Don't know. Is not easy to compare, because of the different hardware extensions. Need to remove them first.

Although jkeny did improve one substantially with battery supply
Didn't try jkeny's improvements, but I've found only small differences in sound quality between Haswell NUC and Ivy Bridge Mini-ITX (HW unoptimized) when OS is optimized on both systems. But it's quite different when it comes to HW improvements on Mini-ITX system.

yes agree
most of its to do with the ability to add hardware modifications rather than oob performance
is your m-itx built on a pico-psu system?
sd card player, modded soekris dac, class a lifepo4 amp or gb class a/b amp, diy open baffle speakers based on project audio mundorf trio 10's
uploaded v9 avx (renamed avx2 to avx as that's more accurate), spotted a mistake which mean't the SQ wasn't optimal, shall change the other versions later. Hopefully people will agree it's an improvement.
Apologies for those that thought v7 was good, you'll just have to listen to your record collection again.

Mistaken or not, I like it the best V7. V7b was to soft.
Tony, if this makes you feel better, neither I can play the 100000! I guess that we are on the same side of the fence! Is it grass greener on the other side?! ;-)
