Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support?
I second the Innuos ZenMini.  I own one and am VERY satisfied.  Supports iPeng, Roon (love Roon) as controller and Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify.  Built in disc burner.  Excellent SQ.  Recently came out with the MKIII.  I have seen MKII available and seem... 
First Watt SIT-3 proper speaker matches
my answer is probably backwards, but I currently have an F7 driving a pair of Rethm Maarga and it is doing a wonderful job.  The retime are a wonderful sounding horn with built in powered bass.  I am awaiting my SIT-3 which I suspect will also dri...

Reco for a low power amp to try
