Rest assured that I am leaving no stone unturned. I am even turning old stones that other engineers have already handled and then rejected with the excuse that it won't work or won't produce a quality result.
I have often been suspicious of such comments by those kind of people. Either they are not good enough to get something working, theorized that it won't work, or trying to sell you a far more expensive solution instead off the back of flawed science. Asynch USB anyone ;)?
I want to understand technical things. Its like going into a cathedral and thinking of the amazing structural engineering. When I buy a car, I usually want to know whats under the hood: If I see its faster and takes less fuel than myQuote:

Neal,

i've just got up. the reason being that i ended up listening to the bushmaster last night and just kept listening, am loving all the extra detail retrieval, if there is more to come after 12 hours burn in then i will be ecstatic. have to say i am impressed that you rolled this out at a price cheaper then the caimen, but i suppose that is the law of electronics - they get cheaper as time goes on. of course this breaks the law of hifi which is the reverse.
anyhow my one small gripe is that i still much prefer werners symbol layout , are you still thinking about this for later versions because i would really like it if it was retrofittable.
Looking at the Wolfson page http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/dacs/#stereo_dacs, the WM8524 is not classed as a "high performance stereo DAC".Quote:

Amazing how old dacs like the TDA1543 are used in ultra-expensive designs such as this http://www.vertexaq.com/products/ale...aletheia-dac-1. Goes to show you don't need a high performance DAC there either I suppose.
