I am critical of audio publications that spend far too much page count reviewing ridiculously expensive hardware, so it's only fair to say thank you when S&V reviews equipment in this price range.

Emotiva needs to build a Streamer with MQA and a switchable Tube section.. They would breakthrough with a product like this..
