Title: Great wireless audio. Terrible top description
Review: Great wireless audio – But terrible product description at top. This is for running audio from iPhone or any Apple device through wireless home network to your amplifier and speakers. It replaces old and discontinued Apple airport device perfectly. It is not for Bluetooth. If you don’t know what you are looking for that top product description will not help.I have used Apple airport for years to feed wireless audio from iPhones and computers into my high end stereo amp. This does the same. Perfectly integrated into Apple iPhone software. Note that you need an iPhone running OS18 and higher for setup and Apple devices with recent versions of OSX. Immediately available as audio output on all home Iphones and my Mac computers after simple setup.I ran this against my old Apple Airport to evaluate sound. It is just as good, and the Airport has very good audio resolution — That I tested years ago in detail. Absolutely no problem with device, but I do have a strong wireless signal throughout our house.Presently I am using the analog output. It is good. I may hook up optical output to my DAC and then to amp— but as of now I am fine with audio. I am driving a very good amplifier and high end stereo speakers with this system.Nothing through wireless will satisfy the audiophile snob — which I once was. But it is far superior to a Bluetooth connection. We tried that. Forget it. Use wireless if you can. Seamless connections for all the family.Hope they don’t discontinue this product. I bought it now as insurance against death of my 17 year old Airport, which is still working just fine. But for now, this has replaced it. Good luck. It works !

Title: Good Low Cost way to add AirPlay 2
Review: Initially had issues connecting but I missed the instruction booklet (which must have fallen out when I opened it, and then my toddler apparently threw it into her playpen).Once I found that, it was simple, and the connectivity has been perfect. Sound quality is fine. Not a ton of range, but that’s compared to vinyl and cds playing through same system. Also have only been using the analogue cable as I cannot connect optical to my current system. There’s an expected/acceptable dropout in music quality, but the convenience is worth it when I occasionally want to play a longer playlist (parties or when cooking when constantly flipping a record is inconvenient).Sync seems good and played well when I simultaneously streamed to my HomePod. Honestly that sync added a bit of the range I was looking for… wish I could use the HomePod as a wireless sub…Overall can’t beat it for the money if you want the added convenience of Bluetooth (specially if you can take advantage of the AirPlay 2 quality – which is adequate). Most other similar systems cost at least twice as much.

Title: Works great in my setup!
Review: I am using this to play music in my bathroom while I shower. It is connected to a SMSL M100 DAC and SMSL A100 amp. In this application it works great!My main complain is with the setup process. It took several attempts for my phone to recognize the device. NFC would not find the device no matter what I did. Once I installed the Belkin Soundconnect app the process was a little smoother, but not without its hiccups. It took the app a couple of tires for it to reconcile my device. Then it took the Apple Home app several attempts for it to recognize the device as well. Belkin really needs to work on the setup process. It’s quite buggy at this time.One other minor complaint is lack of track controls on the device. It would be nice if it had play/pause and track controls, or maybe even a remote. I don’t think this is asking too much at this price point. I know music can be controlled on the sending device; but, as I said, I use this while I shower and my sending device is in another room. I do not knock the device for this, it does not state in the product information that track controls are a feature. It would just be nice to have them.Several reviewers have complained about low audio output volume. While the 3.55mm jack is not the best I did not have this issue in my setup. I wonder if those who do are using a small speaker or a low-power amp? I am actually connecting my via optical to an external DAC. Though the volume output through this connection is not the highest, it is not that bad. I can get more than enough volume from my system. I highly recommend that anyone who purchases this device use the optical audio output. I do recognize that this is an additional cost if your amplifier does not have it built-in, but it is worth it.The sound quality on this unit is very good, especially through the optical audio using an external DAC. I do release this has more to do with the DAC than the Soundform Connect. However, a poor qualityAiprlay receiver could result in sound quality segregation even via optical. I replaced an aging 3rd gen Apple TV with the SoundForm and it sound at least as good as that old Apple TV, if not slightly better.If you are looking for a simple AirPlay 2 receiver you really don’t have a lot of options not he market at this time. The SoundForm Connect is one of the only. It is slightly overpriced, even at $80, but it works well. The setup process is a bit buggy and for that reason I did remove a star from its rating. Perhaps if Belkin can fix that it would receive five stars. Either way, don’t hesitate to buy this device if it is what you you are looking for in your system.

Title: It’s fine.
Review: Edit 2: WARNING! After changing some network settings on my router, I lost connection with this device and cannot restore the connection at all. I’ve done a factory reset several times. The RFID signal isn’t detected, and manually adding to HomeKit by adding the code fails every time too. Downgraded to 1 stars.Edit: WARNING! With the release of iOS 16 these are no longer supported by HomeKit. They still work as airplay receivers, but cannot be controlled by the home app.Easy to set up in homekit, and a reliable network connection. The only competitive device on Amazon is the WiiM, and this is much more reliable when it comes to staying connected.The WiiM has a much better app with more functionality. And significantly, the WiiM can handle Hi-Fi audio up to 24 bit, 192 kHz. If Belkin would upgrade the software for HiFi, this would be hands down superior to the competition. The WiFi and SPDIF port should be able to handle it already, so it’s just a matter of a software upgrade.

Title:
Review: This is a one trick pony that performs just as one would expect. We are using this device in an Apple environment. Getting the device recognized on an iPhone 11 was a chore. I don’t know if it was using the camera or NFC, but it took many tries with the Home app. Once successful it has never again needed the home app. A few times over the past couple of months the Soundform has failed to show up on my list of devices: a power cycle on the beast rectifies the problem.Some reviewers have moaned the cost of the Soundform. I wonder how much the licence cost to use Airplay.

Review: Setup couldn’t be easier by just bringing your iPhone next to the unit, just like AirTags and Airpods.AirPlay streams losslessly unlike Bluetooth, if you use it to hookup your HiFi, its like the best of both worlds. For Bit-perfect audio, your volume on your device must be set to 100% volume, adjust the loudness on your HiFi side.

Review: I was looking for a small and reliable AirPlay device since long for my farm house where I can play my music to all my outdoor speakers and inside music system together. Since my indoor Bose system has inbuilt AirPlay I needed another AirPlay device which has AirPlay too to connect to my amplifier, and this the one. I have tried many other AirPlay device but the main issue was with them was sound lags. This one perfect 👍

Review: I have a bunch of legacy amplifiers that drive outdoor speakers, ceiling speakers and other applications where AirPods are not an option.The Connect brings them into the AirPlay 2 family perfectly. I had no problem configuring with iPhoneX and as long as wifi signal is good – no dropouts.I’ll be buying more.
