I think he wants to improve the 640.

I have one, use it as a experiment player to test clocks, dacs non-os vs os i/v's and more. The MAB8421 is faulty, i have to move CD drawer by hand now.

I bought another one, a CD660 (with FTS) for 12 euro's on ebay and made a solid MDF cabinet for it. Want in it four dacs parallel with shift registers, but i am thinking of building the ultimate dac from Ecdesigns too.
