mea culpa, I didn't read the original Q&A with Mr. Hollinshead, I agree with Ludwig unless the ID41 is allowed to be a fully-fledged input mechanism on par with their USB implementation, and crucially, if the new functionality related to DSD doesn't result in improved audio results it's hard to see this in many peoples' living roons.

I would hope follow-on 818 versions have similar DSD and ID4X improvements (i.e. support SpeakerLink output to DSP SE speakers).
