Rookie question perhaps, but why is this streamer unit absolutely massive when the same functionality and more is packed into a mobile phone? For amplification, I get the need for large enough boxes to manage heat and large coils, but in a streamer? Confused.

You are more likely to get a reply if you ask this question in the Streaming section of the forum.

Good question... By the looks of it, about 40% of the case are empty. However, it still seems to have more "contents" that e.g. a Bluesound Node - which does the exact same thing - could possibly contain, given its size.

The product is likely sized the way to line up with other products in the CX line.
