DO let us know how it goes ^_^I might try the SU2 with an external 10m clock. I'd get the su 6 but it's i2s input sadly is vertical and my best hdmi cable won't fit.

What price for di-20he? Available on AliExpress or eBay?Yes it is. I used to have two U16, I now upgraded to two DI-20HE. It has a huge improvement than the U16.

any pops at all between DSD tracks using the U16 with the X26 via i2s ?I feel fortunate that with the external clock and firmware V1.61 that all the previous issues are solved. I am even able to up sample everything to DSD from J-River if I chose to do so. Sound stage was ever so slightly narrowed but I suspect this was due mostly to an op-amp swap. I did read one misconception about the external clock C 16 that the only function for the buttons was to dim the led's. That is inaccurate it turns on the filter. If you think you are only dimming the light you are in fact bypassing the external clock function and the u 16 will automatically default to the internal clock.

I am afraid that It cannot beat it even with C16. I am still owning a C16 with my DI-20HE.look like u16+ c16 can easy beat di-20he !
Not as of yet.any pops at all between DSD tracks using the U16 with the X26 via i2s ?
Not so sure about that. I have yet to hear the DI-20, but it seems that if the consensus is that the DI-20 improvements come over all outputs and does not shin just through 1 of them. Where as the U-16's I2S is far better than the ABS/EBU, coaxial, or optical outputs but are still very good. Also it requires an external clock and just might be hyper sensitive to USB cables (not fully convinced on that YET). I have not seen where the DI-20 needs an external clock. But if you can get it working right the The U&C-16 combo is amazing.look like u16+ c16 can easy beat di-20he !
