APPLE AIRPLAY 2 ARRIVES TO BLUESOUND PLAYERS
Apple AirPlay 2 Arrives to Bluesound on December 11th enabling Bluesound's Generation 2i Players to be now certified for Apple's AirPlay 2 technology.
Following our recent review of the Bluesound Node2i the Canadian digital audio company has announced that all Generation 2i streaming music players will receive the much-anticipated software update that will enable Apple AirPlay 2.
On December 11th, all Bluesound customers will be prompted to update their players to the latest version of BluOS, Bluesound's award-winning, proprietary hi-res multiroom platform.
For customers with Bluesound's newest Generation 2i players, the software update will enable AirPlay 2. Gen 2i users can then stream music services, podcasts, audiobooks, movies, games, YouTube audio, TV sound and stored music from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac computer to any Bluesound Gen 2i player on the same WiFi network.
The integration also gives Apple Music listeners the ability to control playback on their Bluesound Gen 2i using Siri voice control.
The good news continues for Bluesound Gen 2i users with older Bluesound products in their home network. Using the BluOS Controller app, the previous generation Bluesound players can be grouped with a new Gen 2i unit, allowing them to play the same AirPlay 2 streamed content.
For more information, got to Bluesound.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
