April says 100Sig has better parts, including the gold plated board. I suppose I2S can be a big advantage, especially with the T100 transport to come soon. Simon Lee said the 100 series combo has driven B&W 805Sig very successfully at CES08, a work which he had thought to be hard, and he thinks it might be a virtue of I2S connection. Also balanced digital input should be useful considering that DA100 has only one coax input. But I hope to have a DA220 with I2S input (220Sig?), it should make a very versatile gear.
