Oh, this is almost exactly what I have been waiting for. Finally. Although, knowing my luck, there will undoubtedly be some spanner in the works as per.

A couple things IOS 27 makes linsonic redundant? And white are on the Neil young album are the outfitting album gain or individual track gain? Could you review this again with iOS 27 in mind incl new Apple TV

Well the last words in your excellent video are perhaps the most important. It requires an iPad. Moreover you actually have to have an additional Apple device as the remote. I reckon most/all Apple Music subscribers have one mobile device. But perhaps one should add the related cost of one additional apple device to the 12 USD for the app to compare the same fruits.<br>As a Roon user, such a solution looks quite weird for myself. I would really rather appreciate Roon/Apple Music integration. In my view, this would technically kill Qobuz for me, or at least I would stop paying for. I currently subscribe to Apple, Qobuz as well as Tidal and this is extreme.

I might be missing something obvious, but is it one time cost for all your platforms (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV), or do you pay for each one?
