The D1100 is an awesome sounding DAC and well worth the price

Long term? What's that?

I would go with what sounds best to your ears. If what sounds best doesn't support MQA, etc then you have to decide if you really want those formats over the sound. IMO, you must include the D1100 in your audition due to the McSynergy.

Yes, I must find a way to audition the D1100. What do you use for streaming?

Congrats. Would like to hear your thoughts of D1100 vs PS audio DAC when you have the new D1100 installed.
