New Audio Note M2 Preamp

I bought a DAC 2.1x Balanced 2 months ago and I'd be interested in this as well. Their website doesn't provide any significant info.

That M2 balanced looks a lot cheaper than the M3.
Looks also a bit empty inside too.
No balanced input , the name "balanced" comes from an XLR balanced output ( what's the use of it without any balanced circuit/input? )
Made in canada and with canadian transformers (no AN UK components inside).
They should therefore sound like the zero series rather than like the higher end M3/5/6... level 3 series.
Are you happy with your DAC2.1x ?

jimbo,
Thanks for the info. I was all set to get the AN M2 about a month ago but found out it didn't have HT pass-thru. My dealer recommended the VAC Standard Pre LE. I've had it only for a few days. The "pace" is a little slower(tubes?)than I'm used to but extension and detail is superior to the preamp section of my Lex-no surprise. I can trade it in for a Pass X2.5 if i'm not happy in a few weeks. I also have to get used to not having a display(a product of being a HT/SS guy). Remote fuctions are also quite limited.

I'm VERY happy with my DAC. One of my best purchases.
