You don't have a home theater? Or do you mean something else?

I'm going to update mine to one with google assistant soon so it can easily play music with my google devices.

I have a noobish quesition about this Network Streamer and Integrated Amps. Which DAC will process the digital file that I am playing if I hook this up to my Integrated Amp (Cambridge AXR 100), will it be the streamer DAC or the integrated amplifier DAC?

These no longer make sense 90% of the time, economies of scale has made full surround sound receivers so cheap that these get killed on the spec sheet & price. You can literally walk into any Costco today, pay the same $350 and walk out with something that in stereo will wipe the floor with this (and on features like network play even more so).

If you really need it an inch shorter, I guess this can make sense? And of course if you never intend on hooking up a subwoofer to the thing (which is hard pass for me anyway).

It depends on the connection you use. An analog connection will make the player the DAC. A digital connection will make the amplifier the DAC

Oh no, another tech obsolescence thread/debate where those that have no use for a dedicated box slam the idea of others valuing such formfactor/connectivity or maybe just valuing a Denon interface to their older Denon receiver...

For those that have older Denon receivers they paid $1k+ and have no intentions of upgrading, this can be a slick option to stay in the Denon line while adding connectivity.

I agree the price is high and its benefits diminish if you use the digital-out and pass on the DAC duties to your receiver.

If your current receiver doesn't support USB/BT/wifi...this is a nice solution, but at a premium. Any smart bluray or other box could handle that as well, but maybe not in as nice a manner w/ as nice a user interface. If you have the $, go for it. If you're not into full-on home theater setup and prefer smaller techie gadgets...this ain't for you...never was.

I don't go on Sonos threads complaining why their speakers can't reproduce bass levels at sub 40hz...that'd be pointless.

Still new to the whole hi-fi game, but why do these "true" stereo receivers not have sub preouts? Are subwoofers against the thesis of hi-fi stereo audio?
