Conclusion

 

Sondigo's Sirocco is not necessarily a sophisticated unit, but it is a product that works as advertised. The Sondigo Sirocco dodges the DRM loopholes altogether and lets you playback any music source from your PC to your home theater. The 5.1 surround is more of a gimmick than a useful feature simply for the fact that you will be using this product for music, not movies; but at least they let you use a feature of their audio processor rather than disabling it altogether.

 

We wish the Sirocco came in black or a high quality magnesium alloy so it can blend in with the home theater better. We also hope the company will add support for Mac and Linux operating systems. Overall, the Sirocco is a wonderful device to use. Save the money you would otherwise spend on an expensive media streamer and invest it in the Sondigo Sirocco.

 

 

Pros:

 

  • Easy to use and setup
  • Reasonably priced
  • Above average sound
  • Works as designed

 

 

Cons:

 

  • Software does not support Apple or Linux operating systems
  • Ugly beige color
  • Cheap Digital Optical Cable
  • Cannot output sound to your home theater and PC at the same time
