Around here, we often like to make fun Stereophile reviews. I think perfectly reasonable and balanced ones should also be noted, even when the device is cheap (by Stereophile's standards). I use the free Volumio package on a RPI connected to a KTB in a secondary system and find the review perfectly matches my experience.

Hardware measurements are also excellent btw.

Very much unlike the previous review, where an expensive (although cheap by the reviewer's standard), hand made integrated amplifier lovingly designed by an interesting person ends up being described as near benchmark...

- broke down during transport and was retested in a revised design
- measured awfully anyway
- failed to deliver even close to its specs
