Sorry to hear about the Acram going wrong. I hope that you are able to get it fixed without too much trouble.
Oh well.At least 2 of my CDs are pre-emphasised.
So do I nowOriginally posted by Paul Ranson
I have a proper DAC that does it but doesn't tell me.
Well the beer was good...Originally posted by lowrider
Keeping my fingers crossed... :beer:
Antonio, I did wonder about both of these. I have heard several systems at Bristol making very nice sounds only to discover a DV27 spinning the discs. Thing is I rarely watch movies and my PC can play them already anyway. I'd rather my cash was spent getting the most out of red book CDs rather than all that superfluous video circuitry. The DV27 is a fine machine though for anyone who wants high quality CD and DVD in one box.Originally posted by lowrider
You could get a pretty good Arcam FMJ DV27 used for that amount...
Or the Denon 2900 that Merlin brags so much about...
Yes, forgot to mention that one. There don't seem to be any about at the moment.Originally posted by julian2002
why not look for an ex demo or 2nd hand fmj 23(?) with the ring dac?
...then I can pull them out again and fit decent onesOriginally posted by domfjbrown
I reckon it's a buggered op amp in the output stage. Why not pop the hood, locate the op amps, and then buy cheapo replacements from Maplin or RS. If it doesn't fix it, you've only lost around £5If it works.... :banana: :banana: :banana:

Hmmmm. I was decidedly underwhelmed by the DAC20. It simply wasn't in the same class as the Alpha 9. I think the TAG would be a step backwards.
