In Reply to: The "preamp" version also does DSD, through the XMOS chipset via USB. posted by orpheus on April 29, 2012 at 23:18:30:
As far as I know, there are only reasons to get the Mastering version rather than the preamp version:
1. The price is about $100 lower, which might matter to someone who already has a preamp or who has no analog sources.
2. It can be used to take DSD extracted in the form of an SDIF signal and put it into a file in the computer. This is an inexpensive way of capturing the output of a DSD analog to digital converter or (more likely of interest to audiophiles) solving the second half of the problem of ripping SACDs. Unfortunately, solving the first part remains either expensive or requires DIY hardware and/or software skills.
I am waiting reports for how this product sounds, especially when playing PCM files, as these are the vast majority of my library.
