Though I'd really like a 5 or 6 channel version of this USB DAC.

Nice.   And, wow - they've gone to a more neutral grey shade instead of the goofy blue (what were they thinking?).

Really nice looking unit.  I wonder what street price will be once they get into distribution channels.   Guess a call to Atlas is in order.

btw... I like the blue faceplate on my Stereo96 DAC

Interesting that it does DSD... How do you send a digital DSD signal to this DAC?

Cool looking unit, thanks for sharing Scott

Can DSD be transferred via USB/Firewire?

It appears the black/grey version has RCA outs, no XLR?  Does 'industrial' mean the original blue color?

Hey, my DAC resembles that remark!  I thought it matched the V3.  :P

In the thread about this over at GS, the Mytek representative mentioned that the DSD support is designed for computer playback over USB or Firewire.

I'm not sure that USB could do six channels of 24/192 reliably.
I'd love to get my hands on a Digital Audio Denmark's Axion
