Muz Hi, rrp is Euros 800 , we are running an introductory offer for existing Young owners though.

Rocket Hi, the Young does sound a bit better with the external power supply,although the stock supply is absolutely fine, we encourage everyone to listen to everything at home and make up your own mind.

Thanx Keith.

btw, exellent business policy!

Rocket you have to hear stuff in your own system ,there really isn't any other way, although I heard it said that some can pick out the contribution of one unit in a completely unfamiliar system in a completely unfamiliar room!

Yes Keith, I know what you mean... any business could be risky from time to time but, you know what they say: "no pain, no game"...
And yes, at the moment I am typing this post Young DAC is "singing" in my setup.

More expensive doesn't mean better. Look at this list http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Computer-Audiophile-Suggested-Hardware-List

I see that the Lavry and DAC1 have been removed. Well worth a read.

Cheers,

Not to be cynical, but if you look at CA's recommended hardware list and companies advertising on there, there seems to be quite a correlation! I do find the forums interesting though!

Rocket Hi, that's great, I am listening to the Young 'junior' the EVO dac, using the EVO to connect to my PC and Trying to figure out how to connect the external word clock!

Keith, can the EVO clock be used with the Young ?

James Hi, I will check,but I don't believe it will as the Young doesn't have a 'clock in' input.
