AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?

Do you have any comments on the sound of a new AA Capitole?
I suppose some units are already well broken-in(?).

This would be good news, as I heard that some folks had issues when adding a pre inline due to voltage overlay. I guess finding a sweetspot with a pre-amp is key. One thing I have not heard much on is its capability as an active DAC with its inputs. Inserting a 96khz DVD player and playing 96/24 DVD music ??? .. I would love to hear impressions !! all the best...Matt

Using its UNITY GAIN (SSP mode) I am getting the MKII but need to have it go via the ML380S. Its been recommended that I use SSP again. Will this degrade the sound ? I always was under the impression that the SSP was a pass through .. but seing the words I just typed ( Unity Gain) that maybe is a hint that there is voltage uplift ?? any suggestions ? thanks Matt
