Congratulations on our new "hobby"-yes it is a slippery slope as ou can never go back. Ifi make great stuff -some of the best sounding at an price-just beware the ZEN streamer -it sounds great but has a half baked OS that is a pain to use where as the Bluesound Node is a breeze to use but doesn't have the SQ of the Zen choose your poison.

Was listening to RP on my ifi Zen streamer and notice an improvement in SQ. I checked the indicator light and it was blue rather than the usual green which indicates MQA master.
Thanks RP bluesound is a good product bit not the last word in SQ.
It is great RP continues to innovate and push the boundaries in tech  that make it such a great resource.
