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.


Say what?

here's some pix:

I'm watching an Arcam, an XTC and an
MF on eBay atm.....

Looks nice (very) but possibly a bit OTT for my purposes - the MF I'm
watching is only 27 nicker atm....

(The XTC is only 62 quid right now, but I expect that to climb before it's
done....)
