Review on Wireless Receiver Streaming Multi Room TuneBox30 Digital by Prince Ruffins

Update number 2, I'm updating this review as I just got my TB3s and they perform significantly better than the TB2s in terms of stability. Updating my rating to a 5 as I really like the sound of the TB3 and use the Roon software which makes it the perfect Sonos killer. TB3 does a great job streaming over WiFi and allowing you to control the volume of your devices from your mobile phone, tablet or computer. The software that TB currently uses is the same software that its competitors use. It's not great, but it's the best you can get today. I use my TB3s with Roon, see wireless_setup_2 for my latest setup. I use both TB2 and TB3 as my TB2s to stream my vinyl and my TB3s to stream my digital. The sound is better on the TB3, the TB3 has more streaming options, and setup is more intuitive. Upgrade - upgrade to 4 stars with support and then give me a solution to my wifi problem. And after a week of use, the sound, detail and picture are much better than the competition's products, which is probably due to the quality of the DAC. First of all, you should know that I want these people to WIN this market. They are an alternative to Sonos or other proprietary wireless protocol devices like Denon. The quality of the Nexum hardware is outstanding! This is the device that sits BETWEEN your preamp and/or mains audio sources and your amplifier. This is important because there is a significant delay in converting the signal to a digital format for transmission and then converting the signal back to audio. This seems to apply to all Airplay devices as they all have roughly the same latency. If you have one set of speakers connected directly to an amplified source and another set of speakers connected to Tunebox2, there will be a 2 second delay and therefore the sound will be terrible if you can even partially hear both sets of speakers. Check out the picture as I set it up. For me, one of the most important features is the ability to use Cat5 instead of WiFi. How Airplay works in party mode, sync play mode, all devices are only as good as all crashes from all endpoints, so you want your endpoints to be as reliable as possible. If you have multiple Tunebox2 devices that are at the end of the Wi-Fi range, all of your speakers will drop out. Unfortunately I can't tell if Cat5 is working as the configuration screens don't let you disable Wi-Fi and check Cat5 status. This is really unacceptable as you need a network packet sniffer on your subnet to see if AirPlay is working properly over Cat5. TO UPDATE. Nexum pointed out to me that you can force TB2 instead of Category 5 by changing the web key after the device has been set up, which will route all traffic over WiFi. Device configuration and both are practically unusable and it is not known why they are not the same software (this applies to TB2, TB3 fixes these problems). Tuning software, so there is a Nexum app for the iPhone that you can use to find and set up Tunebox devices on your network. There is no corresponding app in the Android store, so you need to figure out how to download and install the Android APK. The Nexum website has a video but it's in Taiwanese even if you're in the EN support section. Please note that you don't need any setup software, you can just use the web interface to set up WiFi or other network functions, but you can't control the L/R signal or party mode without setup software. Player software, so they only have the Tunebox3 player and are not compatible with Tunebox2. That being said, all AirPlay device manufacturers use the same starting point for their player software, and they all toast to it. Given all the great players, they shouldn't release their own mobile player, just release other players and software like NetAudio for Windows, which simply routes any audio to any AirPlay output. I personally don't use the player and prefer to use RoonLabs. They provide different playback for different zones and allow you to control the volume via software, so you don't need a gain source to have volume control. Roon is great if you have a lot of ripped CDs. iTunes also has good AirPlay support, including individual zone volume, but iTunes doesn't have the ability to control your AirPlay devices from your phone or tablet like Roon does. english.To sum it up, I use my Tunbox at least 5 hours a day around the house and it has reignited my love for music. Over the years it has been impossible to find a better stereo system for my 1000+ CDs and various streaming services. With the combination of Tunebox 3, Roon and amplifier and speakers of your choice, music is now fun again!
