Extremely happy with this purchase

Replaced a mid range ~$500 Yamaha receiver with this and the sound quality difference is very obvious. I'm using the Audioengine HDP6 speakers which really sounded quite ordinary through the Yamaha but with the Audiolab it's a night and day difference. Particularly with bass response which was previously non existent. Connecting with Spotify, bluetooth and optical has been straight forward.

My only gripe is the pause/play/next/prev controls on the remote don't work when I'm using spotify to cast the music directly. It may work with the play-fi app but the experience of using that app isn't the best.

A bit larger than I expected, similar footprint to the record player
