Quick verdict
A high-res audiophile streamer/pre-amp that Home Assistant controls fully over the LAN via UPnP push, with zero cloud account needed for control. Control, state, volume and grouping all happen on the local network through UPnP/HTTP with no cloud dependency. Just note: Streaming-service playback still needs internet for the content.
