AUDIO BIT:

Anybody got a DAC they want to sell? Preferably with more
than one input (switchable, coax and/or optical) - don't
need to be too posh, it's only to get sound off my Tommy
(PVR) into a stereo amp - I get a little 'heartbeat'
problem from the analogue outs! (Common on these,
apparently...??)


IME the classic really good cheap DACs on the market are the Technics SHAC
300 and SHAC 500. Sold as surround decoders, they do an excellent job on
stereo sources through their front outs. They have amazing resistance to
jitter from dicey sources.

They still come up on the U.S. eBay from time to time. Don't know how many
were ever sold in the UK.



Not too keen on the idea of 'front connectors' for reasons of tidyness. I'm
watching an Arcam, an XTC and an MF on eBay atm.....
