I am thinking of buying one of these and utilize the volume no volume control option as a HT bypass. The only thing I do not like is that the input is RCA...so I will have to plug it in via RCAs and let it convert it to balanced to go to my left and right channel amps. I have watched some Youtube reviews and I love the front faceplate which can be a vu meter, or a clock, etc...it also lets you display the rear panel on the front panel and config the inputs and outputs.

That looks like an very interesting little device from an interesting little company... Wonder how it sounds??? And the MSP for the rs150 almost 4k$? From an unknown... Ouch!!!

It looks like it does Internet Radio and streaming services like Tidal + MQA... What about the others like Qobuz, Spotify, Deezer, etc???

Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained... Is there any home trial available???

They do support Qobuz, and Spotify, and say there are other apps coming.That model is their top of the line model they have another model that is under $2k. It Looks like Amazon is a Distributor for them in the USA (I do not see anything on Amazon when I search though), so I assume you would have the Amazon return policy. Tbe warranty is 2 years and from what I have found they have been around since 2018. They also say free shipping in USA. Not very long, but a South Korean Company. The reviews I have read say it is the new king of the hill of media streamers.

Apparently the parent Company Citech has been around since the 1960s.

If I have the cash in about a month...I think I will get it.

Well they just told me that it will notwork as a HT bypass by using the rca input to the xlr output, and just turn off the volume control because everything goes through the DA conversion. I do not think they understood my question. I replied and explained itanother way.

Well that's a bummer.
