    Chromecast from iPhone

    How do you do that? Unless I’m doing something wrong (and I may be, as only had an an iPhone for 18 months) - pressing the Cast button starts AirPlay and not Chromecast. I have done Cast instead of AirPlay before - but not sure how I did it. Or - possible to switch off AirPlay?

    How do you get the best of Apple Music on your HiFi ?

    Apple says that it has tracks of up to 24/192 available - but how does one go about using Apple Music to it's full potential ? It seems Apple TV 4K can't support sample rates above 48khz Sonos ERA300 doesn't sound like it does either Most hardware seems like it doesn't really And then...

    Dolby Atmos decodes Dolby Atmos Music ?

    I was just checking the differences between these the Marants Cinema 70 & the Marantz SR6015 at the site below. I know not official - but they say 70 has Dolby Atmos Music & the 6015 doesn’t? Is that maybe a sound field ? Or what exactly could they mean...

    I've had someone kindly assist with this about a year back - but I've changed phones (Android >>> iPhone) so I have none of chat history or contacts anymore . For the life of me, I can't recall his name (just where he lives). I know he browses here, so if you see this and can help with costs for...

    US (I think) double adapter

    Does anyone know where I could buy one one these locally at all, if even possible ? I have the below inverter to power 2 x AC PC monitors. I bought 2 x adapters - but they don’t physically sit side by side. So I use one and into a ZA adapter which works. I would just prefer a native plug into...

    UPS vs non-UPS inverter

    I’ve settled on a UPS inverter - but was looking at a Gizzu non-UPS inverter as well. But I’m interested - as people say even as UPS inverter shouldn’t be plugged in, what’s the difference? The website of the non UPS says not to keep it plugged in. The device is recommended to be used as a...

    Apple TV Settings

    I think I know the answer, but here goes : Is it better to set the device resolution as 4K SDR and March Content - than set it has 4K HDR ? I'd be right in saying that setting to 4K HDR means it's always HDR and forcing SDR content into HDR ? While 4K SDR keeps SDR as is - but ups to HDR when...

    eNatis - who has access?

    Aside from the traffic department, who else? Backstory is that I misplaced my papers for a paid up car and need to get them back. Wesbank can help, depending on who's name the car is on now. I can't recall what I did or didn't do - so no idea who what the eNatis records show. Wesbank can't...
