Happy New Year

And to you! Is the USB input actually for an internal dac, or just a different way of getting analogue out from a PC?

If it has an inbuilt dac, do you know the specs, eg 24/192?

Thank you...

I have tried to find out about the USB, but the best I have is it is identified as HiFi_Link USB on the Mac, and I think is a inbuilt DAC but I cannot verify this as the Rave box is glued and not easy to open without damage, so I am unwilling to look for myself, and I am unable to confirm the specifications.

The Russ Andrews literature refers to the Pro HiFi link DAC that was sold at the time being the basis of the onboard DAC ".... The soundcard we’ve built into RAVE is based on the high performance of our Pro HiFi link, ..."

The amp is based on the Tripath digital chip and does sound good.

Summary of features:

USB input for directly connecting PC or Mac
3 phono inputs lind level for iPod or other MP3 player, CD or DVD players, TV
Mains input (all worldwide domestic voltages) or 12V/15V DC input
Speaker cable binding posts (accept bare wire, bananas or spades)

Size 55mm x 238mm x 168mm HxWxD

Any interest in the Rave....?

[pyeman]

Hoping someone will be interested in the amp...

Otherwise it is heading for the dark side of the evilbay...

Still available, and I can now add the Rave speakers into the deal at an extra £30 if you are looking for a quality second system, or something to add to a pc to have better sound.

Still available in the lock down, but able to post...
