Yes, I guess rooms make it.
Right now the main stereo (nothing exciting, b&w 602, rel sub, decent Yamaha amp and pidac streamer) is in the living room.
Which is 20sqm and has a big sofa, a ceiling high bookshelf filled with books and a thick rug.
But this has become my wife's office, so there is no music listening during daytime.
Will be exciting to move the stuff to my office/guest bedroom which is a bit small with 13sqm.Let's see if the pi ever manages to update volumio, or if I have to buy something more expensive.
So, streamer/amp combos, any suggestions?

It's interesting. In my old apartment, I couldn't hear a difference at all. The room wasn't great. Highly reflective and very, very big. But when I moved into my new apartment with a much smaller listening space and a higher concentration of soft furnishings it was immediately apparent. Like, immediately. Spotify sounded highly compressed and like I was listening to something I downloaded from Limewire in 2005.
And yeah @TheButchersDog as @ChasnotRobert says, I usually play an album and then just let it play it's Radio stuff until I can be bothered to choose something else to listen to.
