Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts?

After reading all the comments, I guess I am the black sheep of this forum. I would buy this streamer because I don't use a streaming service. I only stream my own music library. Already have a Lumin though.

@fuzztone  "No Tidal or Qobuz? What’s it stream, AM radio?"  LMAO

I don't get why this was released without Tidal or Spotify connect.  Guess I can forget about XM Radio which I play for background music quite a bit.

It seems insane to release a streamer that doesn't natively support streaming services.

100% agree. For a company like Denafrips to release it without such support seems incomparably boneheaded and/or greedy.

+1, I do not understand how they can release a streamer without supporting Tidal or QoBuz.  

I have Tidal and Qobuz , it's native to both machines.   The BluOS has a lot of streaming choices.  The Aurender has Tidal, Qobuz, and Apple Connect along with Spotify Connect.   

Who in their right mind would choose a streamer that does not include Tidal and Qobuz by default.   

I just bought a Cyrus amp and while on their website I saw that they are releasing a new streamer.   The new Cyrus units will be driven  by the Bluesound OS.   Smart move.  It is a very good, proven platform.   

The Denafrips sounds like it is full of compromise right from the start.   

The Eversolo is a damn good machine for the money.    I would pick that over the ARCE
