Tír Na HiFi

As I said before Christmas, I am happy to send out (or to bring to anybody in Dublin)
- modified Hiface USB - SPDIF output + RF attenuators + PS
- modified Hiface USB + DAC device - analogue output + PS
To anybody who wants to try these out in their home system.

This could just be a listening session & I take it away afterwards or I can leave it with them for a week if they secure it with a €300 paypal payment in advance. This would be fully refundable once returned in the same condition as received. So apart from any postage this would be at no cost to the end-user.

The modified Hiface is reviewed here in MK1 & MK2 form. http://tirnahifi.org/reviews/?page_id=193
The modified Hiface DAC hasn't been reviewed yet but will be getting a face-off session against a M2tech Young DAC (£700) in the near future, courtesy of Claus.

Ivor volunteered & was promised to be first in line for this & I would be happy to bring this to his house anytime he suggests!

Could others post here if they are interested, please.

Mad busy this coming weekend but pencil me in for the 5th or 6th Feb if that's ok. You know where I am.
Might I suggest you load something familiar/standard on the laptop such as The Dali CD? It means we can easily do direct and quick comparisons between sources.

Sure, I'll do that!

Sounds like a good idea - where do I get the Dali CD? I suppose I could copy any CD onto disk at the time of test also?

Well I have a copy here (obviously) so yeah, while we're plugging and unplugging it can be ripped.

Ivor, I know it's short notice but would you be interested in a listening session tomorrow, Sat 29th? No problem if it doesn't suit. Maybe Fran will be around too - I'm seeing him tonight & will ask him.

That was the original plan.....

Oh, sorry, I didn't remember - hope I didn't appear pushy then!
