The BB chip (a different model number to the one you quote, I believe) takes care of the USB-S/PDIF conversion at up to 16 bit/48kHz. The native S/PDIF inputs to the 4398 can lock at up to 24 bit/96kHz.

This should give it a theoretical advantage over other portable amp/dac combo's like the Move and the NKK01se that are 16-bit. I take it this is now a preorder item as its available now but not shipping until Sept/Oct? |
