The U216 just adds some microprocessor cores and cost (think going from an i3 to an i5 in a PC) which are only of any use if you need more processing power. MQA decoding is one reason you might need more processing power, and Matrix moved up to the U216 when they added MQA. Doing signal processing for a headphone crossfeed mode might be another.

I don't think a NOS mode is possible with the ESS DAC chips, but I could be wrong.

All work has been delayed due to the coronavirus and we will produce new products on the premise of ensuring safety. At present, there is no accurate start time node.
God bless the beautiful world!
And Ben.....God Bless you for being who you you are!

In EU, the shipment is the same: € 57.88. Then Amazon.de is the cheaper -> € 503.88

€ 499 + € 11 = € 510

Sorry if I had missed this recently, but will the knob be able to adjust DAC output volume?

The question is how many steps. 40 or... 70 steps... in case the poweramp has about or more than 100 watts (thinking in DIY PURIFI 1ET400A).
