Analog or Digital and why?
I’ll take issue with one thing the OP said-  “A modest system can be an easy 20 grand”a modest vinyl front end is far less than $20,000. I’d argue that a pretty credible vinyl front end can be put together for $2,000

Show of hands- done the flash update?

The board comes with complete instructions, and there’s no note asking to return the flash board takes longer to unscrew the 10 screws, remove the lid, reset the lid and reinstall the 10 screws than it takes to do the update itself

The socket is inside the dac. It’s on the MDx board itself. Top cover must come off. Detailed instructions will accompany the flash board board being provided by Bricasti. Once the flash update is done the flash board is removed.
