I agree. It seems odd. They claim that the 1021 surpasses the 2009 stand alone DAC. The very same DAC that garnered enourmously favorable reviews. Can their claims be true? Or, is this a simple way to disguise a shift in manufacturing by reducing one component from the inventory?

Have I missed a recent pendulum swing from separates back to integrated components that a $20,000+ per component company would go in this direction???
