nap 100 DR?

Why doesn't get the nap100 a DR upgrade?

Probably for the same reasons as the NAP200 + it doesn't have power supply for external pre-amp.
p.s. for clarity :
The NAP 200
The NAP 200 does not use the new NA009 transistors as it would not benefit from the extra current handling and other advantages they offer to higher performance power amplifiers. The NAP 200 also does not use regulated rails for the power amplifier section. It does however provide power to the attached preamplifier. This power supply is now upgraded to a DR module identical that can be found in the Hi-Cap power supply. Now the preamplifier will enjoy the low noise benefits without using an external DR power supply.
the DR upgrade for the NAP 200 is to power the preamp. Since the 100 cannot power a preamp there is no DR upgrade.
However the new NAP 200 DR has other improvements in components and layout, and I wonder if the newer amps like NAP 100 already have these?
Or will they get them? Why keep this good stuff only for NAP 200 DR and above.
I imagine it's because neither the 100 nor 200 are regulated in the first place, therefore they cannot be discrete regulated.

The 200DR is discretely regulated.

The circuit for the pre-amp power supply is; not the power output to the speakers.
