This is making me think – Is all that space inside really needed? Is it nessicary to prevent overheating, or can I mod my Digi to be supper thin, light and portable by putting it in a different casing?
The back plate probably impacts quite a lot , the depth needed for midi sockets etc.
But feel free to hack / saw your own box . Stay away from mine , it’s fine how it is.
I read a while ago how a very popular brand of terrible sounding headphones added weight to give the impression of build quality , maybe weight BEATS quality for some people ?
I get my DT in about two weeks. Will have a closwr look at this, fancy about a device kike the DT be portable as a novation circuit.
Thing that gets me thinking is the PSUs. Would like to only have one inlet, so use the current one. The internal PSU accepts like up to 14V, better 12V DC, the battery needs a special LiPo/LiIon charger with typically 16.8V. So to use only one PSU with 12V, one has to build the LiPo charger in the DT and buckle up the 12V to 16.8V. All possible, but it needs a lot of the space that I could otherwise have used for the battery itself.
Anyone with ideas to this or does anyone know a lipp with 12V input?
Well I tend to think DIN are more reliable, never had a cable problem with my 20 years old cables, but I guess 3.5mm may become the new standard, being used for small/flat gear, problably more practical for modular things…
I’m getting old…so is DIN!
