    Question What to buy that would match or outperform my D10 but allow more inputs?

    Hi, thank you so much for this. I read what you had said, looked at the charts and was convinced to give it a go. I then went looking, (I am in UK) for one to buy and could not find a D50s in stock anywhere. I found I could get one quite easily on ebay from China but waiting up to a month for...

    Audiophile USB cables and What HI-FI

    When looking at internet photographs on my PC monitor I was concerned that the digital signal carried along the HDMI lead between PC and screen could be improved so I bought a really expensive cable but could not see the slightest difference. I asked BT if they'll upgrade the telephone cables...

    Worth getting a DAC for Freeview radio?

    Maybe he gets analog out of Scart, maybe when he talks about not having RCA he means for the digital output, complaining only optical is avaiable?
