How is the interface? I found the previous version a bit frustrating to use. For a product in this price range and am not willing to give up usability, I demand both usability AND great sound!

@rmoody Yep, the UI gets a bit frustrating when it comes to large sets of music in one folder. It doesn't have a "sort by" option, which is a bummer to me. There are functions where you could add playlists or see in groups of album/artists, but all tracks are listed only in alphabetical order if you enter folders. Though this is something that could be easily resolved by software updates, so let's see how that goes.

Boi, Rather Sir, if I were to add a, say Meizu SP as a digital source, is there a preamp, input to suit such an option?

I am last on loaner list. Where were you?
Who got it from you?

succinctly defined review, kudos, Sir
