more, I notice that the video still drops signal once every 15 minutes or so. I, ironically, found an Insignia-branded one at Best Buy that worked better than all the rest. One partially did, but would drop video signal every minute. I have tried three different ones from Amazon, and they wouldn’t even give me an output signal. The best solution in this case is an HDMI audio extractor that I can use to feed my DAC via TosLink.

I almost always feed my RME ADI-2 FS DAC via a USB adapter from my iPhone 11 Pro Max, but I would also like to feed it via my computer. It works absolutely perfect for having two spots to use my computer in.

In my den, I have an HDMI cable running through the walls to my monitor and then I also have a wireless gaming mouse and keyboard. My listening den is located across the room from where my Gaming PC is connected to my big screen.
