Fee for home audition

I am in the market for a music server/streamer. I was discussing with one of the authorized dealers for a streamer. He had a demo unit and was willing to bring to my home for an hour and let me try. He is located around 10-15 minutes from my home. He wants to charge 5% for home demo. Is this the industry standard? I am not meaning to disparage anyone so not going to name the dealer. I am just trying to see what the standard practice is.

Gents nothing wrong giving good tips it’s honorable, in fact if we don’t share our blessings we are just as good as broke? I applaud you. But OP situation is so different from the dealer? Will I pay $650 . No.

Congrats!  You should go back to your dealer and tell him how happy you are with your purchase and how wonderful your buying experience was.  He should know.

Congratulations on your purchase. Sounds like a great component.

Using a WiFi extender with a high end streamer solves the problem of running Ethernet lines. I know of more than one high end audio system running on a WiFi extender…. And yes the Ethernet cable between the extender and streamer makes a difference.
