I've contact the seller via Gumtree for the System 8's... If he comes back with a decent offer I may well try them out....Originally Posted by walpurgis
Do you know if they use the same driver as the System 800's or similar ?? Thanks for your help Geoff...

thanks for pointing this out (reference SMSL DAC posted earlier - thought I was replying to a particular post), picked it up to use with blu ray player to hopefully let me lose a separate cd player to save some space.

yes just under £24 with postage which I think is a great price. Thing is after looking at the DAC I ended up trawling ebay last night after a few glasses of wine which is always dangerous. Ended up buying a small 70's pioneer amp I don't really need (I only just picked up a similar one middle of last week) and for which there wasn't even a photo! actually I completed the deal this morning after exchange of offers so I can't really blame the drink but I probably wouldn't have got interested in the first place without the wine.

An SA5300, posting looked a bit iffy but after an exchange of messages seemed genuine so took the risk, £25 including postage. Picked up a SA7300 last week which I really like. The SA5300 isn't very powerful but should be fine for me.
