In the other camp, you have people like veteran rocker Neil Young, who became so famous that he invited &#8220;real&#8221; fans to listen to his music at concerts, so they could hear &#8220;everything&#8221; he recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Some believe it makes no difference. We&#8217;ve heard arguments from both sides for years, but last week, we were surprised to hear Oliver Schusser, Apple Music&#8217;s vice president, throw some shade at the unmissable sound. Specifically, while <em>Billboard&#8217;s On Record<\/em> podcast, he suggested that most people can&#8217;t tell the difference between a regular broadcast and a lossless one.<\/p>\n<p>This statement is unusual, since Apple Music offers quality with hi-res streaming, and the company makes a strong library of HomePod smart speakers, Apple TV streamers and iPhones that support the technology. But hey, each to his own, we guess. Like we said before, if you really can&#8217;t feel the difference, that&#8217;s okay. You probably just saved a lot of money in the long run&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the full story: <\/strong><em><strong>Apple Music CEO: &#8220;Most people can&#8217;t hear the difference with lossless audio&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-fXsThZMR42ezwjLLqVrcpU\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-fXsThZMR42ezwjLLqVrcpU slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest hi-fi, home cinema and tech news, reviews, shopping advice and deals, delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"nad-s-got-a-new-precision-engineered-cd-player-3\">NAD has a new \u201cprecision engineered\u201d CD player<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-7e496c32-5b46-4f54-8eaa-8e1176fc7372\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:6559px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.24%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"NAD C 589 CD player\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Tj2FcbcSJ8HE4bNyeQuazE.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Photo credit: NAD)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-41563356-ace3-4440-ade8-fd7adbf4a6a7\">If you&#8217;re a CD lover, have money to spare and want &#8220;lifelike&#8221; sound from your shiny discs, then the new NAD C 589 might just be the player you&#8217;ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>NAD launched a new CD player last week, promising its use of high-quality components and Qrono D2a filtering technology, developed by the student favorite MQA Labs, will allow you to provide unparalleled levels of performance and more natural, life-like sound.<\/p>\n<p>Considering our experience with filtering technology in Bluesound&#8217;s Award-winning Node Icon last year, the pairing piqued our interest.

Not only did the AE300 Mk2 receive a five-star rating, it also won the Product of the Year award in the 2025 What Hi-Fi? Prizes.<\/p>\n<p>The AE309 Mk2 shares a lot of common DNA with its static siblings, uses the same drivers and has a similar (albeit larger), understated appearance. They also distribute goods according to gender.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to hardware that&#8217;s worth the price, like the Arcam A15+ we used during testing, the speakers deliver incredibly natural, balanced sound that&#8217;s full of detail and clarity. So much so that our reviewers didn&#8217;t find themselves looking for our current recommendation at this level, the award-winning Fyne Audio F501E.<\/p>\n<p>As we say in our review of the Acoustic Energy AE309 Mk2: &#8220;Credit to Acoustic Energy, we now have another member of their 300 Series that comes highly recommended by our review team. The compact AE309 Mk2 stands up well in the tough field of the speaker market, but their balanced and musical sound is a match for any competitor.&#8221; These speakers are worthy of any of your competitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read our full <\/strong><strong>Acoustic Energy AE309 Mk2 review<\/strong><\/p>\n<aside data-model-name=\"Acoustic Energy AE309 Mk2\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-widget-type=\"review\" class=\"hawk-root\">\n<div class=\"hawk-main-container\">\n<p>Acoustic Energy AE309 Mk2 deals<\/p>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-items-container hawk-review-items-grid-items\" data-stacked=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-container hawk-review-items-grid-item\" data-expandable=\"0\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-load-more=\"false\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-main-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-main\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\" data-expanded=\"0\">\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"image\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/search-api.fie.futurecdn.net\/img\/misc\/no-image-available.svg\" alt=\"View similar Amazon US\" title=\"View similar Amazon US\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-product-image\" draggable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"78\" height=\"70\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"hawk-grid-item-block-container hawk-review-items-grid-item-block\" data-name=\"merchant\" data-product-type=\"200\" data-button-type=\"\" data-stacked=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.fie.futurecdn.net\/logos\/merchants\/amazon-us-15006529670367-100-80.png.webp\" alt=\"Amazon\" title=\"Amazon\" class=\"hawk-lazy-image-logo-image\" draggable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"80\" height=\"40\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2 id=\"our-senior-staff-writer-saw-samsung-s-next-gen-tv-3\">Our senior staff writer saw Samsung&#8217;s next-generation TV<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-ba78a1c3-844c-4401-ac24-05533c99ebec\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:5712px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samsung S90H in a modern hotel environment\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/dFQjYNSS7x2iUALPo9r78i.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-50475c45-a712-4652-9ebe-43a5b15a41e8\">There&#8217;s been a lot of talk about RGB Mini LED TVs lately &#8211; including us &#8211; we have our first set with the technology, the Hisense UR9, to test right now.<\/p>\n<p>This is a new panel technology that has been touted by many companies, including Hisense, Samsung, Sony, TCL and more, as the future of premium TVs.
