Can I make a plea for you to use really good quality robust connectors for the rear of the FDAC
Whilst I love the sound I get from various sources via my basic MDAC I shudder at the thought of making any connections or disconnections from the rear combined phono / toslink sockets.
I never use locking phonos but I invariably get the socket surrounds coming off with a disconnected phono and at least one of the little toslink flaps that help retain the toslink plug is AWOL
Add to this a number of bulging capacitors and a few leaking ones internally and quality wise it has to be the worst box I have ever bought.
Now that the FDAC is a stand alone box I will have to seriously consider getting my soldering iron out. Do you think replacing caps and I/o sockets on the MDAC board is doable by a reasonably competent bodger with just flux paste, solder and a temp controlled Antex iron.
