Customers like the ease of use of the digital device. They mention that it is easy to set up over WiFi, relatively easy to use with the Alexa App, and simple. Some say that the setup is done directly on the Alexia App and that it makes an easy transition from tabletop speakers to in ceiling speakers. They also appreciate the ease with which they can control the volume on the unit itself.

Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the digital device. Some mention that the sound is pretty good, high-end sound without the expense. It rocks the speakers, is fine for ambient or casual listening, and is not going to blow any windows out. However, others say that the volume is not as loud as they would like, the TV audio is a little more complicated, and the audio stream will hit some sort of glitch in the digital audio encoding.

127 customers mention57 positive70 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the performance of the digital device. Some mention that it works great, plays well, and connects to wired speakers and subwoofers. They also say that it's great for powering and controlling outdoor speakers. However, others say that they could never get that working reliably, the app tells them that it only works when music is playing, and the Alexa app is near useless.

49 customers mention15 positive34 negative

Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the digital device. Some mention that it automatically detects everything they need to connect, it has plenty of in/out connection options, and easy WiFi connectivity for the amp. However, others say that the Bose Soundtouch app is buggy, loses connections to speakers, and the speaker connection terminals are terrible. It's also not a true Spotify Connect device and connects then briefly disconnects.

"...This is huge considering the Sonos does not support Echo multiroom unless you plugin an echo device through Line In..." Read more

"...Bose Soundtouch app is buggy, loses connections to speakers, had to restart the app few times, it works though experience is pretty poor...." Read more

"...On the plus side, it has plenty of in/out connection options but the lack of integration with other remote controls makes it somewhat useless...." Read more

"...Which is why I bought this amplifier. But then the audio won't sync like its supposed to. So that doesn't work either...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the digital device. Some mention that it's a fantastic value and adds to an Alexa-Wired Home, while others say that it is pricey and under powered for the price.

"...Easy to set up, integrates with everything, well priced, and sound quality is good enough for the price...." Read more

"...For what it does the device is over priced. Amazon usually gives you a real value when you purchase their tech products...." Read more

33 customers mention3 positive30 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the volume control of the digital device. For example, they mention that it's difficult to control the volume via the Alexa app, the subwoofer volume is not controlled, and the volume levels change randomly. Some say that the app crashes when they try to adjust the sound settings and that the volume controls are a bit laggy.

"...that analog in would yield an A-D-A problem since the volume control appears to be digital...." Read more

"...Only complaints, as others have noted is the volume control. Only Alexa streaming gets digital control...." Read more

"...1. No Alexa automation control of volume knob = no control of subwoofer volume...." Read more

I just added this and the so-so reviews are just wrong. The sound is very good and it’s very nice to just have Alexa play music. Buying another.UPDATE - I now use two. I can separately control zones easily using echos. I’ve tried multi zone before with other amps and while I could make it work nobody else in my family could. Nobody wanted a “fancy” amp.This solved my problem completely. Easy to use. Great sound. Enough power to drive patio speakers. Voice control. Multi zone.For those comparing this with cheap amps and connected echo dots… it’s just no comparison.
