I must be dense. I still don't understand the concept of paying a huge amount for a piece of gear that you find unsatisfactory OOTB but you are hoping that the next version of the OS will "blow your socks off", especially given the recent update history of it's predecessor, the SD5. DonM seems to be the only one that bought it for the way it sounds RIGHT NOW and is happily (and successfully) using it as the main board in his performance rig. Everyone else (mostly) seems to have bought it for what it MIGHT SOMEDAY be. Like I said, I'm probably just dense.
