Hi John and everyone,
It's been a long time since I last posted on the thead due to many commitments and additional family members
. I've tried to follow how its been going as best I could, but seem to have lost pace with the development over the last 12 months or so. The last few days I've managed to sit down and jog back through to see where we are at, and it seems I've missed quite a lot.
My last point of reference before this week John had made the decision to no longer develope using the original mdac case due to its constrictive size. I think I am now up to speed but correct me if I'm wrong:-
The Mdac2 project with the full size housing and internal PSU is going to be the Fdac, which may have tube/solid stage or both.
There is a usb isolation module, this is the Detox.
It now seems there is an Mdac2 in the works to be completed before the Fdac, to use the board design from the Fdac but in the Mdac case but with a new external psu. I have the option to transfer my pledge to this and then get a 50% discount on the funding for the Fdac.
Now I have a few questions:
Is the Detox needed for the Fdac project or is it to be part of the internals of the dac? If so have i missed out on this or can I still plege my funding?
If I stay with Fdac project what is the likey time frame? bearing in mind I'm in no hurry and allowing for John to work his magic.
What are the final overall costs for both projects? i.e. Mdac 2 pledge + Board + psu, and same for fdac. there was talk of import fees too at one point.
Am I behind in any other funding? I see you require an additional pledge for machinery. Is this for the Fdac too?
Also I have paid my funding pledge for the Mdac2/Fdac L2 £400, but I've never seen my user name on any of the funding lists.
Sorry for this and not keeping up to date, hopefully I will be able to stay with the project now.
Gavin
