In relation to the QA-410, I've been about to hit the 'buy' button for a while. Thanks BE718 for the superb photos- however they got me looking...
It appears there is a part they have not included for some reason. It's clearly supplied with 3.3v and looks to run around to the masterclock to the A/D along with another via going where? Ground trace on the backside most likely. The outline and spacing suggest a metal cased SMD crystal oscillator to me. Perhaps the Q101 oscillator is good enough?
I currently use old school gear, including a 1995 AudioLab setup (I need to keep a win95box alive for it- DOS-direct port access), along with a few computers running FFT (VA etc) using M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 PCI cards for aquisition. The QA-401 is going to be on my bench soon enough after passing on a nice R&S unit the other day (it was simply too expensive to justify).
So if a group buy is on the horizon, it could be a good option. My only issue is the 20V RMS ceiling. (I'm always slipping with my x10 switches on Cro probes) ad I do a lot of work on high powered amplifiers, with rails +/-80v+. For testing D/As and line stage levels it looks fantastic.
