Amazon Echo Link - Hi-fi?


Amazon rolled out a new "hi-fi" streamer, Echo Link, that allows you to stream audio from your Echo to your stereo. It's $200, so not on the cheap end for Amazon (they have a cheaper Echo Input for $35) but definitely significantly cheaper than BlueSound or other streamers out there. It looks pretty sleek.

I can't seem to find any specs on the DAC chip or any components. Anyone hear anything about this? Thoughts on how this would sound?

I just picked up a Vault 2i.....  it's awesome.    Sounds great through it's analog outs with MQA and honestly it's probably better than any stand alone CD player I've owned.   I also have it connected to my NAD M51 DAC and it really sounds good with redbook and even better with 96k files.  Awesome machine.  It has two way Blutooth,  plus I can access my library with my OPPO 103 d if I want to see the album art on my TV and control it via the 103's IR remote should my tablet die.

I love it, I have been ripping discs all weekend.....   If you don't need a ripper the Node 2i does pretty much everything the Vault does
