So they are the Metrum Acosutics DAC 2 modules. Each module includes two of the DAC 1 modules and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip; this combination vastly increases the capability of the standard Musette; elevating it to Menuet territory (which retailed for £1500 more).
The modules can be fitted by hand, so let's pop the lid off. Beautiful internals...
The old modules pop out with a little pressure, secured by pins to the board. Note the dot on top, it's for orientation. Don't get it wrong now!
All done! £150 well spent...now let's enjoy the upgrade!
The standard Musette is already very accomplished. This upgrade is a degree of audibly noticeable bang for next to nothing.
