I think the 3950 used external DACS (Burr Brown) that could either take the upsampled datastream directly (PCM downsampling: OFF) or could be downsampled (from 192 KHz) to 48 KHz PCM. With the 3990, this downsampling option has dissapeared and the unit auto-magically decides to feed the internal DAC a stream of its choosing.
I'm evaluating the unit for a non-audiophile friend who wants a simple unit with good sound and thus have not used the unit as a transport (yet) but I know improved isolation helps the unit even with an external DAC. Did you experiment with either of these in the heydey of the 3950 ?
