Do you have a link to the video? I was able to find Dave Spiers talking about the CS-80 on SonicState, but it doesn't look like the DD was part of the discussion.

I do have this Loopop review of the DD that compares to the CS-80: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNf0kpidGc4

That says they made various updates (e.g. MPE support, more presets) but seems to suggest it's pretty similar. The biggest deficit is lack of some effects and the ring mod, which are available in an expander.

The main control area looks very similar. The form factor is definitely different and maybe the CS-80 would be more ergonomic. It certainly oughta be, since prices on reverb.com go from $60K to $90K.

Here's Ty holding up the DD saying it sounds nice, but its not a CS-80:

Hearing Sonic Talk's whole discussion on the CS-80 is interesting:

... regardless, even Behringer's CS-80 clone sounds a bit out of reach for me, but how long would that take given we're yet to see more demos of the UB-Xa in months!
