I hope they have the same meaning. We just have a time difference, that's all... It was 2am for me when I first read and posted info on the Director. I usually aren't at my best at 2am.
Actually, I have the Explorer as we speak and I use it to go from my computer to a pair of powered speakers with analog input, so I use the 1/8in stereo jack which is both Toslink AND analog out, while the other is just for headphones. I just obviously want the apodising filter, up sampling.
The Explorer is more marketed for the Headphone crowd, but it can drive a pair of powered speakers with analogue inputs, and it has Toslink to go to a stereo input (I guess is what it's for).
