I'm Dave.
Like I said only a total muppet signs up for something like this:

KICKSTARTER: ENABLING SCAMMERS SINCE 2009
No, mine is self rebooting. It will announce "I'm going shopping" and after a bit of downtime whilst completing this, will return to full functionality.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
If anyone is interested, the best deal is on the Echo Show 8 - half-price at £60. (Only £10 more that the Show 5 - difference being screen size (8" vs. 5")
I don't get why there is a difference between a PC, phone or "smart speaker" - you're sending information across the internet - whether it's voice or keystrokes, someone will be trying to work out a way to intercept them for dodgy purposes.
Anyway, being a "saddo" and "total muppet" I'll not comment any further.
