Yea pls tell us

Spotify is all I use but it also supports apple play. Those work fine but I don't see any other options. For Audio Quality I feel like the speakers have more impact than the amp, that being said this will output more power than the Sonos amp. But im not sure that actually helps as much as just getting better speakers. While Sonos does 125W per channel at 8 ohms Ubiquiti does 130W per channel at 8 ohms or 260W at 4 ohms. Ubiquiti also supports Dolby Atmos and TrueHD and other surround sound formats and specs that I dont understand. As for format, It takes RCA in, HDMI in, and Spotify/AirPlay. And outputs an RCA sub with banana plug speaker ports. For price I think it was $599 USD? Hope that helps!

I don't notice an audio difference but I am not an audio person really. I will say though, that there is a power difference. I am not really sure how that effects audio quality, I will say that with wifi signals power is king so this might be a similar situation. Power Output: Sonos Amp: 125W per channel at 8 ohms UniFi PowerAmp: 130W per channel at 8 ohms, 260W per channel at 4 ohms Audio Output: Sonos Amp: Stereo UniFi PowerAmp: Stereo and dual mono sound

I really hope so. It seems to let me select my office from Spotify even when I'm at home. But yea I wish I could manage it from the same portal!

It does make me hesitate to install this for clients because it would require that I am onsite to fix issues or change a configuration. I just cant understand why they would not use the Unifi Dashboard where literally everything else is! It would make this so much easier for me to manage for clients. We will see what they do about it in the coming months.

I think that was mostly on me for having my network so locked down. I dont use wifi in my office if I can help it and the wifi I do have is locked down in several ways to prevent things like multicast. So when I tried to hardwire it I should have known my phone would have a hard time communicating with it through the wifi.

I think I agree! Thanks for the feedback, I will give that a shot going forward!

There are very technical reasons why standards exist. And apparently 568A and 568B standards have about 3% EMI resistance difference. Which is why you will see B far more than A. I learned this after making this video actually. But generally speaking there is "crosstalk" on wires and the twisting of pairs helps cancel that out. So if you don't use either standard A or B you could still transmit at full speeds however due to crosstalk you may get significant packet loss. So sticking to the B standard is your best bet to avoid all those issues.

Here is a link to the tester I use: It is a very very simple tester. www.amazon.com/Ideal-Industries-33-856-Multimedia-Tester/dp/B00BRD77YQ/

@@LagniappeIT thanks for taking the time to get back to me.

Testers are your friends! Get you a tester that can send signal down a single conduit. And then take note of “how twisted” the pairs are. Like in mine the green pair is way more twisted than the brown pair.
