Agreed. and now you can add the BP-17 cubed preamp into the same box -- the new BR-20.
For separates, I do like the concept of the dCS bridge - no display, no buttons - it is a bridge/streamer. As a recent convert to Roon, using an iPad pro or similar as the interface is superior to any built-in interface I have seen.
