Amazon Echo Link Smart Assistant - Black

Description

Amazon Echo Link Smart Assistant - Black.
Original owner (purchased last December), non-smoking home. Photos are of actual item.
Includes Echo Link, power adapter, instructions in original box.
Note that this does not have a built-in speaker and must be connected to your existing A/V system using either analog, optical, or digital coaxial cable and also to your WiFi network or your wired network. It supports Amazon HD Music and, to my ear, it sounds far better than Bluetooth-connected devices.  It's basically an adapter that allows you to stream Amazon Music HD to your A/V system. It's controlled by either the Alexa or Amazon Music app on your phone, or by another Alexa device.  After naming the device "family room", I was able to say "Alexa, play Pink Floyd in the family room" and lo and behold, it worked!  I could ask for any song, album or artist.  By linking an echo device in the same room with this, you don't even have to tell it where to play.
Because it streams HD music, a fair amount of internet bandwidth is required.
Works very well.  Has great sound -- I used both the analog and optical digital outputs.
Why I'm selling: I recently bought a HEOS-capable receiver that has Amazon Music built-in, so I no longer need this.
Ships priority mail, actual cost.  Happy bidding!
