Ah, okay. Well I don't actually own any hi res source material so the former advantage means nothing to me. I'm intrigued by second point though, as that will presumably apply to my large CD collection which is ripped into my Sooloos system? A non-technical explanation of this new upsampling process and its potential advantages would be much appreciated, if anyone would care to oblige?

Perhaps I was putting too much emphasis on this being marketed as the "MQA 818v3"...?
