The USB-Dual-Audio from ElectrArt in Japan is now named the UDA. This will hopefully assist in finding it in searches, USB-Dual-Audio was IMHO too generic a name to yield proper search results.
The Newest release of the UDA mentioned on ElectrArt's website will apparently come in two versions. One called the "DoP" version, supporting the new dCs standard of DSD packed PCM and no recording facility. The other the "standard" version with a proprietary driver, and supporting recording and playback of DSD.
This makes the UDA compatible with many pieces of software, though it seems it can not be upgraded to achieve this functionality, and a new revision of the hardware is required.
There was a board shown giving SDIF support over BNC for interoperability with standard DSD equipment, a big feature. I have been waiting for this for years, and a major plus for studio use. Hopefully the boards will be available soon, they have been shown for the past 6 months on the ElectrArt blog.
In addition, since the first release (1.0, which is the version I have) the clocks have been replaced with the excellent NDK NZ-series oscillators. The UDA features discrete oscillators, at 22.5792Mhz and 24.5765Mhz, for 44.4khz*X or 48Khz*X, respectively.
