I don't see how relevant it would be on the HD version though, power "quality" aside?
It would make sense if the buyer want to "maximize" the Concero, but don't have enough finance at the moment of purchase.
Let's be honest, a slightly better Dac chip, and DSD support/or HP out isn't worth the extra dosh. The upgradability might ease your mind on that though =p.
It reminds me of the weird pricing of the Chord QuteHd I had, by itself it's a competent 1300 bucks dac; you can improve the sound by adding transport (Ap2), and feed it with a PSU. The cost however isn't worth the performance gain (compare to buy a new dac). But if you think about it, the PSU could be use for other dac or to power your own DIY amp/preamp/dac; so is the transport.
Also it's not like you can't use separate PSU with the (current) Concero =p, just need a few workaround. I used this to have some fun with the Eximus Dp1 (the USB input also use V-bus power)
