Exactly... Most of the high-end T/Ts you see now need a room of their own to be housed in! It's completely unnecessary. I like T/Ts you can comfortably sit on top of your average equipment rack (or wall shelf).

Roon unfolding+upsampling MQA from Tidal, via the iPad via the USB (camera connection kit) into the Hugo and outputting damned fine music through the Focal Utopias!
Sipping a wee dram of Balvenie Double Wood doesn’t make things worse! []
