Benchmark Dac1 HDR is excellent Ive had one for years. It takes a line level analogue in -- Make sure you get the right Benchmark model with the Audio input. On the forum for sale is a Mytek with an audio input that should suit you spec wise but Ive never owned one...

Thanks for the news. A long time Hypex user, tempted to buy a Fusion and the SEAS King R04Y. or something similar for a small room ( 16*10 ft) I did buy an ECM8000 mike and a UMC22 3 yrs ago and they are still in their boxes! Did try to find out more via the DIY audio thread but there was so...

Its interesting to note the different opinions. Ive just started using an new Celeron NUC as a music server, running W10/ JRiver -DNLA to 2 Renderers. The SMPS supply that came with it was awful. It runs at the full 19v, and generated sound that was as harsh as Ive heard for a while. The NUC is...

Pitty the old CU forum is no more. The issue of the high standby 20 watts was always a complaint as was the reliability. I had a DACXP and had issues with rear connector insertion /removal flexing the main PCB. and causing solder joint failure. I moved from Cyrus to Benchmark for the better, to...

If you fancy a little DIY - case and power supplies- the DACT card will provide top class results. The spec is superb and performance likewise. I use mine with a Denon 103 on a modded Technics. Full details are on their website http://www.dact.com/html/ct100_manual.html

You might find it usefull to have a look at the ASR forum. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-rme-adi-2-dac.2582/ I respect their reviews of DACs. I find them a nice balance of real world technical measurements and operational features. You...

Firstly thanks to BigJohn and Nobeone for their links. Having been away for a few days I did make the time to read and re read these and research further. To me this is clearly not new, a reapraisal with a slightly different approach to mounting ? I have asked twice for some test measurements...

I would like to ask two questions. If the cartridge is allowed to move outwith the range of traditional cart to arm control, as your device appears to do, what effect does this have on the life expectancy of a cartridge particularly the cantilever/suspension. Why wont you provide us with some...

The dynamat I used weighed 0.7gm. I did remove the cover that came with my 103 so weight increase was in the region of 0.6gm I have an underslung CB weight on my techie which can be tweaked very easily. The Funk weights around 2gm depending on the version.

This has been mentioned on the AoS forum by repreentatives of Funk. I recently tried some dynamat extreme in a similar application. It worked well but it needed more evaluation and tweaks to my arm to accept the increased cartridge weight and playing height. cost about 20p. For the...

A few years ago I got fed up with my Cyrus CD units failing and went on the lookout for something with respectable quality and excellent reliability. Being ex broadcast I went towards what was being produced for use in that environment with the knowledge that its designed for 24/7 operation and...
