I guess they got tired of seeing someone making a boatload of money off the fact that their DAC1 didn't come with USB input. Even if their implementation of the USB input isn't as good as it might be, they will likely get quite a bit of sales from this move. Even though $300 isn't chump change, they can still claim that the DAC1 is pretty reasonably priced for what it offers, and USB inputs on DAC's, even if not ideally designed, do seem to be a big selling point these days.
