It's awful.Almost. I hate this remote and the whole Apple UI for Apple Music.

Mebbe but I'll never experience it other than on the Apple TV 4K.In my humble opinion. The UI for Apple is best on a iPad, next phone, next browser, dead last on Apple TV.
NoDumb question maybe, but does Apple TV support convolution like Roon or JD Rivers?
The newest remote looks better, they got rid of that click pad.Mebbe but I'll never experience it other than on the Apple TV 4K.
I have the newest remote. It ain't the hardware.The newest remote looks better, they got rid of that click pad.
As soon as you wrote that you bought the gen 1 4k I was thinking oh is the remote as bad as I've heard. Guess I'll skip that then. Think 4k boxes remains only way to get Atmos from Apple though which is pity. Maybe the better remote might help improve it somewhat.Wish I could add some knowledge to this thread but I'm totally Apple ignorant and run Linux on the desktop.
When Apple came out with all the Atmos and multich music I knew I had to have it so I purchased a Gen 1 4k box for $100. I just plugged the HDMI cable into my Marantz pre/pro and I was in business.. Almost. I hate this remote and the whole Apple UI for Apple Music.
When I really want to search for something I'll fire up the browser access in Firebox and type in what I want on the keyboard. Then I'll get a email from them complaining that I'm accessing my account from 2 different devices and I need to upgrade to Family to do this. LOL, NOT
I'm perfectly happy with the stereo sound quality and thrilled with the Atmos and Dolby Surround multich files.
Still keeping my fingers crossed that Spotify will bring something similar out and I can go back to using their great UI to play the music I love.
Don't let the mini go to waste.I realize that for a lot of folks this won’t matter, but you can use an iPad as the remote for AppleTV. Makes navigating the interface a lot smoother and easier. Maybe a used one, if you can find it cheap enough?
I understand the reluctance with Apple. My Mac mini from 2014 is essentially a brick, due to native OS bloated with undesirable, useless apps and features that can’t be readily removed, and cessation of support for the latest software. The hardware remains perfectly functional, but won’t run the latest Apple Music app, so for me is worthless. What a needless waste.
Yes you can hold down the buttons to seek.@Transmaniacon
By the way, using the Satechi R2 if you keep the ‘next/previous’ button pushed is it possible to seek into the song bar forward and backwards ? Thanks
Amen to that Kal!I have the newest remote. It ain't the hardware.
Can you please confirm that you can listen also to hi-res music with this setup? Thx.When Apple came out with all the Atmos and multich music I knew I had to have it so I purchased a Gen 1 4k box for $100. I just plugged the HDMI cable into my Marantz pre/pro and I was in business.. Almost
