KDinsmore Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Sorry to everyone for posting this. I should have just looked at their tech page which spells it all out. I'm going to go check these out locally in a few weeks. I wonder how big the listening difference is?

kennyb123 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 More than just the difference in taps between the two DACs. Quoting Rob Watts: "There are a lot more differences apart from the PSU - on the DAC side, it has better noise shapers on the FPGA (better depth and detail resolution) very much more advanced reference circuitry (taken from Dave, giving a darker and more full bodied SQ). On the analog side we have the second order analogue noise shaper topology, which eliminates HF distortion, and allows no high frequency distortion at all once a load is attached."
