DODSON 127II, 127II D and 128

Any light for difference and update? Can 127II be upgraded to 127II D and worth it? Can 12II D be upgraded to 128 and worth it? Cost info too?

I believe you can update the DAC 217 II to the DAC 217 IID but you cannot upgrade the DAC 217 to the DAC 218.

I also had the DAC 218 software update installed but still my DAC is not the same as the DAC 218 but it gets it closer in performance to the DAC 218.
