The AC12 retails for �400 inc VAT

New card costs:

ID40 Sooloos Card - �1,000
ID26 Digital Input Card - �550
OA08 Analogue Output Card (unbalanced) - �750
OA18 Analogue Output Card (balanced) - �750

Hmmm....I had hoped that trading in my 861 with two balanced output boards would have been retuned with a v6 with 2 balanced output boards....if not, thats another �1500 right there....so, �6500 upgrade, �1500 HD621, �1500 2*0A18......ouch

I just dont think its personally worth it. M's competitors have in terms of audio fidelity done a lot of catching up in the last 10 years and given the frustrations Ive felt with 'M' over the last few years (the prolonged delays with HDMI solutions etc), I just dont think I want to invest in them any longer.
