I have to report the sad news that DaveK passed away on the 19th December from cancer. He used to post quite a bit on this forum and I got to know him fairly well, often conversing by email on all sorts of subjects although I never met him in person, something I will always regret.
Gazjam, Dave and I did lots of Beresford DAC upgrades together and collectively bought our Squeezebox Touch's to get a discount.
I will miss him.

Sad news, very sorry to hear.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Yes Andre. I had sent him a few emails without a reply and scoured the smaller hifi forums until I found a thread about him on DIY Audio Heaven.

Sad news indeed. I was wondering where he’d got to, as although we didn’t always see eye to eye, he used to pop in often and contribute his views.
Thanks for letting us know what’s happened, Jerry. I hope his wife Sue is coping as well as can be expected.
R.I.P, Dave.

I remember Dave. Sad loss.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
