    Poo. That is crap service.

    I've a SMSL SD793ii you can borrow, if you like.
    Small box but powerful output.
    It's only got digital inputs, though - RCA and TOSLINK

    Thank you for your kind offer Jerry, which may be the way to go for me, but since I've learned what the Myryad amp can do (four inputs, enabling connection of CD, Phono, etc and use as a preamp too), I'm going to spend a little time trying to source one first.

    My Audion Silver Night is not an integrated, but a single input power amp with a volume control. This means plugging and unplugging leads each time I want to change source, and the Myryad would enable me to select sources without having to do this. My only concern is whether chucking the Myryad into the audio chain would degrade the sound, but my cloth ears probably wouldn't notice.

    I have a question for you though. My CD player has a digital out that looks like a single RCA socket-does a single phono lead go from this to the one on your DAC?

    You will have guessed by now that I'm a complete numpty with things technical, and if you can spot any holes in my ideas I would welcome your wise words.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Looking at the User Manual for your Densen CD player online, I think it is a BNC digital output socket, for which you will need a small adapter to use with a standard RCA phono cable.
    Happily, I can supply one of those.

    But if you now fancy full multi-input pre-amp functionality, then you will need to look elsewhere.

    Thank you guys. I thinks it's time I dragged my luddite ass into the 21st century, so I would like to take you up on your offer to loan me your DAC, Jerry.

    I may then be able to get into some streaming too, but my brain can only handle learning one thing per day, and I've used up today's quota reading your posts

    No problem, Steve.
    I've had a clearout of my PM box so I no longer have your name & address.
    Please remind me by PM!
