    Hmm. I've been thinking about changing my DAC. I think this is one option. Or a Rega DAC.

    I've heard Rega DACS. I've not heard one that compares to the Theta.

    I was very happy with the DS Pro Progeny until I moved to a Monarchy Audio M22B and even then there was little between them really.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Seems an expensive way to buy a 42mm flat washer. I've got a pack of these that cost me about three quid!

    Just another example of daft French prices. You should trawl French eBay. Some of the second hand prices are unreal. An old tuner that might reach £5 if you are lucky over in the UK would start at €35 here. I've sold a couple of Sony bits and I doubled what I paid for the nine bits of a whole system.

    The French seem to see value where the UK would bin it.

    Well, I put in what I thought was a lowball offer, and it was accepted! Hoping to get it next week. Bargain!
    I'm hoping that this will be an upgrade on my Cambridge Audio Azur DACmagic.
