Hello,
I'm curious about this product. There are no reviews. Octavio is like a French copycat of Bluesound. They made a first splash with their Octavio Stream (200€), a streaming DAC with only one AUX input and no digital outputs. Octavio uses Octavio Virtuose for streaming. It looks intuitive. The reviews were very positive surprisingly.
Octavio just released the Octavio AMP for 700€. It's based on the TPA 3250 amplifier board. I'm kind of perplexed that a French "audiophile" brand chose to use such an affordable amplification solution found in sub 100€ Chinese amps.
If the implementation is smart (with added features/better components), would this streaming amp be worth the cost? Here's a link (specs below):

Note that the product page shows the Octavio Amp with some high-end Davis Acoustics Krypton 3 speakers (1000€/pair). So the amp should be decent, right?
