Are you talking about the 1990s units or what I propose now. And what has this got to do with anything anyway.

Start with the 1990's unit (what parts of the NAD used and modifications) as a matter of interest. Follow by what you propose to do. (new donor machine and how much used). It's got a lot to do with everything especially if you want peeps to put up money - how good will the transport used be - potential sound quality etc. Don't need to give away any trade secrets.

Translate. Can you tell me how to make it .

Nope ! if in doubt don't do it.

Anyway I don't have the answers yet, I suppose you could say it is question of faith in my ability to do it.

I would only buy a statement CD player if it was better than that old Sony CD & Dac the Doc has

No but I would like to have an outline to Richard's approach to the 1990s design. Also I think basing it on a proper high quality CD transport rather than something you get in a computer makes a difference. (among a lot of other things). Using a good Sony if that were still possible would be fine. It would have to be better than Marco's heavily modded machine.

Well that is the obvious reference as that is what I use. I cannot guarantee that and it is a big challenge. I can guarantee it will be better than what you use at the moment

I will know more about possibilities when the Black Box ones are built (if I get the ten orders)

I'm interested - I will send a deposit at the weekend although I think it might struggle to make 10. The theory is that the DAC is not even remotely as important as the power supplies as we have discussed before.

OK if you get 9 I will order the tenth in the hope we may get a Statement CD how that sound

OK a post that will keep the list of who ordered and the number.
