Hello everyone, I after the above chip from 1990-95

Does anybody know of a UK distributor likely to have old stock?

Many thanks

** 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 :-(

Why bother?

DAC chip technology has moved on since then.

But is there a 'drop in' replacement he can use in his D600 speakers? For
all I know, there may be a fix using a newer DAC, which is why contacting
Meridian is worth a try.

And TBH I suspect replacing with a normal version of the DAC might actually
sound fine. :-) But I think it makes sense to try and restore to original
if possible if he wants to go on using the speakers.

Slainte,
