![]() The unexpected part is that the Ecobee SmartThermostat can function as an AirPlay speaker, so Boston’s next step was to use Airfoil to route the incoming audio from his turntable over to his thermostat. That’s funky but mostly a matter of cabling. The video demonstrates how he connected the turntable to a Zoom Handy Recorder, which then fed the audio into an iMac Pro. On Twitter, user “Boston” shared a short video showing a turntable playing audio through a thermostat. Play Vinyl Records through an Ecobee Thermostat If I were doing this, I’d probably lower the volume on the two “inside” speakers (the right speaker on the left display and the left speaker on the right display) to account for the different distances. The solution? Loopback, which lets you create a virtual device, split the incoming audio into left and right channels, and direct each to a different Studio Display, playing each channel through both speakers in the displays. But you want to go further-you want the left stereo channel to come out of the left-hand Studio Display and the right stereo channel to emanate from the right-hand Studio Display. You want to play your audio through the displays simultaneously, which is enough of a trick in itself. ![]() Imagine you, like one very fortunate Rogue Amoeba user, have not one but two Studio Displays.

I am sure there are other solutions out there but this is the one that works in my situation. I was able to tune my output to my Sundara the way I wanted. ![]() Soundsource gave you the ability to fully control your audio input, output and what effects to apply. No problem to output to USB DAC and you can even customize which apps using which setup. I was able to use Apple 31 bands equalizer together with Soundsource. ![]() I stumbled over Rogue Amoeba Soundsource and installed the trial version and bingo - it works beautifully.

I was looking for an parametric equalize to enhance the headphones limitation is low, mid and high frequency. My setup is from YouTube Music -> USB out -> SMSL Sanskrit DAC -> Monolith THX AAA 887 Headphone amp -> Hifiman Sundara. I have been searching for a solution for months. ![]()
