Just a quick note to mention that my fully-modded Mk 1 just seems to get better and better..... Honestly, I fire up the system with the intention of listening to vinyl and after warming up on streaming files (Roon ROCK NUC, Allo DigiOne Pi) I am quite literally floored by the sound quality.
It is superb in all aspects, so much so that I really find it hard to fathom that the stock MK2 would even equal it. I'm really glad I got the mods done when I did! to quote GME109 from a previous post "It transformed a decent DAC into a total beast. The value proposition is off the charts. " I couldn't agree more.
I got tired of waiting for the AirLens and didn't make the beta cut, so I'm happy I didn't pull the trigger on one of those as well.
Thanks again @jk_richards
