Does anyone know if they're planning to release the DAC on its own?
I've already got quite an investment in audiolab kit...
8000CDM/8000DAX/8000Q/8000SX/8000P
...and would probably only benefit from the new DAC as I doubt the CDQ's transport and preamp would be any better than the CDM and Q individually.
Mind you I've had a lot of work done on the DAX, and it sounds beautiful, but you know how hi-fi greed works...new, shiny, 32bit, and the missus would never know, it would just disappear in a stack of black boxes...

Yes, Mr Westlake is in the midst of designing the MDAC; now that he's done with the final design of the CDQ ;-)

Apparently the MDAC is a sub-GBP500 DAC in a small case format with OLED display, Class A Headphone Amp, USB and Digital inputs sporting a "ClockLock" feature...
We'll just have to see if they meet their goal at that price point next year

Heard the DAC with a mac book at the Manchester show.
Didn't stay for long at most exhibits but this was very impressive and made me sit and listen for a while.
