I'm potentially in the market for this upgrade but I'm a bit confused.

Will there currently be any benefit to most of my collection (red book CD files on Sooloos)? Is it worth investing in the hope MQA files will be available any time soon - what is the status of that? I had expected 2-channel Room Correction, which would have been a big upgrade incentive by itself, but it seems that has now vanished from the spec? Do we know yet how this will behave with legacy DSPs and MQA or higher sample rate material?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm struggling to get my head around this one.

Separately, I was wondering if, given the new DSP card, etc., whether the v3 would now be sort of the ultimate ADC for analogue sources. Is there an option for balanced analogue inputs, or a phono input card, or anything like that?

Cheers.
