Yes, a PSU1 powered Bitzie with optical input instead of optical output, USB input for signal only (not bus-powered), maybe a coaxial input instead of the coaxial output (or scrap coax connectivity completely) and an analogue input. Output would be a balanced output only. Case size of maybe double the size of the Bitzie and a price of £950. Just an idea. And the name of the product?? Well the basis is a mini-Majestic or mini-Maj and staying with the connotations to "magical" performance, I propose the name:

Graham Slee Mage

Like the little guy from the Final Fantasy IX video game. Tongue Small but powerful.

The LNER A4 class loco (Mallard) built in Doncaster (South Yorkshire...) did 126mph without needing new lines, or oil from the mid-east!

It was a bit mucky though... but muck at source, evenly scattered to the winds, and didn't cause acid-rain to fall on Finland.

Jobs were plenty in the coalfields - steel was dug out of the ground near Sc**thorpe - Sheffield processed some of it (Doncaster "Plant" being in the middle) - people had money to spend...

Some arse in Westminster decided electricity was better - bought boat loads of foreign coal and burnt it at high velocity in a few concentrated power stations - Finnish trees died - pits and steelworks closed - people became impoverished.

Back on topic, it was an idea to do a simple DAC, but 80 plus pages of suggestions brought about the Majestic. It could take me some time to do a one input DAC, but provided it's wanted, I can put it on my to do list.

We could make a remote power supply/USB cable adapter for the Bitzie in less time.

We're here to serve.

Lots of Friday fun here. I'll stick with my Majestic which is pretty compact for all the technology and connectivity it contains.

I keep putting off a Maj order until I have more money saved but won't be long now. Evil Smile
