I think the 2020 does not have the hdmi isolator. It can be added. Otherwise, the digital psus on the mkii are more silent, which gives... -

Improvement on the USB input does not apply to you. Likely, your best bet would be IIS, assuming the configuration between the two are...

There should be a rule in the AGD principles. Get the DI20/HE before anything else. This is a serious artwork. I am saying this because...

Yep, Kingwa can customized your input/output to what you need. You may have to wait a few days more for it to be shipped. There are...

Personal preference and you will be happy with either one. Still, I go with Fred's recommentation for the R8-HE Mk2 since I like the HE...
