How do we go about this? Does anyone here still have a sympathetic ear at M?

Anecdotally speaking, it seems the loyal fan base here is getting more and more restless of late. The hard core has already moved on to Roon. Which is fine if you consider M's strategy to produce high quality DACs, endpoints and speakers to work with both Sooloos and Roon. But now I detect increasing doubts and questions about even the M hardware, including by those whose knowledge, experience, history and -investment- in M products is substantial. I'm a mere newbie but I do share these sentiments.

The usual response is: buy and enjoy what's available now, but I'm not sure the experts here truly know what's available now. I've been considering SE DSPs for a while but maybe I should stick with an analog backend and save up for the Ultra? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
