Hey Hansen,
I did not say the DACT did not improve thing. But the system acceptance is not high enough for us to risk offering as the factory mod. The major negative response is hard to find a correct volume setting. Even Ferdinand has this problem. Once click is too loud and the lower one is too soft. I have encourage customers to try it themselve after getting the standard unit. If you can tolerate that volume setting spread, that is great, keep the DACT mod. Otherwise go back to the ALPs. Say for one of my system, even one click of the DACT is too loud for some night listening.

  Really? Man I must listen really loud or most of the audiophile world listen at lullaby levels! 8P Man where are those 300Wpc solid state amps being used? hehehe 8P

  Honestly, 24 steps is way too many steps for me, I don't think I use more than 5 in a typical day hehehe ... (my usual levels at: 9, 10 (vocals), 11 (jazz etc), 12 (loud) and 3 o clock (very loud)- that's it. I actually even like the stepped settings better, easier to remember the exact volume levels that I like for each song.

  When I was asked about the DACT mod, I offered to the customers that I will do the mod but it will be a no return option. So far no customer want to take this option. Our ALPs version only has two returns in 6 years history. I don't understand why they don't want to take the DACT mod if they have faith in the DACT.

    Common sense. They have no faith because you have a no return option for DACT'ed LW-1. Even I would take the alps version if I were a new buyer. 8P
