I seem to recollect that you considered the original Mdac completely transparent, presumably you feel now it wasn't?

Paul Hi, can you bring both units to Scalford, that would make an interesting blind test.

I'm sure I could get both units over to your gaff before then, though.
So I wonder, what's your agenda Mr Purite?

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the offer - but I truly hope that I've now cracked the issues at hand... your u nit is near the top of the pile to be upgraded... I'm hoping to get most of the units out by 15 Aug. to start working on MDAC2
Ah so this will prove that it is transparent... And is 100% fool proof ?I honestly couldn't say unless I can re-acquire the ADC I used for the loop test and re-run it.
Yes quite alarming that a manufacturer cannot guarantee sample quality.

Thank you ...great news .
Just breaking in a new pair of AKG q701 headphones.

' I'm very disappointed with the variance I've heard between "Original" MDAC's... something that will not accepted with MDAC2 units - I'll personally listen to each MDAC2 PCB before shipping out to insure constancy - I'll sign off each unit. This is not to sound "Big Headed" in anyway, but I've been so distressed at some units SQ...'
Doesn't fill me with confidence at Audiolabs QC.

Obviously that's just not the case Keith. The units shipped from IAG have all obviously passed their QC procedure. The simple fact of the matter is that John is much more demanding in terms of what he defines as acceptable electrical and sound quality variance.
Personally as a discerning customer I'm glad that he is. The Mdac sounds great, as I've stated many times the basic unit is within arse kicking distance of the Weiss 202. So benefiting from Johns mods I'd expect the difference between the two units to be none existent.
I'm sure we could arrange a room at Scalford to demo the two units blind and see if anyone can tell them apart. It should be enlightening to see what the difference between a 5k and 1k dac actually is...
