From the numbers on the front I’m guessing it’s a DAC

Ah, @Kevin’s?

Ah, hence the need for optical cables?

Move over Poirot, I’ve got the detective shit covered.

@SAP7 couldn’t have got there any quicker, you should join the Flying Squad.

The parcel arrived pretty quickly too, according to their website it wasn’t due until tomorrow!
Glad it got there safely

What is it?

I just happened to do a quick tracking check on it before I went to work, and it showed as out for delivery, so I had to drag Ellie out of bed so that she’d get to the door before the courier died of boredom/left a card.

Eastern Electric Minimax DAC

Wasn’t sure if it was a pre or dac

Had one of the EE amps some years ago,really liked it

It’s a nice sounding unit, for a digital doohickey thingumyjig.

I prefer it’s ss presentation (it has the Burson V5 op-amps fitted) to valve.

pretty sure it says Rega on the front, and box, but I know feck all about Rega

Wrong DAC. There are two in recent discussion!

New new thing. Early days in listening, but I can discern the lyrics through Case Lang Viers where before some were not clear (and my old 32/384 Northern Fidelity DACs are pretty good).

From me he could probably fund a wheel nut, most of that lot is secondhand. Only the speakers and DAC were new from AN and even then it was nearly half list price.

Looks sweet to me. If the first pic is you listening position, how’s the soundstage with the K’s? Does it feel like you need to be closer? If not, they could work for me too.
