On the subject of the Astrodyne; In my exp it didn't do too much for me (very very subtle change if any). It might benefit those with "dirtier" power more but in my case not so much. I have not heard anything powered with the HR brand DPS though which I would like to very much try one of these days.
I will agree with everyone else on the subject of the umdac having much better bass and detail than the regular. The standard dac is not slouch though. From what I can tell, the desktop portable seems to be a step down from the ultras.... it does have the benefit of better output options IIRC.
