FYI - The analog RCA and XLR inputs are converted to digital by an internal ADC. The ADC cannot be defeated or bypassed.

- Update - DAC/preamp outputs have been added to the final design.

Agreed. I wonder if that has anything to do with the THX licensing?

It looks like they have changed the design and now it does have RCA DAC outputs, very nice change. Now I wonder if you are able to cycle through the AKM filters. Seems like a exceptionally good deal if the THX amp lives up the hype. That surround processing has big potential for gamers and movie watchers especially. Its supposed to be a quite subtle effect which is great IMO.

Where do you see that they've added outputs?

Its the picture I posted, they updated the product page on Monoprice.com. You can see Analog RCA output in the middle of the Balanced XLR ones.

For me I see 2 sets of RCA one says in the other says out. You might want to clear your browsers cache, could be loading the old image if you have been to the page before.

Strange, it still doesn't show up right for me even after clearing my cache, but anyway that's definitely a needed change

Ill try putting it on file hosting site maybe this one will show up correctly. THey changed the way the back looks quite a bit, reversed inputs and outputs side and added RCA outputs.

Now they change backplate? It seems it is it still not in final stage. I hoped this product will sell next month

Now that's more like it!

Of course I would prefer it to have a balanced output instead of a balanced input, but I'll take what I can get.

The Monolith Desktop just got a whole lot more attractive to me!

I actually posted one a few posts back, but here is the direct link to where I uploaded it to imgur. https://i.imgur.com/elwqPQG.jpg . I am in Japan so I am assuming I am seeing a different version of the Monoprice website than everyone else which might be why its not showing up. Some more news is that the ETA now says 1/23/2018. So it looks like it has been delayed until next year likely to make these changes to the back-plate. No idea if that is final or not and they still havent added the full specs.

They must have saw all the feedback which was along the lines of "NO LINE OUT NO BUY!" and decided to redesign it.

Strange is, how it will be implemented. Dirac is optimization for headphones. How it will sound on speakers thru line out...
And what about balanced out ? Headphone amp is balanced
