Many thanks to all for making us newbies feel so welcome; to J and D for the info, demo and facilities and to John Martyn in particular, for his patience and not getting hacked off doing the same number over, and over and over...

Biggest takeaways of the evening (for me) were that computer/dac as a source is a revelation, that pc's (based on last nights evidence), are going the same route as cd, and that Jaffa cake packets are too damned small!

Thank you all for the comments. It was an absolute pleasure to host the night.

I am surprised only one pack of Jaffas was eaten (possibly because a lot of talking went on!)

We have deleted the first minute of the John Martyn track and now enjoy the second half only.

Some of you were inquiring about prices, so;

April Music Eximus DP1 is €3,010.
iFfi iDAC is €300.
iFi headphone amp is €250.
iFi USB power supply is €200.

Thanks again,

Jonathan

Sounds like a great evening, I hope to make it the next night. Glad to read that the John Martyn music selected for the evening did not finish the way the 'Sonny Boy' episode of Jeeves and Wooster ended....:)
It's OK, if there is no bread I will eat cake.

Beware of a thin chef!

Apologies,
