OD-11 cloud speaker

at least nice design, no idea how it sounds:

kind of baffled by this one. does it downmix stereo to mono? do you need 2 for full stereo? i presume we're also talking about €600+ per unit. i could think of a lot better home stereo listening you could get for that money.

also, can you stream full resolution audio (not mp3) over wifi?

it does look nice though.

many cheap bluetooth audio streaming devices make use of the SBC codec, which is of very low quality.
mp3 and aac are not mandatory for audio streams over bluetooth, so only selected devices support these.

i can't imagine that teenage engineering would go with something like SBC for their speaker, since they have a certain pricetag - which comes with certain expectations.

however, i don't like the design very much, to be honest. maybe i just dislike to place a 30x30x30cm cube in my living room. i'm not a big fan of minimalist interieur anyway ;-)

oooh... so what are you doing here then?

minimalist interieurs are nice to look at but hard to handle for me. somehow free space is consumed pretty fast, here in my flat. ;-)
i suspect the 30x30cm^2 top area of this speaker would be used e.g. as a place to put papers, receipts, unread mails, cables, batteries and eventually food. might affect sound quality!
