Topic: RayDAT - different color faces = differenty hardware revision?

Thanks entirely to the help I received elsewhere in this forum (!), I'm ready to get a RayDAT.

Looking at the images on the RME website, I see that the vertical "face" is silver:

But then I see various dealers selling RayDATs with a black vertical "face":

What's the different between the silver and the black?

Do I need to worry about whether a particular seller is selling an "older" version of the card?  What should I be asking for?

Thanks, as always!!

Re: RayDAT - different color faces = differenty hardware revision?

The silver slot versions of all RME cards were introduced three years ago. Besides the color they are identical. I doubt that shops still have the black versions in stock. The dealers just need to update their product images.

The used RME logo in this online shop is also outdated.

best regards
