I have a DPA and some 500's and I love them both......
though id go with API all the way

BUT...

As good as the DPD and A2D are, at some point in the next couple years the converter portions of those units will be obsolete sorry to say.
the cool thing about api is they hold their value better than any other pre. The other cool thing about api is they seem to raise their prices alot
so you never lose. I'd buy some 500's series api's, a mytek AD and clock a cheaper D/A unitto the mytek if you need to save cash.

I'm not positive but I don't think the a2d does D/A
