How to operate it?
In fact the display is not that important. I only want for now to be able to use the preamp and to do so I need to know how the 9 pin connector work ( 1 row of 4 pins and one of 5 ) to be able to select a source , use the stand-by button and use the potentiometer. But I have no idea of how does this beast works and how to know it...
So if any of you have any idea.

Yes if you could take a closer look that would definitely help me Holger
Do you have any idea of the pinout of the display and control that is one the board? And do you know what type of rotary encoder would work best for the potentiometer.
I dont know if it will be hard to make it work but it is indeed really instructive.
I posted a mail to mark levinson to know if the could send me a copy of the schematics of the ML 38 preamp and they never replied (not even to tell me no)

Mr Daniel,
is that the same Mark Levinson who is selling the Korsun (a cheap chinese amp = about 1650 rmby - $200) for $1600 and more while changing the name into Red Rose and ONE part inside ? And don't tell me I'm wrong, I had this amp shipped to me in the beginning of this year through a friend of mine who lives in Guangho and I bought and returned a Red Rose through Amazon.com !!!!!!!
It was in my place just long enough to see if they were identical (and they were!!!!!!! beeeuuuuuuuhhhhh!)
I think he changed the name into Red Rose and the rest is sad history for High End equipment.
Except for writing this story, I hate these practices so much that I even insisted that the Lexus dealer remove the radio from my wife's car (a Levinson product)
I call it despicable sales practices

I actually bought this board from Singapore at : http://www.zenn.com.sg/mark_levinson_parts.htm
they said that they bought a ML bankrupt balance stock
and they had other nice item like a 30.5 board (with no power supply GLUP!?!)
Well they sold alot of these board... They must be someone like me somewhere trying to make this beast work...
AHHHH.....

Your best bet is finding an authorized ML dealer, tell them what you got and ask for a schematic. Without schematic you might not be able to use all the features on your board. How much was shipping? Seems like a very good deal, but without schematic and some additional parts it may be quite useless.
After contemplating for a while, I decided to get myself one of those boards as well. Where can you get almost complete, top notch preamp for $145?
When I receive the board, I will contact my local ML dealer (Bracks) and try to get schematic form them. From what I noticed so far, it's just needed for buttons logic and encoder type/ connection.
I can only regret I've found this place too late. A complete 36S DAC has been sold already too, for $300

Yeah! That`s what I figurated out! I almost bought for myself the 30.5 DAC board, but there was no power supply and after a second tought I didnt bought it because of the complexity of bulding a ML reference power supply clone...
Peter: If you are able to get your hand of the schematics I would really apreciate if you could help me with this one

Hi guys! I just bought myself a #38 board too, but can't get it to work
There's no way I can get the board out of standby mode, though at least I think everything is working fine. If anyone reading this can provide me a schematic, I would be most willing to buy it from you! Thanks for reading, any help would be greatly appreciated.
