Samsung Music Studio 7: stellar solo, unbeatable as a pair

Samsung's $500 Music Studio 7 is a premium Wi‑Fi speaker with a five‑driver, 3.1.1 setup and HDMI eARC, delivering solid standalone sound and, when paired with a second unit, a formidable TV audio option that can rival premium soundbars thanks to Dolby Atmos support, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and Samsung's Group Play. It includes SpaceFit room calibration and a companion Sound app for EQ and grouping, and can sync up to 10 Samsung speakers. Limitations include limited turntable wiring (Bluetooth or an analog-to-digital adapter via optical) and a design that favors form over inconspicuous decor. A pair runs about $1,000 and offers strong value for immersive home theater sound.

NTS Radio Player brings internet radio to your hi‑fi, with tactile controls and streaming support

NTS Radio and Swedish audio company Atonemo have released a dedicated NTS Radio Player ($179) that brings NTS’s hand‑picked internet mixes to almost any stereo or speaker setup via a 3.5mm output (with RCA adapter). It includes two direct‑tune buttons for NTS 1 and NTS 2, a 16‑detent dial, and supports AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect, with other streaming options like Qobuz or Apple Music available as well. Bluetooth is not included at launch but is slated for a firmware update; the device mirrors Atonemo’s Streamplayer approach and underscores human‑curated music discovery rather than algorithms. Update: Bluetooth support information added on June 19.

"HomePod Users Rejoice: AirPlay 2 Issues Permanently Resolved"

Spotify has yet to add native support for HomePod and HomePod mini, despite Apple opening up the speakers to third-party streaming music services in 2020. Spotify has also repeatedly promised to update its iPhone and iPad app with AirPlay 2 support, but it has failed to deliver so far. Spotify told Bloomberg's Mark Gurman that it "remains committed to supporting AirPlay 2 at some point in the future" and is "on a path towards making it happen eventually," but the company was unable to provide a definitive timeframe.
