Someone just bought a digital camera that they were dying to try out. The only ongoing project around the shop is this STENDEC unit. The I/Os aren't hooked up yet, and I haven't worked out all the details on interfacing the Ultra AnalLog DAC yet. It has a 4-1 digital compression ratio. But here it is anyway.
Note the use of Wima caps as bypass only. (Are you reading this, Harry and Diceman?)

wellllllll ...
the board looks a bit tooo tidy..
the caps and IC aren't configured realisticly..
compression ratio ??? this is a DIY HI-fi forum! (at least)...
What is this thread about ?....
I think I still don't get it....
let's check that search engine......

Prof. Leach must be proud of you.
Now that you got the obvious clue, you have to decipher the rest.
No more hints.

Inspector Morse, indeed
No more clues from you either, Harry.
I understand our European friends not getting it, and maybe, just maybe, the Aussies. But the Americans, and "pommies" should. Must not be any Boy Scouts out there.

Well Jocko, I'm an aussie and used to be a boy scout and i know why the layout is so pretty 😀 also i agree with you that BrianGT's and HH's clues are like a slap in the face if your switched on to it. hehehe.
Why won't any europeans get it?

We have a winner!
Actually, two of them.
Only took a month, and too many hints.
The "he-he-he" is also 4-1 (times 3) for those who weren't Boy Scouts. Should have been a tip that it was an April Fools gag.
I expected stuff like:
"Hey, this board looks like some punter threw a bunch of parts on a board for no apparent reason. Other than to be a wise guy. No way this thing can work"
Yes.
"Stendec? What is that supposed to be? Don't you mean 'standac'? Not that 'standac' makes any more sense."
Stendac could mean:
STimpy and rEN DAC. But it didn't.
And the obvious one, the audiophile gee-whizz gaff:
"Wow! An UltraAnalog DAC! Where did you get that Jocko? Did you design a product for some compnay with that? Do you have any more around. Those things are supposed to be way cool sounding."
Yes, yes, and no. Product never built because they weren't as hot as the press hyped them up to be. One of those in any project ought to be a clue that it is an April Fool joke.
Honorable mentions to tschrama. English is not his native tongue, so he didn't get it. But he figured out for all the right reasons that perhaps he wasn't supposed to get it.
Now............I wonder when everyone will find Harry's? Actually, one person did. We warned you guys we we going to do one. I hope Elso is not annoyed be the amount of forum space taken up by this. [joke]
