I have an extensive sonos setup for my business. I’ve experienced a lot of trouble with the system just cutting out, skipping tracks over and over, and connecting to Apple Music. Every couple of weeks it just totally shits the bed.

Would love speakers that could serve music off my Synology NAS reliably and without microphones in my speakers to spy on me.

With the whole google/nest fiasco I don’t want to actively try to thwart a speaker from collecting data on me and my family. It’s exhausting.

Someone needs to start a company, like, Elgato Eve, where their primary feature product is privacy focused products. They would have my money every time.




Denon’s HEOS is an alternative which I can attest works, it’s far from perfect, but it does tick majority of your boxes.


I have an incredible set of privacy focused speakers. The only way my privacy can be invaded using them is if I inadvertently turn up the Styx too loud and everyone finds out my secret 80s love.
