and an aside,
a rapper i work with had his Motu Traveller modified, and BLA did the mod the same day the received the Traveller, and shipped it back to him same day. now thats service!
As far as the A/D, the AK5393 is featured in the RME ADI-8 DS, which is their top of the line unit. The difference between the 5383 and 5393 is more like 6 db of dynamic range, even though they state it is 7 db. It's also much more power hungry, the 5393 draws 470mA current where as the 5383 only draws 220mA. I'm not sure if the power supply needs beefing up in regards to this, though.

Not knowing the analog side of things makes it difficult to guess, but the converter is an improvement over the previous model chip.
