... and a more extended view - with, far left, my new DAC peeping into the pic.

A SMSL M8 DAC with a Chinese linear PSU (with the large red LED voltage display).
The DAC is only just larger than a pack of playing cards but it has a serious tech-spec and it sounds seriously good. The PSU was a very effective upgrade (only about £50 direct from PRC).
The
Review of the M8 DAC that tempted me into trying it when one came along used on eBay.
It's a shame that the DAC is silver and the PSU is black :doh: but hey-ho.
I connect the DAC to my music streaming laptop via a Halide Bridge USB to digital co-ax converter.
Bottom left is my ancient Arcam DV29 DVDP, for DVDs and also used as a rather good CD transport.
