It seems like they are focusing on the 5 series and then the ref series. The 7 isn't getting upgrades that I know of, so I would doubt the 9 would either. The Codex is as good as the 9 in a few ways and not quite in others, but it's so much less and hits a different audience. That said, the Codex gives you all of those inputs and a balanced headphone amp that is very good.
I"ll ask Alex to see if he's willing to share anything on Saturday at the QX5 event at Audio Connections in NJ.
