If you don't need Bluetooth and a battery, this is a very good product. I use it with the line output for speakers and the front HP output for headphones (Sennheiser HD 599). When I want to move it around the house, I power it with a power bank (it draws about 4 W). For those who don't have a CD reader/writer in their computer, it can rip CDs to WAV (just note that it only supports flash drives up to 32 GB formatted as FAT32—if you have a larger one, you can create a partition with these specifications). Its dimensions are ideal, and seeing the disc spin is part of the magic; however, the transparent surface is plastic, not glass, so be careful when cleaning it if you don't want it to become cloudy from scratches. The device is metal, except for the bottom. Also, the volume control on the left is only for adjusting the volume when you connect headphones. When the output is connected to speakers, the volume is adjusted on the speakers—if they're active—or the amplifier—if they're passive. However, with the remote control you can do everything else, such as play/pause, skip, stop, and select a specific song. Finally, anyone who buys it should definitely install the firmware update released by Fosi Audio (https://support.fosiaudio.com/products/merak), as it fixes the issue where it cuts off the first 1–2 seconds whenever you skip to the next track. I hope this was helpful. You can also see what it looks like in various YouTube videos. Nevertheless, I tried to emphasize what I thought was important but isn't covered by most “reviews,” which mainly consist of paid promotions for the product.
