    Nice. Definitely interested in reading some impressions and if possible some comparisons against the Yggdrasil and the Wavelight. Thanks.

    Going to hard to be a huge sonics improvement over the PI for the MSRP.

    @YMO I think he is talking about the M3 DAC
    (with the Analog Devices AD1955 chip, same as in the Convert 2 and 851N/851D) not the streamer.

    ^ Yes, M3 DAC. However, the M3 I have does have the streaming module built in (with an ethernet port). Edited status to clarify.

    No formal impressions yet as it's too soon but so far (1hr) what I read elsewhere is true - about on par with Yggdrasil and Wavelight.

    In terms of absolute performance (ignoring R2R vs DS, OS vs NOS, individual preferences, etc.) - I would say Yggdrasil < M3 < Wavelight. Talking small or tiny overall improvements here though. Synergy and preferences >> any overall increases I have heard here. Also dollar value, etc.
