This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!
