i don't think the dac2 is anything new under the sun. from what i recall reading, it was basically a cheaper dcc2 se plus a usb digital input, minus the preamp. i could be wrong though.
When I asked their sales director about it, the performance should remain similar to the current SE as the DAC remains relatively unchanged.

The "breakthru" seems to be that they will now offer jitter-free inputs without their proprietary digital link.

I asked a few months ago, so things may have changed?
I just purchased the new DAC2 and TSD1 transport. Prior to that, I was using the CDSA. I must say that there is definitely an improvement in sound quality. It wasn't subtle.
It is noticeably different in design. As described by EMM it is more extended (it is) and throws a wider soundstage. The CDSAse is considered to be warmer in sound. I have the updated version which I love. It is not just an update. It is a bit different in sound. I need to give it a further listen but it is different from the previous generation sound in a fairly significant manner.
