FWIW, I've been in this passionate pursuit for over 40 years (probably like many of you). I've owned stats, cones'n'domes, and OB. As I've aged I've been trying to simplify. Ironic that now with a DAC (Okto Research) driving Psvane 845 monos, with the M3's, the best sound I've had. Typically, both me and my audio acquaintances replace a component and almost immediately begin critiquing and finding fault. I just haven't been able to locate fault with the M3's. If I do I can't be sure it's not my set-up or room treatment. Like many who have indicated perhaps the M3's are end-of-game speaks, I concur. I've learned too many times over the years not to sell a component that brings satisfaction just because something new... Too many good ears saying the same thing - M3's ain't going nowhere.
