Hi there Karma, and ... a warm
of course.
What people don't know is that I have an extended version of the NOS1-USB specs as well. This lists a few other possibilities, but it gold wild and I provided a simple one.
Think like about everything is possible, until we run out of input/output terminals (there are 12 possible in total with this cabinet). However, everything has to be created specifically for that first time, plus -and this is important- it will imply a load on the driver which is not preferrable. Not the most big deal, because I can provide as many driver versions as we need, and you could have one for normal playback, and another for ... well, playback from a transport via SPDIF-In. Of course, when you in ad-hoc fashion want to play a CD from the CDP this is not the most convenient, although uninstalling and re-installing takes maybe 2 minutes all together. But still, I think you'd *have* to do that for optimum sonic performance (without this latter one more general driver version will support more in one go).
I must also admit that I have been reluctant to tell about further options, because it will presumeably take ages of emails when not put out in the open to begin with, and/but no elementary option can have a standard price anyway because of a. efficieny in combinations and/or b. additional complexity because of the bunch of wires to solder it will take in the small space. Not working by "standards" also has its price.
By now, things having cooled down a bit, I may be up to it all, but the time it will take to really sort out things for the first time (because that is what it will be), is to be subtracted from the total capacity we have here, and which for sure at this time is not infinite (regarding the already too long pending orders).
Anyway, SPDIF-In is normally possible (not AES and no BNC connectors without further search for Neutrik fit), but at this time I don't even know what the maximum samle rate will be. Like for SPDIF-Out (also possible) this is 24/96, but which may well become 24/192 later.
Additional "complexity" arrives when we see that SPDIF-In can go via an internal SRC, or just without. Again driver settable, and don't ask me about the merits at this time.
Let's assume that such a connection takes 200 euros, then maybe you say "never mind". Good for me.
But also note, please, that when this "first" costs 200 euros, a next may cost 50 euros because the main work has been spent ... as it can also cost 300 euros later because we then know what's really to be done. So, a vague thing at first always, and next there's this combination with other stuff.
It also can well be that we'll provide a few combination settings only. You know, those where you will be paying more than you asked for, but which makes life easier on our side.
Ok, I just scratched another of these more too wild possibilities, and actually I can't hold up. But I do for now anyway.
But to keep in mind at all times : any of these options will come across as overpriced (mainly because of the driver work and sustaining the best SQ for the specific situation).
I'd say : When people have specific questions, let's ask them in this topic, which at least prevents from answering all the emails.
Regards,
Peter
