Thank you very much Darren for your support. I’ll hope everything tunes out well in the next year. I’d rather not like to make too much noise about the refunds. Critics are not so appreciated here I believe. Thanks John for the update, I hope we can sort things out sooner than later. BTW, I...

I left the project over a year ago. At the point I joined there was no disclaimer saying “not refundable”. I’m still waiting for my money.

Well, according to this: http://www.amazon.com/SMSL-VMV-VA-2-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00GRSOJMO its CNC machined aluminum.

Why does this thing look somewhat familiar to me? -> SMSL VMV

Thank you John! I very much appreciate your goodwill. I clearly see there could be a even cost balance for me, but that is just to vague. Besides that, the form factor really matters to me. What happened to your idea for the MDAC2 as a studio DAC? Does a studio need a big and heavy high end...

For me this project has reached a point, where I can no longer support the direction it takes. Emotions and belief seam to have won over rational project management, it was delivery-time for the MDAC2, know the ball starts rolling again. To my mind comes Sisyphos … so much to „Rock and a hard...

Agreed

I see, but with all respect, there is always bigger, better and more value. It’s okay to push boundaries, but do it step by step. Else you could end up catching a dream. I prefer to get an MDAC2 upgrade because I can afford it, it fits in my current home, it is so much more compared to...

Putting up a poll in this forum does only ask the active, mostly pro FWC members. Of course the result will be absolutely biased. And even more so does the way how the question is formulated. There is a „No“ and a „Maybe“, formulated such, that I feel very uncomfortable voting for „No“. If...

I'm very well aware that this hobby is a luxury and therefore expensive ... It was by some part money that let to the decision to back this project; the promise was to get a very high end DAC that was affordable, an upgrade to the MDAC for enthusiasts and DIYs. Getting pushed out of a...

Some here count with the egg in the chickens butt! No one can guarantee that there old MDAC will be sold at 300£ and up ... so please do not calculate that into the cost of the FWC. With more people developing the FWC there is more risk things slip. miniDSP doing the UX and touch electronics...

+1!!

I do not have many options ... and going with the FWC to me involves too many "if". I don't like to be seen as a bumper to this project and if there is no original MDAC update, for me the best solution is to bail out and leave the others if an even higher end DAC. I would not try to force John...
