What are you working with for ear buds? I've tried my best IEMs westone Um3s an also Senn IE8s apple is o.k but the lack of good EQ'ing leave me wanting. I've read that some have added an amp and get good sound. But my original point is that this is an easy area to upgrade for apple But as with the keyboard left/right arrow missing tHere are areas that apple ignore
Yes. I connect HDMI and sound cables to amplifier and TV. HDMI cable is long so can control it from my armchair, great for viewing pics. Also use Sony bluetooth headphones.
