It figures you Brits not only get better deals on many of the UK/European based speaker brands, but also ELAC. Another option I looked at was Bluesound Node, but it's even more expensive. So it's nice to have something that just works. That also happened with my Raspberry Pi gear.

I obviously play my Bandcamp downloads with all my other FLAC files via Roon, like I said, 'I have access to all the files via Roon, but it’s fun to browse my recent purchases.' My main issue with the Connect was performance - both would completely disappear from the network for days at a time, even though my wifi signal is good, and other devices work fine. I don't remember seeing the Bandcamp option in the S1 app, oh well. Have discovered that touch screens and music players don't mix.

I picked one with a headphone jack thinking it could double as my portable music player. I haven't even had a cell phone for the past 8 or 9 months. Just got a smartphone for the first time. I had forgotten how much I love CD's and that changed everything. But I never realized how bad it was until my ipod broke a couple of summers ago and the only portable player I had was a discman from like 1989 that my cousin loaned me, a real chunky one that skips if you so much as breathe on it a little funny and kills a pair off AA batteries about every 10 minutes. I'd came to associate music with that kind of ear fatigue and didn't want to even bother listening to music much anymore. I was happy with mp3's for a really long time even though they gave me a headache. not on everything, not even on 50% of stuff, not necessarily as an a/b thing but it absolutely makes listening to something more work for me and wears my ears out over time. Just putting in my perennial, idiosyncratic but deeply held 'i can tell the difference' note here. I got that and a live Neville Brothers 2CD and a Augustus Pablo CD that have been in there and played a bunch. I got couple USB drives in my pickup usally alternating between one with Motorheads discography and another one that has everything I got by the Melvins and the Jesus Lizard. I'm a freak though, I got a couple books of CDRs at work and one in my car with a box of CDs.

Kinda like the old radio thing where sometimes old 60s stereo recordings would come out wacky losing some of the recording because of how it was panned out. I was kind of digging on some rip of the Doors put up by this guy in Spain and he had EQ'ed it out and the bass was real present not like the actual recording at all - but it was kinda interesting hearing it that up front. It kind of puts a bit of mix tape/FM radio gunk with occasional weird EQ changes. I kinda dig the funky production on some uploads and listen to LP rips all the time on YT.

Getting both a tv soundbar, a new cell phone (first in like 6 years) and one of those inexpensive bluetooth little speakers has got me using it, but I use it more like a radio to listen to stuff where I usually never listened to music before. I pretty much look at streaming like radio.
