Hopefully I will get some prototypes soon to play around with. Stay Tuned!!!

Interesting! What is the plan regarding the 75 ohm versus 110 ohm issue? I recall talking to Mathieu Pernod about the master companion link. Apparently the SPDIF to AES link can be utilised with either a 75 or 110 ohm cable, or something in between. At first, I was told 'it makes no difference' which you use, apparently because the Devialets AES/EBU socket has an input transformer that makes the input effectively blind to cable impedance, however, later in the conversation Mathieu advised that a cable with a transformer is theoretically the ideal. Some Audioprana cables use a transformer, and perform excellently.
