Conclusion

The lack of external inputs baffles us, while the app is not as developed as most rivals, though still a work in progress. If you spring for Roon software, the capabilities are significantly enhanced (you could equally use Roon with dozens of other systems, right up to high-end hi-fi). Without Roon, other than streaming from a device this is a high-design multiroom Spotify system — and Spotify doesn’t leverage the quality offered here by this premium multiroom system where certainly the design, engineering and the performance levels all justify higher pricing than most equivalent rival units.
