not sure exactly but I can tell you that my DSS-25 labelled sync station was recognised as a DSS-20 when it was first connected so I doubt there is much difference

No difference in functionality. DSS-20 was supplied with the P800, DSS-25 with the P900. Probably just a new model number to differentiate between the physical difference.

not totally correct. the first P800 were supplied with DCU-10 sync stations and later models with DCU-11 sync station. possibly the latest P800 models were supplied with DSS-20 but I'm not sure about that and my P900 (in dec) certainly came with DSS-20

Personally I thought the only difference was the physical appearance.

I would normally bow to masseur's superior knowledge as esato guru, but I'm afraid I have to be picky - the DCU-series are USB cables with no cradle, the DSS-series are the SyncStations. I stand by my original statement, given that I sold them for a living, unless, of course, they shipped with different equipment outside the UK.

But my P800 definitely came with a DSS-20 and my P900 with a DSS-25. My P910 will come with alot of bitterness that made me pay £500 for it, because I can't not buy it, when it should have a megapixel camera, Wi-Fi etc etc. Sorry to bastardise your thread!

I happen to have 2 different P800 DeskStations.
One identifies itself as DCU-11 to the Windows Driver Install SW, the other identifies itself as DSS-20.

Physically they are identical, but the label underneath the latter has "DSS-20" printed on it, whereas the former has not.

I read somewhere that it has something to do with speed...in that I mean data transfer. It might be that that the dss-20 was meant for USB1 and dss-25 for USB2. Thats just a guess.

Il try and find the link that I read up on about the speed.

Probably not about speed, I have the DSS-25 and the speed is about 1/3 or bluetooth

Difference between DSS-20 and DSS-25 is just appearance.

The USB speed should be at least as fast if not a lot faster than bluetooth. If it isn't, go to your device manager and change the bps to 115200.

you need to doublecheck your settings (specifically the speed) coz that is just NOT right, it should be way faster!
