Thats a good way of classification.

I've got the cheapish Dacmagic and do wonder what else is out there but getting to hear it in my system is another matter.
After reading IWC Doppel and his reviews which seemed fairly extensive, he seemed to be in favour of the DacMagic for the price but lets face it we all like to hear good things on what we have purchased.
Sounds like you could be a Dacaholic. Whats your preferred Dac after the expensive one and how are they used; server source, CD whatever. I am keen to see what else is available but its a jump in the dark and an expensive one at that.
So if you got one from inside the EU youd have to pay import tax and VAT on it when you brought it into the UK?Import tax, pp and 20% vat adds up.
needless to say, it can be very hard working here…
Any questions, we well be happy to answer – and looking forward to feedback if any of you have a chance to audition the units…
John,
Great to see the designer of the gear posting is it. Keep at it.
Also, where can we buy the “Scottish Highlands Fisherman’s Wives Nose Flute Quartet” recorded at full 24/96?

The DQ should be in the UK in next couple of months (I’m not 100% sure, but expect retail around GBP500), the smaller ffotprint MDAC released just after Christmas, around GBP399 - Digital only form... (No Analogue Line Level Pre)
There’s couple of DQ’s floating around, I well hunt one down and take some pictures. They are basically the CDQ but without the CD… but with a nice volume control knob on the front panel – I hate pressing buttons to adjust Volume…

The problem is to find partnering Amplifiers / Speakers that will do the 8200CD/CDQ/DQ justice at ANYWHERE near the price (Really dont ask me .) I well (maybe) be designing a new amplifier for AudioLab to match but this is still 6 to 9 months away
