Victrola announced a significant software update for its high-end, Sonos-ready turntables, including the Stream Carbon, Pearl, and Onyx, which will now support Bluetooth, UPnP, and hi-fi Roon streaming. The update aims to enhance streaming versatility and is set to install automatically. While this improvement is welcome news for customers, it's puzzling that such features were initially absent despite the hardware being capable. The announcement comes amidst challenges faced by Sonos, leading Victrola to cautiously integrate these enhancements during turbulent times.
This update will dramatically increase the streaming versatility of the Stream Carbon, Pearl and Onyx turntables, significantly enhancing user experience through Bluetooth and Roon streaming.
While the new capabilities are good news for anyone who spent anywhere from $600 to $1,500 on a hi-tech vinyl player, it seems curious that the premium gear launched without these capabilities.
