Yes,switchable filters could be a good selling point.
let me get this straight... if i bought a couple of the apropriate caps from jimmy at tirna... if i got a mate of mine (who is a bit less fat handed than me) to take out that active board thing, i could litterally slot the cap into the right socket the right way round and there is a good chance i would have a better dac ... for £2...?

It's like stripping down the interior of your car, removing the catalytic converter, and putting on some wider tyres:eyebrows:.Quote:

i have no interest in headphones they all sound shit to me anyway :)... alternatively to give me the benefit of having a headphone out should i need one for making my ears bleed or something... how about...
taking 2 wires from the active board (where the ones jimmy atached go to) to the 2 caps then to a pair of extra outputs on the side or the back... it would mean drilling a pair of holes.... but how hard can that be.... does that make sence? would it work? and would i have complete function as well as an extra pair of passive outs?
If you don't use the variable output, you can convert that to a fixed passive out, and leave the other fixed output active. I can do it for you for a small fee plus return postage if you get stuck.Quote:
