Hey John: Thanks for that. Just for fun I went back to read your review of the M1 in Feb 2012. The (obvious to me) consideration
would be to pair the M1 with the M28s, sans a preamp. Now that the M1 has a USB port, would you be willing to venture a guess that
a USB connection would / would not improve the SQ or, make no difference?
thx
