I agree. Streaming is for convenience.

Just a few questions.
1. How does it compare sound wise to the BDP-1?
2. How many USB connectors does it have for external disk drives?
3. Are the USB drives capable of supplying power to external disk drives?
4. Does it do DSD and if so up to what sampling rate, DSD-128?
5. Is it Roon compatible?
6. What 3rd party iPad controller software is it compatible with?

That'll do for the moment

Thanks.
Regarding 3. How much current can be supplied through each connector (amperage???)
Regarding 4. Answer to 3. doesn't really matter as no DSD support makes this product a dead end and non-starter as far as I'm concerned, sorry.
Melco is rapidly becoming the standard to be judged against.
Rather surprised it doesn't support Twonky either.
