OK - so finally managing to get acceptable performance out of "troublesome" units - so there will now be a L4 Toy - there are no "bad sounding" L3's (as we retained any units that did not meet the performance requirements) - just that the L4 build should insure greater constancy among units.
Now just to see if I an fine tune the L4 for even greater performance but the good news is I believe I've resolved the core issue.
I'd take a guess that it's do with high frequency decoupling, given that i've just sent John a load of 22pf and 33pf wimas.
Hmm, so the high frequencies that John mentioned might cause a problem for certain amps is also creating havoc inside the MDAC too?

I personally treat "havoc" as not a strong word. A quick check on word defination suggest something horrible and serious. My apologies if my poor choice of words offended anyone or resulted in misinformation.

A leather settee ?
No, we're all guessing - 2 + 2 + 2 = 47
John, hope that L4 does the trick! The earlier the current units complete their upgrades, the earlier the MDAC2 gets started!
1. Is my silver MDAC a troublesome unit?
2. Have there been any more butchered MDACs in the units you are upgrading?
3. Is L4 to be applied to all remaining units?
4. With L4, is it still recommended to unplug the PSU from the wall, or can we just power off using the switch on the MDAC?
John
when you get time, any chance of giving us a some information on the nature of the variability and how you've overcome it?
I understand if you'd rather keep that to yourself

I was seriously considering selling my to-be-L2 unit to a friend when MDAC2 was announced. That is - selling at the time MDAC2 is released & scraped MDAC skeletons available. I guess that's a distant future at this point.Due to the amount of work I put into these units I'd hate to see these "Scrapped" for MDAC2 units - better to sell these on (or keep as a second DAC) and buy a new condition "Salvaged unit" for GBP350 to GBP400...
Hi John,
as you well know I have one of the 2 L3 Fusion units; for now where does that put me? I'm confused by L4, L2 Premium etc.
So far I seem to be happy camper but seeing as you don't want my unit "butchered" for MDAC2 I'm looking for directions....
Cheers,
Johan
Planning to post more impressions on my unit later this week
