It seems to me that most people here complain more about the lack of this and that. It is clear that Denafrips focused on sound quality. I know that I speak for myself but I'm actually happy with it as it is. Although I currently use a SOtM SMS-200 ultra neo, I'll be happy to replace the USB connection with AES/EBU.
I had an Auralic Aries G2 here for 3 weeks and to me, that also sounded better through its AES/EBU output than USB.
I also tried its wifi which again was clearly subpar in sound quality to ethernet (with an Uptone Etherregen switch). And again, tried Tidal Connect compared to Roon Ready (and Tidal in Roon). Roon was clearly superior to Tidal Connect. The same experience on a Lumin U1 mini which I borrowed earlier.
In fact, I'm quite happy that I will not have to pay for anything that I won't use anyway, such as a display, a remote controller, DAC inside, Spotify, or any other "connect" wifi, etc. I guess people who want those should look elsewhere but it's important to bear in mind that nothing comes free. All those I listed cost some (or more than some) money and a unit that has all those and costs as much as the Arce, will most likely have compromised sound quality compared to the Arce.
