MDAC first listen (part VI)

[Space is the Place]

For starters we will be manufacturing it, so we have better cost controls, and the prospective company has significantly lower margins then IAG...

We will still be unsure of the final price until I complete design,

John

Can we have any clue to who this enigmatic manufacturer will be?

 

[JohnW]

Lo John, You sound keen on this new offspring

Any idea of shop floor time?

I don't actually need any 'till xmas but I'm going to buy myself one too so sooner the better.

Yes, I'm excited - I've developed new circuits for almost every section, so as an R&D project its exciting - keen to hear how it sounds at the end of the day.

Not to mention I also have to wean SQ off his Weiss!

 

[JohnW]

Hi John, is there any chance to post the link to the new fw this we?
WE is optimal for testng it...

Will do, as soon as I have the file from Dominik,

A bastion of the UK HiFi industry.... is all I can say at this time

Maybe not a brand you would associate with a DAC.

Id be intersted in try it against my Zodiac Gold/Voltikus too. will it have green LED's - LOL

 

[Interzone]

and also will there ever be a thread to discuss subjectively what we think of the MDAC? (without intrusion from someone 'needing' something from JW so it doesn't become the post-audiolab helpdesk because the guy is just too helpful in sorting out our problems, questions and wonderments?)

NVA?

No, can only be done with extended hardware - with the MPAX.

If you can match or better the Weiss you may have to do so again with the CDQ upgrade Can it go on indefinitely John?

I have to say I'm looking forward to the reincarnation of the CDQ. It's a complete everything. Don't want to rush you or anything though

All I need then are active speakers (Which I already have!)

 

[JohnW]

NVA?

Somehow I don't think so...

John

I have to know

 

[Interzone]

NVA?

Ha, haha, hahaha. Please tell me you didn't really think that.....

 

[JohnW]

I have to know

Maybe the cat will be out of the bag at Munich.... anyone going?

Just jesting

Ooo, the plot thickens! Anybody fancy having a guess who it might be?

 

[arthur]

Always wanted to, out of my cash league at present.

I visited the beer festival as a younger chap. Damned if I remember anything about that weekend

Except a frualien with a whopping smile, pigtails and a willing way.

Ah yoof! where it went??

 

[Interzone]

where it went??

HIV?

 

[Carlos68]

B&W
