Early Impressions of Lab12 Integre4

What emotionless garbage are these "folks" listening to exactly? And what does it have to do with a relatively affordable speaker and hopefully good sounding speaker most of us haven't heard?  
A simple tweak for WiFi streaming only.
My modem and router are in one integrated box so no can do.  
Amazon music vs Qobuz
@robshaw I stream both Qobuz and Amazon on an Auralic Aries Mini which displays sample rate in the app and both services show sample rate there.  
Amazon music vs Qobuz
It's $7.99 if you have Prime but that said I can't remember ever seeing a bill for it.
