Default My new MA9000
This beast arrived this morning, and oh my, does it sound good. I sense no loss of warmth, but a slight gain in bass and overall clarity/detail over my previous Primaluna HP. I do miss the ability to directly select an input rather than scrolling through them, but that is a minor niggle.

Toccata-

Nice system! Once you get the feel of that beast, you can turn off inputs you are not using to simplify selection.

Listen in Good Health!

Congrats on the new arrival. You're remote has direct access input selections. It just takes a bit of time to learn them.
