This latest stick-style streaming player from Amazon is also its fastest thanks to a more powerful processor, so apps launch quicker than on earlier models. Also, it includes WiFi 6, the latest version of the wireless protocol. (You’ll need a WiFi 6 router to take advantage of this feature, though the device works with older routers.) This model supports the HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision HDR formats, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. It comes with an Alexa voice remote, so you can find, launch, and control content or even change inputs using voice commands.
Best for: Amazon Prime members either with—or expecting to get—a new WiFi 6 router who are looking for a speedy stick-style player.

 I purchased this one and sent back the FireStick 4K as the refund on the Firestick 4K covered the cost of this one and then some.  Things that impressed me (with caveats):  1. Ability to use captive portal internet. Currently the tvOS on the AppleTV does not allow for this unless you go through a process to spoof the MAC address of a device on the captive portal or somehow get a hold of the internet provider's help desk to have them add the MAC address

 Especially helpful for use by kids.  6. Ability to set multiple profiles. I have two daughters and was able to add the kids profiles that they use on their Amazon Fire Kids tablets

Being an all Apple household I have to say this device impressed me quite a bit. I purchased a Firestick Lite over a year ago to take with me for travel but it had a bit of lag and seemed to have network drop outs on hotel WiFi (I know hotel WiFi is less than desired but it was annoying). In December this device was on sale for over half off and I decided to try it out. This was after I had gotten the previous Firestick 4K which was a decent product but I found out it for whatever reason cannot get the latest software (but the "less capable" Firestick Lite can, baffling I know)

Good Device, Impressed this Apple user

Want my advice? This is the worst piece of crap I've seen that's got a Google and netflix certification on it. Don't buy it. The Amazon fire stick leaves this shit eating dust anytime, it's just way much faster and works fine, despite me thinking FireOS and the Amazon AppStore to be inferior.

Amazon bundles the latest version of its Alexa voice remote with the new streaming stick. Aside from the usual playback buttons, there are also dedicated TV controls for power and volume. And you’ll also find four branded shortcuts for Prime Video, Netflix, Disney Plus, and Hulu. (These can technically be reprogrammed, but it’s quite a process

As I mentioned earlier, the stick itself is impossible to tell apart from the standard Fire TV Stick 4K. Unfortunately, despite going “max,” Amazon apparently didn’t see fit to upgrade to USB-C for the (required) plug-in power; this device retains the Micro USB on its side. But getting up and running remains easy: plug the Fire TV Stick 4K Max into a free HDMI port on your TV, find an outlet for that USB power adapter, toss the included batteries into the remote, and you’re good to go. 

The improvements are minor but worth the extra cash

1 standard or Dolby Atmos (with a Dolby Digital Plus core ) but never Dolby Digital Plus. I love Dolby True HD but in the case of streaming , I am quite happy with Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Atmos but I prefer to not have multi channel PCM unless I am obligated to and that’s what Apple TV does to Hulu or any non Atmos content . So that’s why I got 4k max!!!  3. Dolby Vision is supported and HDR is supported and in a much improved manner so the $55 upgrade was completely unexpected and absolutely needed!  It’s the upgrade you thought you really didn’t need until you saw considerable improvements and apps that are more frequently updated on the platform!

99)  Couple things that happened when I spent the $55 (now $39.99) on the amazon 4k Max stick :  1. All the episodes of Jack Ryan were available on prime , on my smart tv’s prime app this didn’t happen, only season 2!?!  2. Sound and video were improved even though I had supported apps on my smart tv, and I cannot begin to tell you how much improvement I saw on Dolby Atmos support, especially Disney Plus and HBO Max , which had the apps on my smart tv but their Dolby Atmos sound was much better on the fire stick max 4k! Also Dolby Atmos support on the apps on the smart tv wasn’t perfect as Disney Plus didn’t have that support (for a certain period of time until it got updated) until I upgraded to the Fire Stick 4k Max! Then I had the best possible support for audio and video!  Multichannel PCM is technically better than Dolby Digital Plus but I much prefer Dolby Digital Plus because the decoding will be done by the bitstream transferring to the soundbar/receiver rather than the streaming device decoding the signal for you and sending it via PCM

Here we go!!

