I have used it and it works well. My only slight complaint is, it takes a bit of buffering to stream the song once it is selected, it is not immediate. This could be an issue with the service and not the hardware though. It was very reliable and I have never had an issue with it.

I'm unfamiliar with this unit and looking into C4 due to supply issues with my regular brand, so I have a couple questions:

How do you get the audio out of this thing!? I'm assuming you need to use it with some other Autonomic parts.

Same with an EA-1 - it's got a streamer built into it and it only has an HDMI output. That seems like a weird way to deliver audio.

With the autonomic music bridge you have to have a streamer to use it, A mms 1/3/5. The music bridge doesn’t do anything on its own. The guy I talked to at cedia said Apple Music is such a resource hog they had to offload the processing for it. The hdmi on the bridge doesn’t do anything, I assume they just use some generic single board computer to run it on, like a raspberry or something because I saw about 5 different devices at cedia that all had those exact same ports.

The ea1 is already being discontinued. It was meant as a single room controller so it was meant to go straight into a receiver. The core 1 which replaces the ea1 has a hdmi and digital coax output. And there is the core 3 and core 5 which have even more outputs.

Thanks for the info. I just got a Core 3 in yesterday and have to brush up on my C4 stuff since I set it aside after doing the initial training.

Yes does natively- no need for Spotify Connect. Has been this way for years.

Also the AMB requires an E series MMS server (MMS-1E, 3E, 5E). Will not work with older A series units.
