if nothing else, I'm super intrigued by the mysterious technology that Jason has been promising in the statement DAC. Anyone want to hazard a guess? A novel R-2R / multibit implementation? Who knows...
Ah, I love the smell of speculation in the morning! :-D
Yeah, I've been thiinking about this as well. Here's my utter, rank guess, with nothing more than the developers' past history to go on:
An ST-Optical interface (at least as an option) with provision for an optical connection to make the DAC's clock the master and slaving the transport computer's clock to it. This would provide (1) jitter performance along the lines of async USB; (2) complete electrical isolation on power, signal, and ground; (3) better bandwidth than Toslink for high-res material.
