Late reply but using M12/M22 combo, works great with my Sopra 3's. Love having my source and pre together (BlueOS card) as all my listening is steaming via Tidal. I feel this keeps the signal extremely clean, I have an absolutely silent noise floor. I also installed the HDMI card and use it to control the switching and audio through 3 video HDMI sources to my TV, and that works well. Although I am curious what the 452 would do paired with the M12 . When I demoed them on the 452 and a Mc C47 Pre I believe, it sounded a bit too relaxed for me. I also don't think the best source was used in that setup. But maybe paired with my M12....
