BluOS app is top-notch! Very good streamer. Decent DAC performance. Thanks to its digital outputs, it can be paired with a more advanced DAC later on.

I already own Bluesound speakers and wanted to complete my setup with this network player.
It is easy to use, with a powerful app that is simple to install... and it looks great too!
The performance is there, and it enhances my "old hi-fi system" with excellent sound quality on both Bluetooth and online tracks from Deezer. I haven't used the headphone jack yet, but I plan to invest in that soon.
I had considered a Cambridge Streamer, but the ability to use this in multiroom mode with my speakers means I have no regrets about my choice.
