Ops … did not see your question.
Background, I went from a Parasound 2205 to MCA525 and the STR to drive the front two Kefs. Definitely greater clarity and no issue that can hear or comment about.
I have no idea if they are going to do a refresh ... Had mine a few months paired with a 525 MCA Gen2, sounds great to me.
I am only using my old Lexican with RCA, but will change to balanced AVM at somepoint.
I wish to replace my Lexicon MC4, but can't bring myself to buying one, even at a knocked down price from an authorised dealer ..

I am not sure if this has already been posted ... a deep discussion on switches, unfortunately they did not have an Etherregen to hand, just other more expensive switches.
Mine is the living room, so my wife would go nuts with anything she does not desire one the walls!
She went nuts over the Kefs, but that was 20 years ago and she has calmed down now, LOL :)
Many thanks, I think you hit the nail on the head with 'will I like' .. but based on what you describe provides the reassurance I am not about to make a big mistake and end up 'down grading' for more cost.
Thanks
Arrh, I see.
I plan to keep the SOTM setup and feed the DAC from that.
With regard to 'Good enough' I am after clarity in sound, like I have now with the Mytek, which I like ... I would be selling this, to pay towards the STR Preamp.
I guess what I should consider if the STR can be a Roon...
Would anybody have an experience of the following ...
For setup reasons I am thinking replacing my MyTek Broklyn DAC+ with an Anthem STR preamp(I am after HT bypass),
Would the Anthem STR Preamp's DAC be as good or even better than the MyTek?
Many thanks
