Especially when they are flat out wrong, SACD is not dead like Betamax, not even close. SACD continues to be pressed albeit not in mainstream quantities, but then again CD isn't pressed in mainstream quantities anymore either. The Swedish classical music label BIS releases about 75 new titles...

The tonearm lifts away too.

I see the WiiM Sound wearing white trim is now also available for preorder in the U.S. Previously I had only seen the black version available until today.

Amazon is giving a range of dates for delivery, a span of about 3 weeks for my region. They will then notify you via email when it actually ships at which point you can track it as usual, it won't be a surprise delivery.

The v1.12 is available for Android TV which is likely what he is referring to if you are saying it's not yet available for Fire TV. I believe with the previous update that was also the case, available first on Android TV and the Fire TV update lagged somewhat behind.

Interesting, I have a Galaxy S25 running Android 16 and I'm not seeing this issue:

Because they aren't experts at all. Even the mainstream old guard media publications had relatively few expert reviewers with regard to technical knowledge, but todays "experts" and the reviews I think you are referring to (video reviews) are not experts at anything except producing click bait...

I've got 3.3.8 on iOS, on Android I'm still on 3.3.7 however.

That did happen this time too, the original version of this update was posted on Sept. 24th and then withdrawn at some point thereafter, and a replacement with a different version number was submitted on Sept. 26th. The release notes were unchanged between the two.

The original point I made had nothing to do with me, or you, or how things are pronounced differently on a regional basis. Rather, it had to do with online reviewers failing to do even basic research/learn and use the correct pronunciation of a brand for which they are publishing a review. I...

No, but I do say Noy-mann (Neumann), Noy-trick (Neutrik) and Roy-terrs (Reuters) for example, and I'm a dumb American.

That is correct, and I am aware that ALL Americans pronounce that one wrong, but much like the silent H in words like "white" I do use locally generally accepted pronunciations in many cases. That doesn't mean I don't take the small amount of required time to look into it, I am generally curious...

Right, like I said, just a minor detail easily ignored by the YouTuber crowd. Funny, I've never had any trouble whatsoever with pronouncing any of the brand names you've listed, and the only one you've listed that I hear consistently mispronounced in the U.S. is Hyundai. I reiterate that...

Exactly, this had been officially clarified more than once, yet cheapaudioman among others ignore it or simply can't be bothered with correct pronunciation. Superstar legend YouTubers don't need to be concerned with such minor details I guess.

True dat, Americans (like me) tend not to properly pronounce the "h" in words like white, or whim, over time that "h" has fallen silent.
