    ID love to get mine done, but only got two reservations..

    1) cant afford it :mad:
    2) my transport wont play CD-Rs which is a pain in the long term

    Pete

    With the power supply, how much was your clock? -

    Anyone know a way of making a transport that wont play CD-Rs ..play CD-Rs - or is it just a case of tough tittie?


    Cheers
    Chris

    Having had chance to inspect one of these net clock and psu's more closely, I can say, the psu is far more advanced, clock is well er um... ok, the psu is good even if you make your own terminals from a Cap :confused: WM

    They do another version, the rock maybe thats a more upto date design, and possibly why the miniclock was half price.

    Pete, It wasn't the miniclock mate, some very odd design work in there :confused: (the rf box was a nice touch) if a little gargantuan in girth :D I feel the max clock hieght should be 10-12mm, try fitting one of them in a micromega or even a planet easily hoooo, shrink ray anyone. WM

    Can't comment on the design but the size is ....well intresting !

    I'm thinking of rear mounting one ...bolting it to the rear of the case inside another plastic project box.

    Pete a little Tip for you, the clock, should be a close a humanly possible to it's intented destiation, IE the 0V and the clock signal wire should be very very short, if not shorter. WM

    Yes I know, Unfortunately mine has gone where there was space !

    I'll ge round to copper foiling them at some stage, hoping that will help a little.

    Unless the player is really deep the miniclock has to sit to one side of the board on the Denon.

    If i do the Quad the crystal is right by the edge of the PCB next to a nice sized gap....so that should work a lot better topographically speaking.
