Thanks for this.

So, the M33 Mkii is the vehicle for the newest MQA tech. While true MQA recordings are my preference, a DAC which can apply some of this to every recording would be extremely desirable. I am hoping they offer a DAC chip upgrade to the M66, which is otherwise a far superior 2-channel pre/pro that has been on my radar for a while.

Some of the marketing blurb for the M33 Mkii sounds very familiar…
