On the plus side, the new Echo adds an audio output jack, so if you really want to upgrade the sound, simply connect it to a full - blown audio system with
an analog audio cable.

Not exact matches
In the box with the speaker is an RCA (male) to 3.5 mm (male)
cable and a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm (male to male) to accommodate connection of any number of outboard
analog audio devices — think TV, Blu - ray player, or turntable.
You could, however, connect a TV's
analog audio outputs to the Max's 3.5 mm
analog audio input with an adapter
cable, though.
There's no
analog video or optical digital
audio output, no option to connect an Ethernet
cable if you want (the Nexus Player is strictly Wi - Fi) and no SD (micro or otherwise).
To work around this, users will either have to purchase a special dongle that provides
analog and digital optical output alongside the HDMI output or use a set of provided RCA piggyback
cables to tap the
analog audio output from a TV (which can stand to considerably degrade the sound quality in many cases).
Pushing that technology further (iPhone folks, take note here), the Sine can also be equipped with a $ 50 Lightning
cable that receives digital

Two separate back panels include an
audio output, headphone jack, Ethernet,
analog audio inputs, composite video input and an antenna /
cable input.
The left speaker's back panel houses all of the connections, including the screw - on antenna for Bluetooth reception, the banana plug - style output that sends sound to the right speaker (a
cable is included), an RCA - style stereo input and output, a 3.5 mm
audio input for mobile devices, and a micro USB input for connection to a computer — a way to bypass the digital - to -
analog converter on your speaker's output and let the HD3 handle things.
Also packed into the master speaker are all the inputs you're likely to need, including a digital optical port for your TV or CD player sound,
analog RCA inputs, a USB
audio input, and a proprietary
cable that connects the right - side master to its slave on the left in stereo.
