I have one of each Polyvection device. The Digi32 is a beta test version. Both it and the Dac32 are very capable devices and surprisingly good but Im not sure if youd hear any upgrade if you used the Digi32 with your existing DAC. Your big issue isnt really the player device its the functionality of your DAC which may be difficult to replace.
