** Have a look on eBay - dozens of 'em on offer.

Or this mob in the UK:

He's looking for the S1 (Celected) Crown variant, production ceased
about 2,000 and they are highly prized http://goo.gl/aUnL
and there are lots of fakes and lower spec copies around.

So what is so special then?
If its some replacement maybe something can be cobbled together from more
modern chips.

It is in my Meridian D600 speakers. It was distorting and making a
crackly noise :-(

Ask Meridian?

How do you know it is the DAC chip that is causing the problems?

Slainte,

If the chip is cooled it is okay - apply heat with soldering iron and it
starts....

I\'d remake all the solder joints before changing the chip. Get rid of
all the original solder with wick, then re-apply new stuff. Also get
as powerful a magnifying glass as you can and look for any sign of
cracking of the tracks nearby.

This does need doing first, but sadly I suspect that you have got the
diagnosis right.

Why bother?

DAC chip technology has moved on since then.
