there are three mini dacs: standard, usb, firewire. all have s/pdif. the usb is from my understanding not being discontinued, at least for now, but will be sold in more limited supplies. from talks with apogee, there should be no to little difference between usb and firewire for people using the mini dac for non studio recording/playback purposes.

Is the $795 "regular" Mini-DAC inputed via S/PDIF (of these three choises USB. Firewire, and S/PDIF)? Does the Firewire option include USB? Is Firewire sonically superior to USB and S/PDIF, especially in regards to reduced jitter? |
