No DSD is a bit of bummer too…even in modes without dsp/dirac.

So . . . I guess that's true? . . . but is the NAD M66 discoverable to roon as the M66 with its graphic?
No not true: that is my issue
the M66 is NOT ROON ready
it is discoverable for Airplay
I wonder if they will make a real usb input card ( MDC2) that is not limited like the current one.

If I understand correctly, the M66 has not yet been officially released. The BluOS version should still have 3 digits at the end. Didn't the dealer point this out? Why have devices already been handed over to the end user?
The updates should be available soon and I would keep the device.

Sorry to hear you're thinking of returning it. Mine just arrived yesterday so still getting familiar with controls/functionality. One thing I don't understand is the magnetic feet. I'm guessing there's some sort of reason for this but seems stupid. At any rate, going to test it out and see what kind of issues I run into.
What was it that made you opt for the Nova in the end? Do you know if the Nova will get Waveforming?
I don't use the magnetic feet either!
looking forward to hearing your comments: maybe together we can resolve some issues....
Definitely! My initial plan is to get through the Dirac setup/calibration and then explore things from there. Happy to collaborate going forward though.

i get the impression that trinnov room correction might be advantageous. i contacted Trinnnov with a ton of questions and got really good customer service.
the nova gives me everything I need . i will add my own streamer . i found a good deal . trinnov usually has the same software across platforms , so I assume that if waveforming becomes available it will be for the nova also . but the bass management seems very advanced already . i am happy not to have a screen . the nova seems to be a solid unit used by many people in studios . the nad appears to me like a shiny toy that promises too much and I am not willing to wait and be disappointed when it does not deliver . I need to get off the complaint train and listen with equipment that works .

From my point of view, waveforming is a generation behind. The M66 should also get DLART this year. That will also be unbeatable with 2.0 setups. Waveforming doesn't work here and DLART is preferable in smaller 2.x setups in the living room!
