I don't know about the AI blunting micro dynamics because the increase in transparency was immediately apparent when I switched to the 845se. My sense so far is that it highlights deficiencies in other parts of the chain. If the AI was a limiting factor either the improvement would not have been as audible, or I would have heard other deficiencies. I have only listened to vinyl, and some net radio (as background to warm up the amp). I have not seriously listened to digital files streamed from my network server.
All that said, I recently found a great deal on a ARC SP10 preamp, and I am looking for an attractively priced AI M3B, which I understand to be much better than previous AI preamps.
Thanks for the comments.
