I thought that was answered by John's comment that, when first released the fpga won't do anything.
So I've understood that stuff like noise shaping will come later
Indeed correct, the FPGA in the initial release firmware will just handle SPDIF decoding / encoding and signal routing etc. once I've debugged and completed the production of the units then we can start to build-up the FPGA and DSP feature set
The MDAC2 with its Dual ESS, Advanced Analogue stages, Clock and PSU design will already be a large step improvement over the original MDAC with more to be released from the design as we develop the DSP / FPGA features - like fine Wine the MDAC2 will Mature and improve with age in leaps and bounds
