    Greetings folks!

    Been a while since I posted on here, glad to see the site still going strong, it sure has changed a lot though since I last posted :)

    I have had an M-Audio Superdac 24/96 for a number of years now, which with a few modifications (from a certain Isaac Sibson if he is still around?) has served me very well, serving up a superb sound for the price.

    Unfortunately during some decorating work last year both the DAC and its power supply were dropped down some stairs onto a hard floor, with the casing of both being damaged. The DAC still worked but obviously nows look a bit of a state.

    I have obtained some good quality brushed aluminium cases, to house both the DAC itself and the PSU. After some pondering though I have realised my DIY skills to put the DAC in a new box are probably someone lacking. I have assembled the new cases and taken the DAC to bits, and started to put together a replacement toroidal power supply, but thats about as far as it goes.

    Does anybody know of anyone who would be willing to do the hard bit?

    The DAC itself is a single PCB, it basically needs holes drilling in the new cases for inputs/outputs, power connector, and something done for the input select and on/off switches.

    Hi will

    We dont really see Isaac anymore. Perhaps he may show up again. People often re-surface every few years..
