I’ve got a SW1X DAC1 Standard Passive in Silver.

Well reviewed & favourable comparison to the Audio Note DAC 0.1 & AN DAC 1 for a fraction of the price. It has a zero feedback valve output stage.

Looking for £575 including delivery.

I've also got a Jolida Glass FX Mk2 also in silver. It includes the superlative "Modwright Truth" cap upgrades. Untouchable for the money, but the SW1X represents a significant improvement.

Looking for £325 including delivery.

You can have either on approval, so if you don’t get on with it you can return it & just cover the delivery costs.

The SW1x is the much better of the 2 Imho

Hi, I have a rather old Wadia 15 This uses the PCM63 chip so plays redbook only but for me that is no handicap. Also have a Bryston BDP-1 which I seldom use. The Bryston is an extremely well received and reviews praise it highly.

The Wadia makes music.
