808 Upgrade

[Still-One]

I have finally decided to go ahead with the upgrade of my 808v3 to v6. I initially skipped the v3 to v5 update that others including Jerry and Chuck spoke so highly of. This is what is included:

808v3 to 808v6 Upgrade Kit
- IE58 Card (Notes 1, 2, 3)
- 0A25 Card (Note 4)
- 808v6 Back Panel
- OE38 Card
- ID41 Card
- PSU Upgrade Kit

Notes
1. New built-in MQA decoder fully supports Master Quality Authentication (MQA) encoded music playback, guaranteeing a studio master quality experience.

2. New SPDIF receiver enables USB and RCA inputs to receive up to 192kHz digital audio.

3. New DSP chip offers lip-sync control, DSD playback via DSD-over-PCM (DoP) and MQA rendering capability for analogue outputs. The analogue outputs also feature Bass, Treble and Balance.

4. New analogue output card features an upgraded circuit with filtering that broadens the bandwidth, and maximises the potential of high resolution music.

Parts have been ordered and I will be sending the unit next week so the upgrade and burn-in can be completed so that I can have it back when we return from Europe.
