Really impressive for the money.
It's got enough power for any normal home use and plenty of connectivity, including AirPlay.
Things I didn't like:
- Getting the board to connect to my home wifi was a pain, I could connect my phone to board just fine, but then the app just didn't want to work with it - disable mobile data while doing this. After that, WiFi works just fine, amp remembers WiFi networks it was connected to and keeps a stable conn...

It's got enough power for any normal home use and plenty of connectivity, including AirPlay.
Things I didn't like:
- Getting the board to connect to my home wifi was a pain, I could connect my phone to board just fine, but then the app just didn't want to work with it - disable mobile data while doing this. After that, WiFi works just fine, amp remembers WiFi networks it was connected to and keeps a stable connection. Not having 5GHz wireless is no issue.
- WPS button, which acts as on/standby switch, is on the back of the board by default. You can connect another one via a 9-pin header, though.
- Not sure how to use SPDIF input, it's not in the inputs you can select by mode button and pressing it on the remote doesn't seem to do much. Board has a 5V output, so Toslink should be possible. Haven't really tried this yet, though, it's not an accessory you can buy with the amp.
- USB connection is only live when USB input is selected. If you switch to other input, USB will disconnect. It wasn't reconnecting back on my PC by switching input back to USB, I had to unplug and plug the cable.
Board also has a DSP, which is fantastic, but the application for programming it is sold separately - haven't had the opportunity to try it yet.
