I have not yet seen it but my understanding is it is DUAL module to allow a user to use both the server and the new transport into the reference dac. The current module only accepts one AKASA input. I am looking foward to hearing and seeing it in MOC and then perhaps later this year having it in my room and system. I do not believe ( although I could be mistaken) that it is different sonically.Hi Elliot. Is the new Akasa DUAL Optical module better than the old mudule?
i don't suppose there will be any mechanism to allow sharing the stand alone Server Power Supply with the Transport? i'm expecting that they would be the same for both, but maybe technically that won't be how it is? but it would make acquisition and optimization of the transport much less costly. but maybe just plugging and un plugging that Akasa DC cable is workable? considering how large those connectors are maybe not a good idea and over time could compromise the connection. probably need to order a longer Akasa DC cable to make that a consideration.I have not yet seen it but my understanding is it is DUAL module to allow a user to use both the server and the new transport into the reference dac.

first world problems to ponder for sure.
"In tandem with the Reference Transport, we’re also introducing the new Akasa DUAL Optical module. This redesigned and enhanced module builds upon the original Akasa Optical Module, adding an optical input for the Reference Transport and further refining the overall playback quality."I have not yet seen it but my understanding is it is DUAL module to allow a user to use both the server and the new transport into the reference dac.

I am going to Munich and I will get the scoop there. I don't know anymore than I stated . It will be an exciting show as it looks like there is a bunch of new cool stuff coming to market."In tandem with the Reference Transport, we’re also introducing the new Akasa DUAL Optical module.

I read these in https://www.monoandstereo.com/wadax-reference-transport/
So I would like to know more information.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.I am going to Munich and I will get the scoop there. I don't know anymore than I stated . It will be an exciting show as it looks like there is a bunch of new cool stuff coming to market.
Hi Steve - as it has been explained to me, there have been minor changes to the dual Akasa module. There has been some optimization of the design the accommodate the new transport. It will have little (if any) sonic impact on the server.Hi Elliot. Is the new Akasa DUAL Optical module better than the old mudule?
