Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great product
I did a lot of research on multi room streaming players and this hits the mark! Very easy to set up. Sound quality is excellent (So far I’ve only used it with Tidal). I currently have it connected to my Denon receiver and Polk RTi speakers in my 2.1 setup (Audio only). Will be upgrading speakers soon along with a new integrated Amplifier as I don’t need a receiver in this setup. There are a full range of streaming platforms available to Bluesound. You can also stream Apple Music to it via Airplay2, which is also crystal clear and far better SQ than Bluetooth. Looking forward to adding a few of the Bluesound speakers around the house soon for multi room audio

Streaming is great !
This unit has changed everything when it comes to streaming my TIDAL account. I thought I was getting the MQA quality music with my old setup, but found out quick what it’s supposed to sound like after this little baby arrived. It’s especially compatible with TIDAL because I can use the BluOS app or switch to the TIDAL app that I’m real comfortable with. Every time my amp indicates that it’s sending out 96, I’m a happy camper. Even found a 192 sample that sounded glorious. Connections make it very flexible and accommodating. Cheers

Streamer
I’ve grown to like it. Once broken in the sound improves. The ap gets great reviews but I think it could be improved alot. I also don't like that there is no power switch do it is on all the time. Streaming seems good and it sounds about the same as a cd. Note however, I use my cd dac which improved the sound .
