Since it's been a hand made production run it's probably very simple for John to confirm the status of the unit if you send him a pm
The Mdacs with level 2 upgrade does it show a upgrade logo on the screen when it is turned on and when were the last upgrades done. Somebody is selling one with no paper work to show the upgrade was done but said it shows on the logo screen. I am looking at getting on the mdac2 upgrade and I am looking for a reasonable priced mdac and one with the level 2 upgrade already done means its the last instalment production costs only.
Also, there's no display "upgrade logo" when it comes to John's MDAC L1/L2 upgrades. The logo comes from a software/firmware upgrade, which anyone can do on a stock unmodified MDAC and is therefore by no means an indicator of the L1/L2 upgrade.
Thanks for the help, might invest in a new sound card or a network streamer, put all my CD's on that.
Contrary to what many people believes regarding frequency in digital sound, it doesn't bring more resolution, only increases the limit of the high frequencies further into bat and dolphins perception domain.
As you might remember, until recently (a couple years back) I too have been a believer that "more digital resolution"="more audio resolution".
It's a common mistake until we learn how it works.
Room correction, I believe.What will be the main point of DSP feature of MDAC? To create your unique filter?

John, what is the status of the added hdmi-like connector for the L3? Will it still happen? Or was it replaced by the BNCs, identical with L2?In performance terms, Sonically L2 and L3 should be identical - MDAC2 L3 has the addition of an ADC converter so you you can digitize an external Analogue source such as a Turntable with Pre-Amplifier, Tuner, Tape Deck etc.
The initial use of the DSP will be for control of the Advanced Clock section (Advanced Analogue domain signal decorrelation). Once we stabilise the initial software releases we will start building upon the functionality of the MDAC2 DSP with features such as simple "gentle" EQ / Tone controls, Advanced digital filters and Room Correction, Dynamic range Compressor (for late night listening), Hafler surround sound decoding, Headphone Crossfeed etc... the possible features can be endless - I see us 3 years later still issuing the latest feature for the MDAC2 by software
