The AP2 opens it up, better soundstage, focus, imaging, positioning, dynamics. On the other hand I am using it with a proper SPDIF cable, that also makes a difference to the 4cm cheap metal adapter. So it happens I switched back to stock PWD USB earlier today and that was ... meh.
A step down when I had the two in house. Felt the AP2 made the PWD2 less focused, tonally shifted down slightly and more forward than straight NativeX. Was bloody awesome with the Metrum Octave though.
