I am particularly interested to read some reviews as digital controller for a 2ch. Meridian DSP set up vs. the v2 version. Reading the datasheet makes me think this is particularly a pre-amp upgrade.

Does this upgrade contribute to an even better sound quality of Sooloos FLAC audio files (or Tidal streaming) via ID41?

If anyone knows, what exactly is the MQA function in the v3 when used as controller for DSP's. The datasheet speaks about rendering for analogue, but does it also decodes for non-SE DSP's. Or are non SE DSP plain worthless for true MQA.

I look forward to reviews and write ups of a v3 plus DSP's and some fuctionality explanations as I am not sure what this upgrade would do for me in my set up. Personally not fussed about DSD DoP but would be nice to hear some comments of such files via Sooloos vs PCM both over ID41.
