The original idea was to charge GBP100 development fee for the FWC, so considering the few who are upset about the salvaged MDAC issue - I'll just charge this GBP100 and its then upto me what I do with the funds - I can then repurchase the non working salvaged units back - and have funds spare.
Concerning the argument about those who have purchased an MDAC privately for the MDAC2 upgrade, presumably these units are working and can be sold for GBP300 the expected cost of the FWC?
Hopefully I'll not be "forced" into charging a GBP100 development fee which would increase the FWC to GBP340 just because a few are upset about the notion of me repurchasing non working salvaged units?
Please consider that by charging the original GBP100 development fee I'd have an extra GBP7000 sitting in an account!
Guys, in essences I'm forgoing GBP7000 to try an make this happen, what more can I do?
I'm not interested in profiting from this situation, but just to be able to release the best DAC I can and not be forced into crippling the design in the final stages of the project.
Lets face it, an official "Factory built" Fusion DAC's in a nice chassis, HQ PSU and with touch screen, tested by myself has to be worth more then a DIY upgraded MDAC?
If the goal post are moved, then its to IMPROVE the product - just imagine how you would feel if your purchased your MDAC2, then a few months later an "Upgraded" nicer built unit appeared - personally I'd be so upset! Then once we start releasing software for the IPS touch panel units only, then it would only get worst!
As I now know the ultimate goal is a product based on the FWC, why make a two class system and upset every loyal PFM MDAC2 owner? Its been the support of everyone here that has made this project possible - I'm not going to burn this bridged.
I could have kept quite, said nothing and made my life easy - but THATS not what I'm about. I UNDERSTAND the feelings, but upon consideration this is the least "Evil" - but its like being caught between a rock and a hard place.
IF we go the FWC route then I genially believe that this is the correct decision.
