Michael would have to be convinced it's worth his time and cost to develop the extra board. I imagine the development would be easy enough but he'll have to pay out to have a minimum number of the boards made. I suspect he would dismiss it for the same reasons he's convinced the input board needs the USB and SPDIF running into the clock, being that most people considering a Chameleon would benefit from it. That's really too bad because there are some people with high end systems looking straight at the stacked TDA1541 NOS DACs as a high end solution. Michael needs to see that perspective. Maybe the coming 6Moons Chameleon review will sway him.
My little dream board would be no more than the pulse transformer and a tried-n-true DIR9001 (with the Valab established mod already done) and the associated components necessary to complete the circuit. All the USB stuff could be omitted. If that suddenly materialized I'd buy a Chameleon in a heartbeat. I won't hold my breath.
Does Michael monitor this thread? I know he's made revisions using some of the great mod ideas you guys have pioneered in this thread. I assumed it was because some of you keep in contact with him.

Or for that matter 12s input, though that would require a new chasis design. |
