Hi Kevan,

Thanks, it's a lovely sounding DAC.

I'll have a look for the serial but it was as new ex-dem so defo not S/H.

I went to an Audiologic 24MXL (since breathed on by Tony and also with Siemens Cca). Did you not have an AL?

Cheers
Jeff

Hi,

The link doesn't work ~ what DAC is this?

Hopefully this link will work:

My one isn't the 24/96 version but some have said that the upsampling adds some detail at the expense of some the musicality of the unit. I haven't heard an upsampling version so can't really confirm or otherwise.

OK this has to go to fund non-hi fi project.

Price dropped to £350.

Now a complete bargain
