...for those who want DSD w/o having to abandon a previous purchase.
I missed RMAF this year. Wish I could have gone.

Let's play your game to see how absurd this point of view is.This an "overpriced" module in a nice case that allows you to decode 1 bit audio. Would you pay $1500 to be able to decode just 192 Khz????
You can buy many entirely capable full DACs for this price.
Fanboydom does really blind folks.

There are other dsd capable usb to I2S/spdif boxes that are much cheaper and probably just as good or even better.
More than likely true. Almost as strange as BADA's $1600 outboard USB "solution".
..in other words, there was no market for Mr Rankin to develop a new DAC with DSD capability because I can be fairly certain his customer base is pretty loyal and static.I also find in interesting that he called DoP way too complicated and klugey yet that is how I feel about an outboard box.

MSB Technology announced a new USB module for the Analog DAC that is Quad DSD. This is a more expensive upgrade from the standard USB module.The new module will support direct DSD ( ASIO ) playback in Windows; no DoP. The price is $1595. I also hope to get one of these for reviewing as well.
The upgrade path makes Gordon's DACs good investments.

But then there are ASIOs and ASIOs; it all depends just as there are DoPs and DoPs.
"..for those who want DSD w/o having to abandon a previous purchase."
Good point Abe. The modular design and easy updating adds value to a customer's purchase.
