Forum rules
Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?
To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:
a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.
For sale is a lovely SW1X Audio Design DAC in brilliant condition.
DAC I is an extremely musical DAC– a radical move away from current production mainstream (regardless of the price level) DACs, which all tend to sound mechanical and artificial in comparison.
DAC I is NOS (non oversampling) by design. The signal chain looks like this:
Input > SPDIF receiver chip > current out DAC chip > I/U conversion >Valve Output stage – that is it!
In essence the DAC I is 1 x TDA1543 chip directly connected to CS8412/14 receiver chip in NOS (non over-sampling), i.e. zero digital filtering mode.
Has the option of going to 24bit /96 khz and the standard 16bit / 44 khz files.
