Non facebooker as well, happy to see updates posted here, hopefully regularly. I m a bit lost/confused over what is to be expected (did not follow developments very closely lately...). From what is posted, DevDAC II looks like an interesting alternative. I understand it as being basically a...

I m in for 2885 GBP MDAC L2 --> 400 Mini Streamer --> 185 VFET --> 2300 Edit: MDAC L2 is in fact MDAC2 L2

Hi John, all Long time no post in here! Crazy, exciting developments for the FDAC! If i read the latest specs correctly, there will be a a processor, a card reader, 2 usb ports wifi dongle possibility (do you supply it as well?), ethernet… (sounds RPi-like, correct?) and future internal...

Hi iansr If you re only looking for streaming music and wish to give Arch a try, have a look there (an Arch version of volumio, in a way). It is very lightweight, fast on boot and rock solid (as far as I m concerned). It has all the functionality needed (if you use it, be aware that...

Got a cubox-i (i2 ultra, now discontinued), running Archphile, MDAC USB. The music is on the NAS, and I am streaming wireless, with no problem at all. About distros: Volumio works great on the cubox-i and is fully functional (Airplay and unpnp client, from my experience). Community is large...

From experience using synology NAS, you can stream the music from the NAS to an airplay receiver. Get the app (DSaudio for iOS or android - others I don t know), and use your phone/tablet as remote. Airplay streaming is limited to 16/44.1. Higher res files are down sampled by the NAS. I do...

Hi John I amy well be interested in the VFET amp, if there it is still possible. Could you please let me know? Thanx! Happy Christmas! Pierre

for what it s worth, my own experience... I own a Cubox-i2 (ultra version, i think not sold anymore by solidrun), and I ve been playing a bit with it, mainly for audio purposes (mpd based distros). From what I tried, all these mpd based distros can be run headless and controlled with remote...

did you consider solutions such as raspberry pi or similar? I have seen at least one OS, similar to voyage-mpd that claims to make a pi an audiophile source (raspify.com). Apparently they intend to port it to other ARM based boards, but could not find details about which yet. I ve also seen...

Ale79, Keith, JohnW Thank you for your answers. Pierre

Dear PFM-ers, A bit off topic, sorry… Being very happy with the original MDAC, and looking forward to MDAC2, I envisage upgrading my system. The first step is certainly changing my amp (currently CA azur 650a) to a power amp, using MDAC – and MDAC2 in the future - as pre. So far, I have...

Hi John Out for a week on business trip and the beginning of the MDAC2 project was annouced. Great! First payment done; looking forward to next march! Pierre

Hi John Following closely the thread lately, it seems you re indeed struggling very much with the upgrades - with excellent feedback so far, Congrats! - but you certainly would feel better spending your time on other topics/designs/developments. I should currently be on the L2 upgrade...

Hi Laviefacile Am based in Leiden but am currently away from home (back on 19/05). If you re interested, we can arrange a comparison of your v12 MDAC with my original one. I m very much eager to compare the improvements as well. Cheers Pierre
