Anyone here has experience with Activo CT10 DAP?
I am considering purchasing this to use primarily as a network streamer in my set up (see my signature; Pioneer SP-FS52 to be added soon) to play my FLAC albums (from micro SD), Spotify and (hopefuly) Tidal. I hope to use it also as a regular DAP, with wired and bluetooth headphones. It will cost me 10k.
Unfortunately, I wont be able to audition it before purchasing. Hence reaching out to forum members:
Thanks!

- As a network streamer, in terms of sound, is it likely to be on par with or better than the Allo Boss v1.2 (a similarly priced player)? Would the lack of RCA out and having to use a 3.5 mm to RCA cable, compromise the SQ significantly?
- CT10 seems to come with a built-in Tidal app and MQA capability. But to get a Tidal account, I am assuming I will still have to use a foreign VPN. Would that be very complicated on the CT10 as compared to smarphones / computers?
- Would the CT10 be able to satisfactorily drive entry level planar magnetic headphones like Hifiman HE4XX or Deva?
Thanks!
