Meitner i upgrades

New i upgrades are available for Meitner DACs. It’s an extensive upgrade requiring a trip back to the factory in Calgary, Ontario and dealers are facilitating the process. I should be getting a return authorization number soon to send in my MA3. Cost for the MA3 upgrade is $3500. I believe it will be a noticeable improvement for a not outrageous cost (by hi-end audio standards). Details are on the Meitner website.

I use it with a Ypsilon Phaethon integrated amp

I use it as a streamer/pre/dac into a pair of AGD Duets. By the way, some folks at What’s Best report that the streamer is very good and was also upgraded as part of the i package.

The upgrade means exchange to a new unit or just parts upgrade?

It requires a return authorization from Meitner and shipment back to the factory. As previously noted, it’s a comprehensive parts upgrade:

"Next generation 16xDSD MDAC2™ DAC paired with the updated MDAT2™ DSP
Latest generation VControl™ volume system from the EMM Labs DV2i
Supports DSD128/2xDSD, DXD, and MQA®
New advanced network streamer for seamless music streaming integration."

The new streamer now supports DSD 128. I am about to ship mine to Meitner for the upgrade. Do those who have had the upgrade performed have any new impressions to share?
