Do we know what this new DAC brings to the party.

From a functional perspective, appears to be a simplified 818v3, without the analogue inputs.

So what under the bonnet changes have been brought in to justify nearly doubling the price? I assume there's some genuine Meridian magic in there, but do we know what?

One a side note, I'm hoping that lot's of existing 818 owners will be upgrading to one, as I'll be looking for an 818v1 soon...
