I'd love to have a chance to review this. Based in Sydney, Australia.
Heaphones: Sennheisser HD6XX; Hifiman HE4XX; Band and Olofson H6; Bowers and Wilkins PX; Hifiman RE600
Amps: Schiit Lyr 2; FiiO A5
Sources: iMac/Roon; Topping D30; iMod 5g; FiiO BTR3 (bought yesterday!)

I've done many reviews on head-fi since joining in 2005. Most recently the Sennheisser HD660 on the Aust/NZ review tour.

Review comparisons I'd like to do:
> M9 as USB DAC v Topping D30
> M9 powering B&WPX via BT using APTX HD
> M9 powering the HD6XX and HE4XX wired and M9>A5 powering those two
> M9 paired with the BTR3 powering the B&O H6 using LDAC
