No call on mine yet... Anticipation is killing me!
JohnW - Is there any way I could purchase an uncut MDac case? Looking for something that will match to build my custom PSU into..
Thanks,
Sam
Hi Sam,
I'm not sure if I can get a case out of IAG China, but I believe we opened tooling for our PSU casework today - so I can get you a "Blank" chassis within a couple of months.
The finish and footprint is the same as MDAC, but with heat-sinking area, so better to build a PSU with

That would be ideal, even better if it was to have a matching power button and led (LED I can sort but power button?)
Thanks again for all your help John, its really appreciated.

Picked my silver M-DAC up from Bartletts earlier at the pre-order price. First to collect from them, they were unboxing a bunch of M-DACs from their shipping cartons when arrived. It's sat under my desk at work now waiting for me to get home and run it in. Can't wait.
Many thanks John for all your efforts on this - will post my impressions once I've had a decent play with it, but have no doubts I'll be pleased & that it will be a significant step up from my DacMagic.
Looking forward to the PSU & transport

Yes, I'm looking forward to mine too. John, any suggestions about how long to do a burn-in?
This may be the best place to point out a small error in the user manual (Yes, I know John didn't get to proof-read it).
On p19, Audio Midi Setup, there is a note that after changing sampling format, you have to close and re-open iTunes. Maybe this was true for early versions of iTunes, and Benchmark also say this, but for iTunes 10, t'ain't so! You change the setting, there is a 1-2 second drop-out of sound, and then the stream starts again with the new settings. I have just checked this on a CDQ with an old Powerbook G4 and a fairly new MacBook.
Looking to the future, a question for John. When the new matching CD transport appears,will the remote handset also control the M-DAC? I, and maybe others out there, get complaints about "So many zappers, I can't play a CD any more...."

Time for a steak and chips.
What I would do for steak and chips!
Did you contact your dealer to see if it arrived?
There's a unit here:-
