I look forward to your Team DAC review. :-)


I wonder why the dac has 'main' and 'aux' outputs? perhaps it can
decode four channels at once? it has two phillips DACs in it I think.


How many inputs? Any switches on the front?


2 inputs - optical and coax, but it seems only one may be used at once.

two selector switches to choose the input (and one on the back to select

the default on powerup, heh.)

theres a switch labelled 'phase'. Wonder what that does?





Inverts the phase which can sometimes improve the sound. (Buggered if I know
how or why though......)
