So this is super cool but i am questioning its reliability after playing a song from Spotify on my Sonos and then letting the app listen: the result was 0.1% too slow? I guess that’s a very small difference, what’s the degree of error to expect here?


So this is an excellent question, because no joke I have noticed the same thing testing with Spotify. Apple Music does not have that issue.

Makes me wonder: do different streaming services get different masters? Or, is Spotify having playback issues? To the app, they both should sound the same. I intend to do some research with that when the fog clears out a bit and the Android version is out.


I just played Bad Religion - Incomplete on YT Music through Sonos, app said "That's pretty much perfect". Played the same track on vinyl, app reported 3.5% too fast. Dev answered elsewhere on the post that .01% is required for the perfect message.
