I wouldn't object to EISA's choice if iFi had finally fixed the NEO's fundamental flaws. The recent firmware update seems to have improved the problems I had with the unit, but strangely enough only partially (se previous post from a couple of months back). Over UPnP/DLNA the Neo still doesn't always behave correctly when one track leads into another. Latest example; Frank Zappa's recent Zagreb/Ljubljana live album (downloaded in 24/96 from Qobuz). When Chunga's Revenge (very long track) leads into Terry's drum solo (separate track) there's a very annoying "pop". No problems playing the same tracks directly through USB from the mac or using my 10+ year old Moon MiND 180 streamer. Now, to me one of the very least things you can expect a modern streamer to do is handle gapless playback absolutely perfectly. The NEO (or ZEN for that matter) doesn't.
So, the NEO is out of the system again. Really hope they finally resolve this issue soon.
