Yes. But i think the next step will be the NHB-108 mkii.
I think that the first piece they should upgrade is the NH18NS preamplifier. IMHO it is currently limiting the performance of top DACs in a DarzZeel system.
Any info on pricing / specs ?
The first part of your quote is correct, as the next one will be the 18NS mk2. I don't think it's limiting, and I've compared it to current state of the art preamps (Constellation and Soulution), and the almost 10 year old 18NS more than held its own.
The CTH-8550 will likely not be updated any time soon, as it has Herve's current amplifier design (newer than the 108), so it'll likely keep its price nicely.

I saw them working on that prototype this Summer. I should have heard the prototype Dac?Integrated, but timing did not work out well on that. I will likely hear it sometime after Vegas, if Herve's schedule can fit in the time...Yes. Very impressive
