Quote: I am working on that with "jude" here.

Quote: Hold on for two weeks. We will have a new DAC released.

One more reason for the changes on the original model...is that we don't want this product to be thought as a low cost clone of the BCL.

Quote: Good catch on the additional relay.

Quote: No, it's tailored for Matrix with the laser logo on it.

Quote: I don't think so.

Quote:   Shielded transformers can reduce the low frequency shake and shorter/zero wire can further reduce the electronic interference. Actually the new transformer we are using is more expensive than the original one. It's the same as the one being use in Matrix mini-i DAC.

Folks, I am sorry for not letting you guys know about this upgrade earlier. I have to make sure all other resellers clear their stocks of the old model. Although I am one of them but I have already given some of my recent buyers a free upgrade to the new version. OMG there are 15 of them...  ...

 Quote: It is called "Matrix DAC7" but it's been discountinued because we are unable to source the IC "PMD100". Right now the designer is trying to redesign the HDCD decoder and hopefully to build an mk2.

Quote: errrrrrrrrrr...We don't really quite encourage MODding although this amp has a very simple circuit... 2, 5, or 7 db gains don't make much difference to my ears.   Quote:   Thanks for the idea but simply cloning is not a good behavior. We can do more than that.  ...

Quote: Electricity connection is like your said, work or not. Optical signal may have a middle state, makes it difficult for the receiver to tell whether it's a 1 or 0.

Quote: Check the optical connectors. A loose connection might cause this symptom.

Thanks for the recap.
