I"ll ask Alex to see if he's willing to share anything on Saturday at the QX5 event at Audio Connections in NJ.

Yes, please do and report back when you can. I love the QB-9 and would like to use it for the foreseeable future. It's already a terrific DAC, but this area of audio technology is continuing to evolve fast.
