Did not have that on my radar, thanks! Appears to quite new with not much info yet and most of the previous versions appear to be more based in Europe. The control app is part of my requirements or I'd stick with Oppo.
Because of the likelihood of Meridian's new MQA coming down the pipe I am a little hesitant about spending much more than a few $K at this point if new technologies are a foot. But if a player does have a digital out only the DAC will need to be replaced.
