I just got an email advertising a new model from Burson. It is called the Play.
https://www.bursonaudio.com/products/play/
It looks interesting. Designed to fit into a 5.25" bay in a computer. Amp/Dac/Preamp combo.
What it telling for those here hoping to get the option of upgrading the Sabre DAC in the V2+, the new unit is still using the 9018 chip. I think, that if they had any plans for the near term to go to a newer version of the Sabre chip, they would have made that move for their new product. We shall see, but I personally now believe that any upgrade option will be a long time coming.
I am not real concerned about this, as my V2+ does a fine job just as it is right now! Given the correct driver setup, it also plays any music file that I need or want it to.
