I still can't find a copy of that mag anywhere local!! My missus is going to have a look in WH Smith today. Let's hope she hits the jackpot for me.

I am thinking of running an HFC Best Buy special for the 2nd part of this month. It's cheaper than advertising. What surprises me though that when I ran the AoS Special a few months ago I only had one inquiry that mentioned AoS. So maybe my customers are quite prepared to pay the full price instead of saving a few quid.

Thanks Trailer.

I've scanned in the review from my copy of the February 2009 Hi-Fi Choice:



Well done Stan!

Stan, I have a high resolution copy of this file if you want it for your website. I'd have to post it to you though as it's about 30meg.

As luck would have it, I finally got a copy of the mag. Some good writing there. I guess I better update the info on my site so that potential customers are encouraged to read this thread.

Why is it that other components are roughly matched on price when comparisons are made and yet with DAC's no one bats an eyelid comparing £130 to £1200 components?

I have been asking that myself.

What the HIFI Choice articles does point out, and that touches on my reason for using certain components, is that the DAC chip sets I use were not so long ago also used in some of the world's most expensive DACs.
