Excellent John. They look fab. especially the FDAC which is my only interest.
Will the FDAC be black or silver? If silver is a choice I much prefer that.
So FDAC mechanical design is completed (sans the rear panel connector arrangements and PCB hole mounts as I've not completed the PCB designs).
I'm very happy with the FDAC design - I hope I'm not alone

Hi John
I like the design. A clean appearance.
One might underline this look with a retractable knob?
regards
F.S.
Simple works!
John,
I've noticed that with my car slot-loading player, there is a strip of either 'brush' type fillaments or a piece of material behind the slot (presumably to limit dust entering the unit). I no longer play original copies of my discs whilst driving because I noticed them getting progressively more and more scratched (I am extremely meticulous about keeping them mint). Is there anyway around this for the FDAC?
I suppose it could be the car vibrating the whole player, rather than the material causing this...
Anyhow, regards from NZ!
Kevin.
Fred,
I'd like to keep things as simple as possible until we can expand our capabilities - so a retractable knob complicates matters - but we could try reducing the Knob depth to sink to closer to the panel....
Its a good point and these details can be adjusted once we have a prototype on hand to play with
Also, I think the knob should be positioned closer to the headphone jacks, this will make it a little more balanced.
Actually thinking about it, we did reduce the height of the Knob & move it closer to the Jacks but I can only guess we lost these modifications during one of many system crashes / Windows7 restarts! ProE Creo is rather unstable.
When will we get to see an outline rear panel? I'm starting to think about system layout and cable lengths.
Jim,
Also available in Silver, so the opposite colour combination of the Black version - Silver Face plate 'Cheeks' with Black centre display bessel.
