Part of what prompted me to finally pull the trigger was a belief that resale value would more or less hold if I found it was more machine than I needed or the cost/value proposition didn't sit well.
Neither of those happened. The improvements in sound that I was hoping for with the better DACs is something I can hear.
Even if someone offered me $2K for it, I wouldn't sell it.
