Just wanted to let you know that the Rivo Plus arrived in pristine condition. Once I saw the box at my front door a couple of days ago I dropped what I was doing and hooked it up to my headphone system (Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC to the ZMF Aegis Tube Amp connected to the ZMF Bokeh headphones.) After watching several glowing reviews for your product, I just couldn't wait to see if it made that much difference. Marco, it does and I am gobsmacked at the dynamics, expanded sound stage, the clarity and the timbre - all is superb! Marco please extend my thanks and appreciation to the outstanding team at Volumio - you guys rock!

The Rivo+ certainly helped to create an even better sound via my DAC. I am very pleased with this purchase. The only slight negative was as I inserted the Network LAN cable .....unfortunately a small section of the network connection plastic housing broke away making the connection not as solid/stable as I would like. Everything still works however. Maybe a more robust NET connection would be a further plus!

I bought the Rivo+ together with the Lineo5, very good investment! Installation was dead simple,, products look very good. Communication with Volumio support was also very good. My previous Volumio setup (X86 with linear PSU) was very good but this Rivo+ with Lineo immediately gave a very good improvement. Clarity and noise level much better. Also very handy that the Rivo+ has a stand-by so resume later works very good. My next purchase will be the Preciso, as soon as the remote is deliverable I will buy the Preciso. As I have active speakers I need the remote for volume.

Installation was a breeze, very simple. The Lineo was also connected. My previous setup, X86 with didicated lineair power supply was very good but the Rivo+ immediately won from the very first note. Clarity and richness very good. This is a good investment! I am very happy.

Dear Scott, We’re truly sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced, and we’d like to clarify what happened. From the beginning, we were actively tracking your shipment and working daily with FedEx. Unfortunately, due to new U.S. customs regulations, some required import forms were not completed, which caused delays. Despite this, we followed up every day with FedEx to resolve the issue. Once you reported the issue, we processed your return and issued a full refund, as we always aim to stand behind our customers even in complex situations. We genuinely regret that this experience didn’t reflect our usual service standard and we hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. Best regards, Marco – Volumio Support Team
