I wonder if chris has considered a tube output stage(spdif) I think this would lift the sound to a new level ?..any views

24/192 spdif yes of course,but a few top end manufacturers are starting using their own proprietary sockets /plugs for higher rates. msb to name one. spdif has its limitations just like the old usb2 so I am wondering if we will ever see a future more efficient upgrade in this area? I guess if we start going higher than 24/192...

I would also like to say apparently elsewhere on this site someone has tested usb3 against FireWire and it is very noisy ,he thinks it might be something to do with a chip within the USB cable. If this is true then USB 3 would be a very bad idea at least until this noise issue is resolved

I would like to see a more advanced approach to RF/EMI rejection(a good few tweaks) separate power for motherboard etc.Also a quality AEU/EBU WBT connectors,this might add a little to cost but the sound quality would only get better.

Would love to know if Chris is working on a V.03...does any one know???

I have read this thread and i must say it is of great interest to me.A great concept and one that appears to be the answer to so many hifi servers that don't quite cut the mustard.<br /> CAPS V2 i believe is really addressing the issues that so many servers from leading manufacturers gloss over.i.e lowest power usage,minimal processing from OS,proper USB filtering etc.<br /> I would however like to see the next chapter V3 perhaps? This could be something that i would like to build or maybe even order ready made(depends how complex)Can we get some idea of when this might happen? As much as i like the V2 i think there is room for further development.
