A streaming amplifier doesn't have to be a second choice. You save on space, cables and remotes, but not necessarily on sound quality. B.audio promises that their Alpha One offers that. CORRECTION: B.audio informed me that “the fact that roon is deactivated when the device goes in standby has been corrected with our latest software update v.1.5.1a, which adds the support of Qobuz connect as well.”
