I did upgrade my W4S DAC2 to the DSDse back when the upgrade became available. There were 2 parts to the upgrade, a new board converts the USB to I2S, which makes the DSD files play through the DAC. The second part is the PSU upgrade, with a few flash parts, but more importantly the better regulators and inductors.
I found the level of resolution and fullness to be a full step up in that upgrade. I use this DAC in my office for 2 channel only listening, so I can't comment on multichannel sync issues. IIRC youtube was horribly delayed by the old version, but is much better now. I don't recall a delay currently, but I also changed from a MAC to an Alienware laptop too.
Considering the PSU upgrades for my current home Pre-Amp the W4S STP-SE.
