WTD: DAC to about £150

[Idlewithnodrive]

Bit annoyed that I missed out on one of a couple of Micromega Microdacs recently but hey ho, win some, lose some.

So, does anybody have something similar available ?

A preference for slightly warmer and detailed presentation in the NOS styley but will consider anything half decent in good condition.

What have you ?

Thanks

Thanks Grant. I saw that but it is rather expensive for a Microdac. The 2 I missed out on were £80 each and I sold my own for £100 a couple of years ago.

My A A decoding engine is cheaper ;)

might not be your cuppa tea though

For a few dollars more you can have my Mk1 Rega DAC.

£240 delivered.

This could have been sold to me weeks ago.....Rich used to be so decisive..but now he's not so sure...it should read "a fist full of dollars"...

I didn't have a benchmark then, but now I do!

seriously MIke...sort yourself out a few more quid and buy the Rega from Rich...it's a stonker...smooth as silk...no harsh highs....should've been mine...but he wanted to keep it till he got his Bench Mark

Rega Dac is real british beef

As ever its personal taste --- I had the Moodlabs (Dice) myself and liked it, a John Kenny will be great too but outside budget probably ---- I am currently very happy with a miniwatt n4 which seems to be on special offer right now direct ( so I assume a new incarnation is on its way ) but I am really enjoying mine and (for me ONLY) I prefer the sound to Rega and also the MF M1Dac which I think is too easily overlooked mostly IMHO because of the company's sale and discounting approach but at heart the M1 is a nice DAC offering lots of inputs but if you can get by with just USB give http://www.miniwatt.com.hk/#!product a try ( its a great USB/SPDIF converter too ) I picked my used one up for £100 and it is money well spent for me.....

No idea how the DAC sounds but it certainly looks the business!

for a few quid more (again) you can have my AN DAC 0 (aka Struth's AN DAC 0) £200
