This fascinating thread takes me back to 2007, when I began a variety of audio comparisons. Yes any Mac can be a good server, but it’s what you do with the output that makes the big difference in sound. For reasons which will become apparent, I have a strong preference for the very...

John, IF it can be arranged without causing delay for others, a 12V input would suit me very well indeed ( currently running my much modified Mac mini from 12V on a Paul Hynes which I know has spare capacity).

Or for FM, which I use a lot.

Back at the start of November John indicated that this will be available as a special order mod, using the L+R sockets of the unbalanced output as A/V input, maybe with a jumper changeover, and I've already opted for this. So far as I know, this is not intended to go through the analogue output...

Thanks John, If the jumper can be fitted in that would be ideal, but not essential for me. Since I acquired a Fusion modified MDAC I have been running entirely with the bypass connected, and using only the XLR outputs. The DevDac would be a drop-in replacement, and I guess I can afford a couple...

Thanks for this- it's very useful, especially the reminder about the Pro-ject device; this makes it much clearer what the Ministreamer is about.

I have not followed the ministreamer /Lakewest streamer correspondence, so I'm rather ignorant about it. Can anyone who has been using one of these explain what the current situation is with regard to software and control of this device, please? Does it link to a control computer/tablet over...

For DevDacII I think the answer is 'Yes': John, I am very interested in this by-pass idea. Any idea on cost?

According to John's spec: USB, SPDIF and Optical input.

I may have been misled by the word 'input'; as you can guess from my HT comment, my electronics is a bit out-dated. Perhaps John could clarify what this does.

So far as I understand it, this (Hand Matched Mosfet input stage) is an alternative, better SQ version of the USB input. I don't think an analogue/AV/HT bypass option is available; that would probably have to wait for the MDAC2 etc. versions, though if it were on offer I would certainly go for...

John, Thank you for this. I'm not on Facebook, so maybe some of these questions have been answered there. First, will my preferred version, the 'MDAC2 Advanced Clock Option 1' still fit in the old MDAC case/chassis? On the DevDAC II, which looks as if it might be a useful stopgap: Will it...

I'm also interested; I have a feeling that John did post something about this a while back, but I can't remember any details, other than that it sounded more complex than the 5-rail solution for the old MDAC. Has anybody a better memory?
