On: Amazon Echo

Worst case, it's a music streaming speaker that doesn't require you to stream via bluetooth. I wonder how the audio stacks up against something like the Bose SoundLink.

I've been using a chromecast + an HDMI audio splitter as a cheap way to stream. It works really well for apps that support chromecast, such as pandora.

Can you tell me exactly which HDMI audio splutter you use? I want to try something similar.

>Echo is Bluetooth-enabled so you can stream your favorite music services like Spotify, iTunes, and Pandora from your phone or tablet.

Seems like it needs Bluetooth to stream music.

Remember that Amazon has its new music service for Prime customers. If they didn't integrate that into this somehow, it would be quite confusing.

Echo is always on and connected to Wi-Fi so it's ready to respond instantly.
