I aim to please. Lol   @navyachts few things to know… 1. All M3 DACs have MDx boards. Latest board includes processors for different color displays. Previous MDx versions had several firmware updates and Joe will tell you no sonic difference. B...

Congrats @ervikingo ! Let us know if it stands up to the hype. I feel confident you can improve upon topping though with several DACs. Just look at the list of DACs Amir didn’t like and throw a dart.

Well yes the M1SE with MDx board would be the way to go with a look on a M1S2 upgrade in a future. It’s a better option if the price is right.  as to M3, the latest MDx updates include components for a new color display and the corresponding firmw...

I see the issue with ABX blind testing
I think @botrytis is mixing up spirit competition where a panel of judges is used to taste and score a product with what takes place in a distillery, where only one person, a master distiller , is responsible for taste and consistency of the final... 
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
It’s exactly what I thought it would be. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised. It isn’t difficult to hear at all that the Room is inferior to Aurender processing. It took me all of 10 seconds of a well known track to know. Roon is a nice to hav...
