Have you ever contemplated the possibility to propose a Mk II upgrade to the Reference DAC by proposing to add 4 more Hybrid DAC modules to the existing 4 ones ?
I imagine that the Reference DAC mother board must be common to the Select DAC for supply chain good reasons ? It should be understandably like car engines which power differ by the way they are configured. Or am I wrong ?
On the “Reference DAC - Product Breakdown” video posted about a year ago on Youtube, one can see the mother board (starting around 7’30’') with 8 available slots, 4 with hybrid DAC modules and 4 free slots.
I understand that it could have been an issue commercially versus the Select DAC positioning which had 8 modules or today versus the new Cascade DAC which also has 8 modules (but MkII + lots of improvements well described in the Technical video presentation by Daniel and Frank), but the option of offering the option to add 4 of the original Hybrid DAC modules for people like me who invested years ago in a Reference DAC and last year in the Reference Director, it would be a great deal to preserve the product lifetime of the existing Reference DAC+DD for another number of years.
