QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 Guys, before we make pre-mature conclusions, let the product hit the market. Case in point: I heard a new Tsunami decoder installed recently inside of an HO steamer's tender. At first I was not very impressed with it.......then a friend of mine who is an expert help diagnose the problem. The tender was not properly baffled! Baffling, just like the speaker quality makes all the difference in the world so I knew then not judge the Tsunami's performance based on an improper installation. The owner is now going to "re-baffle" his tender. So, JPM, in the case of the Digitrax sound decoder demo that your friend heard, consider that there may have been factors involved that left him with a less-than-positive impression. So far, several of the modelers that have seen a demo of this decoder have reported positive impressions on the Yahoo DCC forums. Additionally, this new Digitrax sound decoder is designed to be comparable to a Soundtraxx DSX, not a Tsunami, which offers more features.. I'm only suggesting that we wait for customer feedback before praising or tarnishing the decoder... Peace and High Greens

QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker Another point- the Digitrax sound decoders can't POSSIBLY go down the MRC path - the motor drive portion is the same as the existing Digitrax decoders, so right there we have a better motor drive AND no problems reading back CV values. Lack of readback in the MRC decoders, ESPECIALLY a completely brand new one, is inexcusable. --Randy
