Hi Sascha,

I've never owned a 568, but I have owned a Director and the audio quality is superb. At £250 new on Amazon, it's an audiophile bargain.

Be aware that Meridian is almost certain to release an updated DAC with MQA decoding. It's not impossible that the Director could receive a firmware update to enable MQA, but I think that this is probably a long shot.

What are you using post-DAC to switch the audio between speakers and headphones?
