@ikea x @sonos' message to audiophiles (the way I read it): you think you need sub-bass in your kitchen and hallway...but you don't. Convenience and physical discretion are sometimes more important than a soundstage. #DarkoAudio #ikea #sonos #symfonisk

Lossless CD-quality streaming is reportedly coming

Lossless CD-quality streaming is reportedly coming to Bluetooth headphones next year via @qualcomm's aptX Lossless codec -- so we made a 🎥 short video 🎥 about it. Now up on the YouTube channel. #DarkoAudio #lossless #bluetooth #qualcomm #aptxlossless

If you're someone who likes to kick and scream abo

If you're someone who likes to kick and scream about a YouTube comment moderator deleting your comment - wailing that it's a violation of your 'freedom of speech' or that it's 'censorship' - then boy, have I got news for you. 😆My team and I have worked hard to grow the Darko.Audio YouTube these past few years; and for the past few months, our new comment moderator has been working diligently to keep the comments section free of any crazy talk, conspiracy theories, racism (see above) and sexism. Why? Because the YouTube channel is my home on the Internet. Commenters are guests in my house. It is a community of like minded souls. And because it's a community, everyone has to pull their weight. Olaf, Jana and I do most of the work in making the videos and all we ask in return is that you comment politely. Simple, right? And most people, thankfully, do! 🙏However, even though it is facepalm obvious to most of our audience, I'll repeat it for the hard of understanding: we're not making videos in order to host your childhood traumas or lack of civility. If you absolutely insist that the world simply *must* hear what you have to say then go start your own channel -- and we'll see how you and your racism (or whatever) sizes up in front of camera. #DarkoAudio
