Two speakers are better than one

The speaker on the 3rd generation Amazon Echo Dot is bigger and better than the 2nd generation — a 1.6-inch speaker instead of a 0.6-inch speaker — but why listen on such a small speaker when you have bigger speakers all over your house? You can plug your Amazon Echo into bigger speakers thanks to the 3.5mm audio output port, but Amazon does not include a cable to do so.

Many of us already have a 3.5mm aux cable sitting around our house somewhere to use with the new Amazon Echo Dot, or a 3.5mm to RCA adapter to hook the Echo Dot up to an audio video receiver, but if you do not, these old-school cables are easy to find in as sort or long a cable length as you could ever want.

What about digital output?

The audio output from the new Amazon Echo Dot is analog only; it does not offer digital audio output from its 3.5mm audio output port like a Chromecast Audio does. While you could use an analog to digital converter to connect an all-new Echo Dot to a digital audio system, you might be better off using Bluetooth instead.

Bigger and better in every way

The latest Echo Dot has a vastly improved speaker that's 70% louder and offers a more clear sound for Alexa's responses and streaming music. A new soft-fabric siding gives the all-new Echo Dot a cozier feel and comes in three colors so that the Echo Dot can blend in or stand out among your home decor as you wish.
