I think you know that I am not a big fan of streaming. I do appreciate the convenience and I do some Spotify on the move, but other than that I much prefer to own my music as files or physical media.
Thats why I was trying to invest as little as possible and get as much as possible when I was looking for a small streamer for one of my rooms.
If you remember the WZ-501S and small EL34 Oldchen will be replacing my dining room setup, but these are larger than current setup so I was looking for something small that could replace my HTPC that was running the show there. And since Arylic has good opinion in DIY community that was one of my first choices. They are known for good quality boards that you can build in your own DIY device and some of them made their way to audio gear that you can also use as off-the-shelf stuff.

You can get one directly from Arylic, its cheapest option (I think) as there is 10% off regular 99$ price for new customers. Its available here:
https://www.arylic.com/discount/HZ10?...
Discount code is HZ10 but the link should already include that - make sure at the checkout! :)
They also have their shop on Ali here:
