The John Westlake/Lakewest MDAC/FDAC, VFET and Detox
- Thread starter Tony L
- Start date
I remain hopeful that John will deliver what is promised as I have a £3105 investment in it (Salvaged MDAC for £370; Pair of VFETS for £2300; MDAC-L2 and L3 development payments for £200; Detox development payment of £50 and MDAC streamer board for £185).
I'm fortunate to own one of the John's L3 modified MDACs with all the options available at the time... and still use it as my primary DAC with great pleasure!

I am in for £835 in total, invested between 2015 and 2017:
02.03.2015 300GBP MDAC2 Combined 1st + 2nd + 3rd Installments
22.03.2015 100GBP MDAC2 Installment: L2 (4th) Development
28.11.2015 50GBP USB DETOX development
14.01.2016 100GBP FDAC L3 development
14.01.2016 100GBP FDAC L3 MC/MM Additional development
14.05.2017 185GBP MDAC streamer pcb
And I am interested in one box solution, something like a future FDAC, described by John recently (all functionality, superior quality, in new bigger chassis). If not in plan anymore, MDAC 2 would work for me as well.

I have contributed £400 for an MDAC2/FDAC/Whatever it's called this week DAC, and £50 for a Detox. Total £450. My earliest contribution was in April 2014.
Compared to some, my contribution has been quite limited and I am quite shocked by the sums JW has received from some individuals, whilst delivering nothing but, so far, empty promises over a period of over 5 years, or is it closer to 6.
So, what do we do? In my experience in similar situations, a solicitor's letter giving a period of time, say 3 months, within which to deliver the promised products or face potential legal action, has been the next step. However, with so many individuals involved, organising this would be time consuming.

adding this just for the record and to insure I am included in an investors only thread, I payed a total of £600 for FDAC development + L3 ADC MM/MC option, plus £50 on detox.
I don't think attempting to apply massive amounts of pressure on John is going to work out well for anyone but I definitely share others frustration, just think we have to wait it out now.

I'm still have hope that I might receive an MDAC2 DAC/streamer upgrade board sometime next year while I still have a few years left to enjoy it

£400 in total (I think) for one MDAC2 upgrade. I feel that John is focussed on this now, and I can't believe he want to carry on dragging this out anymore than we do. This is no way for either him or us to lead our lives.
