NAD C 638 - Streaming Preamp / DAC looks pretty amazing!

[rockman85]

It's a an MQA enabled streamer operated by the BlueOS software with Dirac room compensation. It also functions as a DAC and a Preamp with a built in phono stage. It checks every single box on my list of desired features. I am surprised I only just heard about it (truly accidentally from a youtube comment). Has anyone had any experience with this thing? This in combination with the Emotiva DR-2 could very well be my next upgrade path since Emotiva apparently has no interest in having a flagship DAC anymore.

I have been following this nad streamer/preamp on avs forum.  I believe Dirac is up and running.  I loved my model 1700 nad analog preamp/tuner and am considering this Roon ready streamer for another zone via Roon WiFi, etc.
