As always, Audioengine has come through with a high quality music streaming device. Very affordable but does not skimp on quality. Easy to setup using the Audioengine app. Sound quality is superb, definitely better than using Bluetooth.

RIght now using for streaming music and playing TV through it.

Great device, using it at church with our streaming setup.

Great for BBC Radio 6 music and streaming from Apple Music and Qobuz.

I have only had the Roku® Streaming Stick®+ (model 3810) two weeks, so I can’t give a long-term, comprehensive review. I can share my limited experience though, which is positive. Initial setup was straightforward and painless. Apps for all of the streaming services associated with my Roku account were automatically installed. The ability of the Stick+ to control TV power and volume is a nice feature. I have used it on two Samsung TVs and it automatically detected and synced with each, and didn’t require entering codes or fiddling around. I have two other Roku devices, an original Streaming Stick and a Roku 3. The Stick+ is a LOT faster than the original Stick. The responsiveness of the Stick+ isn’t noticeably different from the Roku 3 (which is acceptable). The picture quality is good. I only have 10 mbps internet service, but I have not experienced buffering or any other performance issues. Even when another another device is streaming HD content, both streams work without a hitch. So far it appears to be more robust than a FireTV stick I had (that I gave to a daughter), which often buffered when another stream was active. Unscientific observation, but that’s the way it appears to me using the “eye-test”. The bottom line is that I am happy with the Stick+. When I purchased it I actually wanted a hardwired (ethernet) device, but there were none available locally so I went with the Stick+. So far I have no regrets having done so, and I have no reservations in recommending it.

Streaming music - excellent sound and very easy to use
