I have some gen 1 devices but at this point the hardware probably is worth replacing I think the mics are going bad on a few I have.
There are 3rd parties that appear to be working on the LACK of music quality speaker with alternatives to the voice only PE.
There seem to be some 3rd party music capable devices in the works but nothing ready made in production.
I am waiting for a better overall speaker and I need a new server that can at least run a small lllm to run the assistant as intents are too ridged
