Guillaume,
Most important to me is what you think of the sound difference.
Beyond that I'd like to know anything technical that you can get out of them. For example:
- What's new in the Class-D card beyond increased thermal transfer area and being "brand new"? What are the improved specs.?
- How much less power does the unit use overall due to the improved amps?
- Is standby power reduced (are there lower-power modes)?
- Are there any other improvements to thermal performance such as improved ventilation?
- How was the Class-A card tweaked?
- What are the improvements to power input and filtering?
- Is the finish anodization or plating?
- Is the remote different in any way?
- Have they updated the DAC in any way or tweaked anything we haven't yet heard about?
- Are any of Manoet's mods now stock?
Also, since I know the answer to whether I have an extra €30k and so didn't order one, anything you can find out about trickle-down plans to the un-original models would be tantalizing.
Thanks, and enjoy!
