HiFi Subjectivist ¦ Audio Forum ¦ NVA User Group

Venue - my place around 10 miles west of Durham City.

Dates - I'm looking at these Saturdays: 21/4, 5/5 , 19/5. Usual 10-4ish day. Cuppas and sarnies provided.

Please advise any dates that you can make.

Plan is to compare different DACs - please advise what DAC(s) you can bring along. I have Qobuz CD quality streaming so it's not essential to bring files / CDs with you. Plus comparing some interconnects - I have NVA, Van Den Hul and DNM, Oliver (Bigman80) has developed a set to his own design...and whatever everyone else wants to bring.

If you can't get to the day you could still send items to me to feature in the bake-off - drop off to me, or I can share the postage with you.

Here are the threads from a couple of previous bake-offs at my place:

PM if interested in attending or sending kit...

5th May is looking most likely.

Doc - any chance we can borrow your £100 Dac, SPDIF, LPSU combo for that weekend?

Bigman - can you make it with / send a set of your Spotfire interconnects?

Herbie07, Toontrev, Quarknosis, herbie07, Andy831 - please confirm attendance and any interconnects / dacs you can bring along.

Karatestu and any other northern based members - spaces still available, please reply here.

All members - feel free to send us dacs / interconnects to be included on the day.

Members of other forums - very welcome. Join HFS and reply here or PM.

Cheers,

Paul

Unfortunately I'm rota'd in to work weekends until 26th May but I can send a Beresford Caiman Mk2 DAC.

I have just ordered the cheap DAC but need to place an order for the LPSU to go with it.

No problem with sending cheapy. Still trying to see if I can accompany them.

Cool. Lifts to / from station, bed, tea etc all on standby...

Hi Paul
I can bring along the cheapy but would need the PSU. May also have a different dac by the time 5th comes around. Lots of gear changes in progress at the moment.
cheers
Trevor

Cheers, Trev. See you on the 5th.

Thanks Quark. Pop by for a cuppa and music whenever you can...

I should be able to make the 5th; just a couple of ICs to contribute, unless a cd player would be useful?
