Cool!  Peter, I think you must take note for your next designs appearence. It's some kind of Mondrian look.

Hey Peter, really nice story.

Well, our son Paul may enter the company (or already has)...

Well that would be really great. I look forward to the day I see the 'PaulSt' username on the forum. Having someone from Phasure who actually makes sense [and can play the drums 'on beat'] would be a nice change.

Paul, I'm writing to you directly on the off chance your dad may miss this post. You never know! Anyway, congratulations on the NOS1 Lego. It's an incredible achievment; the photo's are stunning! It must have been frustrating waiting for the photos to finally be shown to the world but I hope you'll find the wait was worth it. I mean your dad is saying there will be a new DAC better than the current NOS1a-75B. Seems impossible to me. But then who thought the Lego you made was possible? Really having the photos of your achievement in the forum thread announcing the new DAC is nothing short of perfect!

 Now, any chance you could replicate the Lego color scheme on existing NOS1a's? If so I may be sending mine back to you! Also, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. Your dad has suggested that his new DAC circuit board will be finished soon. Any chance you could steal it from him for a bit and see it if will fit in the current NOS1 DAC chassis? If so, could you incorporate it into your now existing Lego version and post more photos so we can see how it fits? I'm only asking because your dad makes cryptic statements like this:

Quote
But you'd have to admit ... is this modular or isn't it ?
Really everything can be replaced and we can do it ourselves.

Maybe I'm reading too much into these words, but if they mean what I think they mean then you should be able to make the new circuit board work in your so very cool Lego replica. Thanks and sorry for such a long post.

Something really strange happened ...

So I set this all up for you on March 31. And really, I have been eager to do so since the beginning of this year or even earlier.

I thought to start out with asking for a name. And yes, I like to apologise to everybody joining in with their best ideas ... all for what appeared to be an April Fool's joke.
Oh, read again this last sentence. My poor English tells me that it still can go in "either" direction, right ?

I'm only asking because your dad makes cryptic statements like this:

Quote
But you'd have to admit ... is this modular or isn't it ?
Really everything can be replaced and we can do it ourselves.

Nah, that wasn't cryptic. It was only consistent with this :

But I like to have a name first. One hint regarding that (I think the name should represent it somehow) :
There is really nothing imaginable which is not subject to upgrading. This time though, no sending in of your DACs. So all what is theoretically subject to upgrading, is just that and you can do it yourself (replace PCBs). Your D/A converter for ever.

Of course this anticipated the April 1 post about the Lego. That too was planned since the beginning of this year ...

Quote
I wonder myself how far this topic will go and where it will end.

At yesterday ?
I hope not !

Now on to that strange thing ...

When I was asking for that name I thought it could (only) serve as a decoy. But actually before people started responding I was already working on yesterday's post and set my mind to posting a post with a new title, actually as I did in the end (Phasure NOS1 Lego) BUT wondered what "Lego" actually means.
When I saw it, I realized that I actually knew already, but never saw it in the context of the name of a DAC. Look it up ... please do ...

It is only that I think I won't get away with it ...

"Lego": from Danish leg godt, 'play well', according to the Oxford Dictionary.

("Legato" is also taken BTW.)
