Thiel’s Zöet cocnept speaker aims to take your current home Ethernet connection and merge it with the company’s lossless proprietary wireless network in order to locate and connect zöet self-powered IP-addressable speakers through a dB1 distribution processor. Zöet aims to properly synchronize sound between speakers – something that has long been a sore point for networked and wireless audio systems thus far. This is made possible by using an innovative technology that preserves signal synchronization to improve imaging and reduce echo effect common to other network-based systems. Thiel touts that Zöet’s performance is similar to traditional high-end audio systems, but I think I’ll put some grains of salt on that claim. What do you think?
