For Sale: Tag Mclaren DAC20.
I bought this in 2003 directly from Tag Mclaren. The original packing note is included.

The DAC20 was Tag’s upgraded version of the Audiolab 8000DAC which had already garnered excellent reviews. The DAC20 was an improvement on that. It also has HDCD decoding capability.

Input and output flexibility is excellent :
Outputs: 2 sets of RCA stereo outputs, 1 RCA digital output
Digital Inputs: 2 RCA, 1 BNC, 3 TOSLINK optical, 1 XLR

It’s in overall excellent condition; there’s some faint marking to the top plate left from the duster, one other small scratch to the top plate and a faint mark on the facia to the right of the blue led which doesn't show on photos.

The unit has been checked over by Kevin Green the Tag specialist, at the audio cellar [url]http://www.theaudiocellar.co.uk/ (http://s1174.photobucket.com/user/eisenach2/media/DSC_0688_zpsvtd512sa.jpg.html) .

It’s in perfect working order, in it’s original box, with the original instruction booklet in it’s CD case and a mains cable, though that may not be the original one.

For an extra £50 I can include an M2Tech HiFace (first version) which means you can link your computer to this excellent DAC and make it really modern !

It's the BNC version, but I'll include an adapter for RCA cables.
