Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the digital device. Some mention that the sound is pretty good, high-end sound without the expense. It rocks the speakers, is fine for ambient or casual listening, and is not going to blow any windows out. However, others say that the volume is not as loud as they would like, the TV audio is a little more complicated, and the audio stream will hit some sort of glitch in the digital audio encoding.

Customers have mixed opinions about the performance of the digital device. Some mention that it works great, plays well, and connects to wired speakers and subwoofers. They also say that it's great for powering and controlling outdoor speakers. However, others say that they could never get that working reliably, the app tells them that it only works when music is playing, and the Alexa app is near useless.

Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the digital device. Some mention that it automatically detects everything they need to connect, it has plenty of in/out connection options, and easy WiFi connectivity for the amp. However, others say that the Bose Soundtouch app is buggy, loses connections to speakers, and the speaker connection terminals are terrible. It's also not a true Spotify Connect device and connects then briefly disconnects.

"...Which is why I bought this amplifier. But then the audio won't sync like its supposed to. So that doesn't work either...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the value of the digital device. Some mention that it's a fantastic value and adds to an Alexa-Wired Home, while others say that it is pricey and under powered for the price.

Customers are mixed about the power of the digital device. Some mention it has great power and sound clarity, enough power to drive patio speakers, and adequate power for small systems. However, others say that they were not impressed with the power, and that the amp is not very powerful.
"...Easy to use. Great sound. Enough power to drive patio speakers. Voice control. Multi zone...." Read more
"...its app, but this is so much easier with voice control, and more powerful and louder too. Overall and for the price very pleased and would recommend...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the volume control of the digital device. For example, they mention that it's difficult to control the volume via the Alexa app, the subwoofer volume is not controlled, and the volume levels change randomly. Some say that the app crashes when they try to adjust the sound settings and that the volume controls are a bit laggy.
"...that analog in would yield an A-D-A problem since the volume control appears to be digital...." Read more
"...Only complaints, as others have noted is the volume control. Only Alexa streaming gets digital control...." Read more
"...1. No Alexa automation control of volume knob = no control of subwoofer volume...." Read more

I bought the Echo Amplifier as a replacement, and I'm pleasantly surprised. The system works great with my Audioengine set up (P4 speakers and S8 subwoofer), subwoofer can connect either through line in or LFE without any issues at all.
The sound quality is fine. It is a bit worse than the sonos amp (judging only by the bookshelf speakers since I couldn't connect my subwoofer). It has half of the power as the Sonos amp at 65w per channel compared to the ridiculous 120w from the Sonos. Personally this is not a problem for me since at 40% I have enough power to fill the living room during a house party. More power would be nice, especially if running a 4.1 system like the Sonos support but its not a must have.
Connectivity is just so much better on the Echo Amp than the Sonos. I can easily use it for multiroom audio with any echo in the house, or just add a dot to integrate dump speakers. This is huge considering the Sonos does not support Echo multiroom unless you plugin an echo device through Line In (thus defeating the purpose of having superior audio quality).
Final thoughts: This is the perfect no frills amp. Easy to set up, integrates with everything, well priced, and sound quality is good enough for the price.
My set up: main living room with S8 subwoofer and two P4 speakers with a turn table connected. Echo dot in the kitchen and office (connected to two A2+ speakers), and first gen Echo speaker with battery as a mobile speaker. FireTV in the TV room. Everything can cast audio, the FireTV is the only thing that doesn't support multiroom audio.
UPDATE - I now use two. I can separately control zones easily using echos. I’ve tried multi zone before with other amps and while I could make it work nobody else in my family could. Nobody wanted a “fancy” amp.
This solved my problem completely. Easy to use. Great sound. Enough power to drive patio speakers. Voice control. Multi zone.
For those comparing this with cheap amps and connected echo dots… it’s just no comparison.

I was quite surprised when I connect all four speakers and at 50% volume, it was loud. I went up to 60% and didn't hear any distortion and didn't wanted to bother neighbors either. Out of the box, the sound is a little flat for my taste, though good thing is that you can change the EQ settings and apply a crossover. You can set this amp with other Alexa's for multi room too, you just need to be on the same network. Multi-room on Alexa actually works pretty good. Overall, I have used Bose SA5 for 5 years, and I think Echo Link amp + Alexa devices are decent replacement for the whole Bose SoundTouch multi room speaker line. I am already selling my sound touch and will actually sell my Bose SA5 too when I get it back.
Here are the Pros -
1) Price $299 vs $499.
2) Way better iPhone App. Amazon keeps updating the app too. Bose Soundtouch app is buggy, loses connections to speakers, had to restart the app few times, it works though experience is pretty poor.
3) You don't have to be on your home network to control the speakers.
4) EQ settings + crossover support in the app.
5) Has Line out for stereo, subwoofer and optical too in the back. I have connected my old Airport express which has Airplay support and line out. It works great. If you are not playing music from the Alexa app, it switch to RCA stereo automatically.
6) Decent Internet music services. The ones I care about Pandora, Amazon Music, Audible and Apple Music are all there.
7) Amazon's support is far superior than what I have experienced with Bose.
Cons -
1) I haven't seen ability to play music from NAS or DLNA. Personally, this is not a deal breaker for me since I rarely used this feature.
2) App itself is designed more for Internet Radio. You cannot browse your library on the app. So you can see all Radio channels from Pandora, Apple Music, Amazon Music. In order to play an album, you have to ask Alexa to play a song or album. Again, this is not a deal beaker though this is something I hope Amazon adds it in their Alexa App. I understand this was not needed for Alexa devices though for the amp which is powering speakers outside in the patio, it would be nice.
