Anybody got a DAC they want to sell? Preferably with more than one input

'heartbeat' problem from the analogue outs! (Common on these,
apparently...??)

Sure you don't mean a 'Toppy'? ;-)



No, a Tommy - the 'heartbeat is a well-known problem and is only hard disk
activity. The quick way out is wang the sound through either of the two
digital outs into a DAC or an AV amp with digital in. I got a Verti with a
view to passing on the Tommy but kept it despite the Verti being better in a
lot of respects - Tommies grow on you!! (The remote is so *slick* compared
with the others!)

Here's some on eBay for loopy prices atm, in case anyone's interested:

Not noticed a problem with mine.

Swim's got a Toppy - no 'heartbeat' on hers either....

Now I suppose you want to know what a 'Verti' is? :-)

Here's one at a *bargain* price atm (about 170 new):

Arguably the best of the lot with PIP and subby recording &c., but I still
prefer the Tommy....

Subby?

(Sub-titles! ;-)
