:blink: get a silver one and a tin of black spray paint?
I'm choking, just picturing someone opening up their new £7995 piece of HiFi and getting the black spray can out on it

Wonder if Chord would approve, LOL?

I am in San Francisco doing a Dave and Mojo event tomorrow at Audio High (yes I have fully finished audio path Dave with me too - first time its been on show) - so I have done some figures on a back of an envelope - Mojo should be capable of delivering more than 400 mW RMS into 49 ohms, not 118 mW so you will get more than 115dB SPL.

With this alone Rob you earn my respect!
And Dave will be on my top list if I could afford it. Now with only hugo, and hold on to TT purchase as I can't pass Dave can I?
Please tell me Rob you will be in Singapore soon or next year Feb Singapore CanJam. By then hope I have enough fund for Dave.

Hmm, don't like being self-righteous so apologies!
Yes I got some flack from Chord initially about my postings in that I was giving too much information away and perhaps I do. But what the heck, life is too short. I spend all my waking time thinking about audio, and my sleeping time is often spent solving problems - I often wake up with a problem solved. And its about enjoying music, so when I get a technical improvement that also results in enjoying music more then I naturally want to talk to people who care about audio too.
As to other companies? No not really, I am off on my own trek. There is nobody else walking on this path, which is why I am not bothered about about the possibility of giving valuable information away. This stuff is complex and takes many years to get right and generally engineers with advanced technical skills (there are very few) generally don't do listening tests, and the people that do listening tests don't have the skills. For example, I have been bleating on about long tap length WTA filters for 15 years, and the rest of the industry has simply ignored it and yet this is a simple concept proven by maths. I am still amazed nobody else has long tap length filters....
Thanks for your kind comments.

Yes actually I am pretty busy in Singapore - I don't have the details to hand so going on my memory, but will be at a show around 27th Nov. Then back for the headphone show around the 12 Dec. At the moment I don't know about CanJam Singapore, it clashes with our half term school holidays.

Do the late tweaks on DAVE have any affect on the final sound in your opinion or are they just connection/hardware tweaks?
To other posters here:
Lets hope we get some impressions on sound from other audiophiles attending todays event in San Francisco.

In short yes, more depth and better detail resolution. It was a case of updating the internal noise shapers with the knowledge gained from the main OP noise shapers.
But much of the work has been not audio related at all - displays, control, dual data mode, getting the dual programme mode to function.

So I expect wonders from DAVE – a new sonic benchmark for the next decade.
