Ah I see, but I don't feel like paying extra 150$ for USB when SPDIF works great for me. Would there even be notable difference ? Who knows.
Btw nice read : http://www.head-fi.org/t/701900/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up/690#post_10441924
Only one to find out
Thanks for the link to Chapter 11. I'm still on Chapter 1 (keep getting distracted with life and headphones), but I was happy to skip ahead. Good stuff, and Jason's an entertaining writer. I can pictured Mike Moffat's Eureka! moment when he hit on upgradability.
This is the key statement from Chapter 11, and why I won't be getting a Gustard:
"And today, with the new CM6631A, I’m finally totally happy with USB. In fact, I use it most of the time at home."
YMMV, of course.
