The 9008 is an upsampling chip right out of the box; it's non-defeatable ... it's part of the way it works so well.
The newer chips do measure better and have a few more EQ functions (that we'd not use anyway). We'll probably roll the new parts in somewhere along the line, but the difference between nearly-perfect and perfecter isn't much.
I don't know of many reviews yet ... did see one somewhere though. It's basically like all our stuff: really good reproduction is just a straight pipe, and it usually takes a little while to grow on people.
Like people kinda poo-pooed the looks of our amps until they got to live with them for a while and then they really like it cuz it's friendly and comfortable. Shouting gets attention, but it's bothersome after a while.
