Well Bill you started in the right place. Steve will no doubt chime in and sort you out. As far as adding the hiface, I'm pretty sure that Steve can accomodate.
Good stuff Bill. Steven doesnt make many. Best bet is to give him a ring, pm him if you dont have his number.

But like Hens said I think he will likely chime in now I have posted I want one so wont bug him with a phone call right now. But if say in a week or so he hasn't chimed in I will give him a tingle.ThanksBill
It will be a long wait bill many others waiting for a demo,regarding the hiface not to sure about that one bill,however once you get one you can always put one in.I doubt it will make it as a kd standards transport imho

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the modified Hiface driving a Killer. But don't take my word for it - there are a couple efforts underway to find out exactly how it does perform.ThanksBill
one is been built now but its not staying in australia its off on a holiday,regarding bill i know somebody that listened to it at mikes they are still keeping their cd94 we are after body with no whiteness in the sound without digital glare

And they are not the only one. But others such as myself have a different view - to our ears it sounds very analogue without the slightest trace of digititis. Transports are flat and distorted by comparison. A ThanksBill
you have still to hear a great transport bill against the jkenny on a revealing system
Quote from: kajak12 on May 30, 2011, 10:20:38 PMyou have still to hear a great transport bill against the jkenny on a revealing system It is simply letting more detail through in a way that gives it a lot more life and realism. I also have to say my friend does not agree with this - he thinks it is digital glare and brightness. ThanksBill
your friend is spot on digital glare and brightness
to be fair mario, you havent heard it yet. I would like to try the JKhiface with i2s, and compare it to a hotrodded cd94. We'll see, I'm trying to keep an open mind.
Hi AllActually with regard to the Killer what the go probably is, is to get it with an I2S input and get the John Kenny in a separate box for connection to either the PDX or Killer. Do you know if Steve has any preferred I2S connection method? Mike likes three BNC connectors. Anyone else have any views on this?ThanksBill
We are currently looking at various USB -> I2S options. Obviously it has to tick all the technical boxes, but more importantly it must not be a sonic step down compared to the best transports.
No Bill, if you really want to get one, order it (i.e. ask Steven nicely) as soon as possible, this is not something you can get at anytime, you can always install tbe USB to I2S transport when the R&D is done.
Your considering antying up for a KD, an extra $1500 for a decent modded transport shouldn't hurt too much. Buy some blank CD's and start burning. In my opinion for what little it's worth, is this music computer stuff is still a long way away from being worth the effort. Do you think that with the rubbish standard of computer gear these days that any of the computer manufacturers can be bothered to develop some decent chip sets that can rival the best of the past? It's looking like that is a wishful thinking to me.
