So, what has happened? Has someone (hopefully filburt) managed to buy this 2.7?

and some more info here; Listening Comparison Of Digital Audio Filters

Sorry - I haven't personally done the comparison myself but I know Filburt and Icarium spent some time comparing the 3.1 (pmd200) and the 3.0 (pmd100) to listen for differences. There seems to be a few differing opinions on this - some say hardly any difference and some say huge difference - Without having two completely identical dacs with the only difference being the pmd chip its hard to say. If you could find that upgrade board you are talking about that would be ideal. Have you tried asking Parts Connection if it existed because i haven't heard of it?

Dreamwhisper - I'm still keen for you to post an image of the inside of your 2.7 I will post an image of mine; If you look at the three ic's top right you will see what looks like an aftermarket mod on one of the chips, where two legs have been linked. I would be keen to know if yours has the same... [ATTACH=CONFIG]2963[/ATTACH]

Could you post a pic of the internals - i would love to compare it to mine.... Thanx

Wow - good find! How did you know it was a dac2.7? Did you request a pic of the internals? Would love to see the insides of that thing!

If it has a pmd200 then its a 2.7 as you only got the pmd200 on the 2.7 and 3.1. If you have a pic of the internals we will be able to confirm this, and also what (if any) mods have been done. I have a dac 2.7 and a dac 1.5 Was this the one bought through Canuckaudiomart recently? Regarding NoNoNoNoNoNo: Ive been silent until now because I have felt incredibly guilty but here's what really happened; I was new on head-fi.org and had made friends with both Filburt and NoNoNoNoNoNo, mostly because they were both knowledgeable and very helpful on the assemblage dacs and I had a 2.7 I either wanted to sell or mod. Both were looking for a 2.7 for themselves as they both had 2.6's and wanted to upgrade. I decided to hold onto my 2.7 and mod it, but to help them both out I promised to keep a lookout online for any assemblage dacs that came up for sale. When one came up on ebay I contacted both Filburt and NoNoNoNoNoNo with the link. NoNoNoNoNoNo obviously snapped it up first. I have felt incredibly guilty with the whole scenario as I was just trying to help out two fellow head-fi'ers and I ended up causing a major drama - this was never my intention. I have had conversations with both guys and they are both awesome guys. To both Filbert and NoNoNoNoNoNo; I'm sorry for the drama's I have caused and I hope you will both forgive me - I was only trying to help Regards, Nathan
