Did a $79 Behringer mastering interface just outperform the iFi DAC2?

Would love something in this price range that would be well built (edited)  and allow me to use the software upsampling (to DSD) I like.

+1  

Not sure that will happen with the majority of the Pro Industry who really doesn't think DSD is any advantage.

I wonder how that opinion could be so widespread among content producers. 

In all fairness, if you listen to PCM done right, it's pretty amazing.  Sadly, most of it isn't so it all starts at the beginning of the chain and it's hard to polish a turd.

The 404HD also has external power option.

I just ordered one today to try!  While it can't do DSD it should still be very interesting.