 Just make a TV remote for human hands for TV purposes.  THE STUPID BUTTONS Speaking of ablism, old remotes had large buttons with raised surfaces. This design is associated with products for the elderly and disabled, but it also benefitted the able-bodied because those buttons could be found and used in the dark by anyone. Some had a light-up feature

  Its design is more than ableist (which I accuse it of frequently), it's just garbage. Yes, I know there are products to compensate for this spectacular failure, but they shouldn't be necessary.

  NO TETHER - NOR PLACE TO ATTACH ONE There's not even a tether. At least in the old days if you were going to design a tiny terrible product you would at least have an attachable wrist tether and hope it would compensate for something. I would attach it to a larger lanyard - preferably one that glows in the dark and/or has an internal LED.  THERE'S ONLY ONE Just throwing this out there: Old TVS used to come with a PAIR of remotes

Efficient and Enjoyable ... Remote Design is AWFUL.

 I do wish the live channels could be arranged by preference, maybe there is a way and I just haven't figured it out. Here is what I am not crazy about, the menu or landing page. The Home, Find, Live in my opinion should be at the top of the page horizontal or vertical. This would allow for more apps to show as opposed to 6 and should simply scroll with no need to drop to an apps area (3 little squares)

I tried multiple times to have the Amazon Music service on the SONGBIRD app. I worked with support from Andover but we were unsuccessful. They eventually told me to return the unit for replacement. Still unable to stream Amazon music within the Songbird app and the new unit

 They eventually told me to return the unit for replacement. Still unable to stream Amazon music within the Songbird app and the new unit. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Songbird app, the Amazon music app and resetting the SONGBIRD itself. Nothing worked

 The unit itself sounds great. But if I can’t get it to work with Amazon, I will need to return the unit. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If money is important, you should consider the Andover Songbird or the Arylic S50 Pro+. I have the Songbird at $150 and it does everything I need it to do. The Arylic is a bit more flexible but more similar than not and sells for $219. You do not get all the features that the far more expensive units offer but damned close

Hey everyone,

I've been looking into digital streamers a lot and was curious what everyone else has been using/doing? I've been frustrated with Spotify's quality directly from the Firestick/PS4, so I currently have my laptop hooked into my receiver. I've noticed digital streamers are pretty expensive, but bluesound makes a nice streamer that's ~$500. I'm just curious if there are other alternatives for those of us who stream music often but want high quality!

Best digital music streamers?

  HOWEVER, there was a problem: several online services I use, like Pandora and Deezer, were not on the Songbird's menu, and I couldn't find any advice on how to access them on the manufacturer's website.  After a lot of online searching, I found the answer, which I'm sure is obvious to the more tech-savvy, who are all screaming "USE AIRPLAY!" (or the Android equivalent.)  If you are as unfamiliar with Airplay as I was, here's what you do (after you have the Songbird working using the sources it its menu.)  1

In a world where a "bargain" streamer costs upward of $300, the Songbird is a real breakthrough. Setup takes a few minutes, using voice prompts from the device and an app you download to your smart phone. (Just make sure your phone and the Songbird are on the same wifi network)  In my case, one setup was done the music on my ancient Mac (using iTunes and an equally ancient Logitech Media Server) appeared instantly and played with great audio quality. Additionally, the Songbird app showed a number of online audioservices, and the ones I tried also worked fine

 Deezer, the KDFC and NPR apps etc)  You'll probably have to re-establish the airplay connection if you take your phone out of range, or switch it to earbuds or whatever, but sorting that out is easy if you understand the basic principle of what you're doing: You are playing these sources ON YOUR PHONE, but using your sound system (via Airplay and the Songbird) as the speaker for that phone.

Works great. and here's how to get ALL the streaming services on it
