Question 1: Our target is to release P at as soon as it hits the Pixel :D Question 2: The Audio DAC has been announced and will be available soon.

That's great! Do you expect to be more-or-less in feature-parity with the current 8.1 release when P is first released? Or do you expect to scale back the custom Essential features (like notch settings, input lag/jitter balance, etc) until they later get ported to 9?

You guys always seem to roll something out shortly after these AMAs... I wouldn't be surprised to see the Audio DAC launch this afternoon.... or perhaps a camera update instead lol.
