Customers are saying

While some users wish for a longer range and a built-in battery, the overwhelmingly positive feedback centers on the device's ease of setup and superior audio performance compared to Bluetooth alternatives. The convenience of using WiFi for audio streaming is also frequently highlighted.

    It has a real good dac. The clarity is nice. One can is that it is a lot more expensive, especially as it doesn't have any amp.
