hrt music streamer II & hrt music streamer II+ comparison

Hi Guys,
did anyone of you had a chance to actually compare the hrt music streamer II and hrt music streamer II+? The +-model costs more than twice than the basic model. I was not able to find any information on actual difference in the sound of both DACs. What Hifi even gave the non-+ version five stars.
Best, lr

^^^WHS, it's a worthwhile step-up if you think you'll use the DAC a lot, ie if you think you'll end up making it your primary source. If it's a 'play it occasionally' kind of thing, maybe save your money and just buy the II. The difference in price sure buys a lot of beer, which as I'm sure we all agree, has its own SQ enhancing properties

If you like the HRT sound - which I love - and if either your equipment is audiophile quality
or if you soon will upgrade to that quality then the II+ is a big step up from the II; in my
system the II sounded OK but a little harsh on the upper mids/highs while the II+ is just smooth and clean, hi resolution and
overall fantastic! ___I fully agree with Hi Fi+ review:
