@listener you are making this harder than I thought . Based on your glowing Mega5est review i was about to cancel my Dusk 2 order and get the Mega5est instead. i used a Free DSP cable with my B2D and never had a problem so maybe i’d be better off with the Dusk 2 and the extra $200 in my pocket. I figured even with the default DSP the mega5 would be far superior, but sounds like they are about even. Assuming im ok with the Free DSP cable, I’m guessing you’d say go with dusk 2?
