Line 21:

This does not however answer the question of why you would ''need'' to use a HEOS account, it only covers why some may choose to use one for additional functionality. There is no technical reason why the local functionality of the speakers can't still be used without an account as before. This raises privacy concerns as this forces many users who would be happy to use the app locally without an account, to sign up and sign in to the app, allowing Denon to collect data about users' listening habits.
