Anxiously awaiting what PS will offer as a trade up from MKII to the PMG. Same with the BHK Pre !

My main goal is to play my large collection of SACD, and the SQ is already excellent from playing PST/Mk2 into D333. However, if adding a PMG512 will bring further improvements from playing SACDs, then I am done with SACD improvement too. MU2 is not going anywhere since it’s my Roon core and file s…
