I remember your post / offer quite well. I was on the 10% watching the DAC project derail. But at £500 or so, I guess I'm also on the smaller contributors list to John's new audio studio, new electronic equipment or new AMG. It's funny how things go. I use to come here a couple of times a day...

Dear fellow MDACers or FDACers or whatever name this DAC project has. I'm still addicted to music, but not that much into hifi sound. My age doesn't allow me to hear the same way and my main source of music is Spotify so there you have it. Maybe one day I'll upgrade my 92's speakers. As for...

...and hello everybody. I'm just making my 2020 visit to check how's MDAC2 going. It's checked. No good news. I guess with a lot of luck, we might see the first units by xmas. (not saying which year, though) I hope there no casualties amongst the waiting list. My regards to everybody! Stay healthy.

More expensive than the MDAC2? I don't believe it. ...unless of course, you're dismissing *time*. Michael

Glad to see a new fresh thread. Thanks Tony! Anyway, one more year has come and almost gone. :( Even if the project produces something, I admit I'm not at all comfortable having to add to the £400 already invested, another £250 - £300 or whatever for the PCB to see the final product. I suspect...

Dear John, I now come here 3 or 4 times per year (used to be per day) to look for any progress and found this to brighten up my hopes: ...but, instead I believe it to be both funny and sad because your wrote that same line 4 years ago. A couple of months ago, I was stunned to find I...

You got me there for a second with the #numbers. :) Portuguese is my first language (The name "Michael" is just because I was born and registered in Canada. But I do live in Portugal since I was one year old). If I remember correctly, the reason John refused your offer was that he wanted no...

So let me get this straight… John is letting all of us down, by permanently side tracking, delaying and pushing back dates. And now the idea is to cover it up? Might as well say let's all forget about the investment on this project, a common dream for everybody John's included. Don't...

Well, I'll think about it. The L3 option, I mean. Not a chance on Vinyl. :D I've been into vinyl since before the 80's. I still love the sweetness of it. But I really prefer the noiseless truth of the digital to hearing music through a random equalizer (that's what I call to the sound...

Hi John, I have no use for an analogue input. Are there any other reasons why I should still go for the L3? :) Thanks Michael

John, I've signed up for mdac evolution, a project that turn out into a new DAC whatever name it will have at the end. That's the one I'm interested. I'm looking forward to consider other projects from you, but not before this one is complete. But please remember that time is our most...

Not the right place, but imaging is just that, imaging. One of the results of pos-production audio. Interesting, but not needed to listen to music, not needed for faithfull sound reproduction. I would never trade Monitor Audio's like yours for any bassless panel speaker. :D Michael

Things tend to be that way in the digital world. :) I believe it's easy to affect analogue paths, not so with digital ones. That doesn't mean that an interference signal travelling on a digital cable, can't enter the analogue domain further down the path. Michael

John, Here's an idea, since you don't use your spare time :D ...maybe this would be a good time to update the wiki page....now that FDAC is nearing its final stages. Maybe even one for the VFETs amp. :) I used to come here most of the days to keep up with the developments, but I...

John, I'm still faithfull to the 'light' so, no DETOX for me. USB is good for maintenance. :D Michael
