Thanks for taking the time to analyze! I wander if it would be worthwhile to bypass that switch with a short wire lead or two, if only one input will ever be used... Maybe that entire STM8s business can be bypassed?

Also, there is a big difference between end-to-end balanced vs balanced outputs:

I think the simple answer is that it's difficult (expensive) to design and implement a balanced circuit that actually improves things without making other things worse. However, in a well implemented design, there is a benefit to balanced interconnects. How much difference you see in your...

Agreed, was't the best idea.

Not sure if DIY discussions are prevalent on this forum, but I am wandering if it would be a difficult task to combine two D10's or D30's into a balanced DAC. I am thinking something like, placing two D30s into a single enclosure, with the outputs going into a circuit that would combine them...

Yes I am wandering the same thing. Would the additional components in the external power supply, such as they are, produce a better final result than the USB power from the noisy PC? In the past, I've seen recommendations to use an externally-powered USB hub when dealing with DACs like these...
