Please let us know your impressions when you get the upgrade done, I too am waiting on this, and it needs to be significantly better (although that can be subjective, of course) on Red Book material and standard Hi-Def to warrant an upgrade at this point, with MQA still extremely thin on the ground and of an uncertain future.

One other possible reason, though, to upgrade is native DSD ability? Can this be utilised through Sooloos though (can DSD be stored on a Media Core?) or is a computer front end required separately, through the USB input?
