I think I've also been living under a similar rock, and only just recently came across this awesome project.
Likewise have been looking for suitable PS3s that aren't being sold on eBay for a small fortune ! This is a MUCH better solution.
I have a decent sized SACD collection that I'd love to be able to digitise to pure DSD files, even though I don't actually have a file-based replay rig in my system yet! :-/ Though I recognise that the writing is well and truly on the wall for silver disc playback , and I will have to take the plunge into the computer & DAC music territory some day.
I've put my name on the list and hope I am not too late and that Mr. Wicked will be able to produce enough of these devices for all of us.
