Different animals, the W4S is full function and QB usb box only.
I like my W4S DSDSe. Older QBs need updating for DSD. I have noticed that the latest Windows driver for the Ayre is the Theyscon 1.26, which is old and I am currently using 2.26 that sounds a lot better than 2.15 on my Wave I/O USB to I2S/spdif unit. 2.26 also has had the Audio Control Panel restored and allows for various latency buffers to be selected.
The W4S DSDSe uses Amanero based boards and the driver hasn't changed since production either.
