Room for up to 7 for an afternoon of digital music via a CD transport and some DACs. You're welcome to bring an interesting DAC along to compare to others. The format of the day will be decided once we have an idea of who is coming and what they're bringing.

I'll provide pizza or similar mid-afternoon.

[Hap Hazzard]

I would like to pop along to this Ian , but I think you have heard most of my DAC’s.

I could bring along an Audio Gd C39 mk3 pre amp if you want a listen and tell me what you think of it.

 

[mmichbam]

I’d like to come to this if that’s ok. I don’t have a DAC to bring unfortunately.

 

[Lurch]

Pencil me in please Ian (mum ill so not sure what will happen).
I will bring my heavily pimped Black Ice DSD. If you have a modem/ethernet port close by I could bring my ZenITH 3 as another digital source.

 

[RJK]

I would love to come Ian...DAC is the next upgrade for me. I can bring my Audiolab M-DAC (the original one, with Westlake upgrades) and if I can persuade my mate Paul to come along too he will bring his LessLoss Echo's End Reference DAC.

 

[mayebaza]

Far too long my friend, please count me in

 

[bullinachinashop]

I would really like to attend if there's space, I would learn a lot and would be great to meet some Wammers!

I currently have one lightly and one highly modded Jolida Glass FX and can bring both if there's interest

Thanks
Ross

Hi Ian, long time no see! I’d love to come along if there is space please.

 

[ian917]

I'll open up the subs bench. There are some 'maybes', so spots may open up.

 

[bigrod]

Put me on the subs bench Ian
Kindest regards Julian

If I can make it (mums health) be good to put my maxed out BI against your highly modded Jolida.

Meitner DAC ?

 

[Jailbreaker]

Hi Ian,

Put me on the subs bench please. Can bring a cheap dac to get the day off to a lowly start.

Cheers

Hi Ian.
Gonna have to pull out as mum not that good at the moment.

No problem. Some things are far more important than bakeoffs. Keep well.

 

[Amormusic]

Hi Ian,

I'm very late to the thread, but would like to join subs bench please.

Will bring Arcam D33 if wanted.

Thanks,
Pete

 

[dohraeme]

Meitner DAC ?

Could be. I've got a couple of nice DACs here at the moment so could bring a NOS DAC if that's what people would like to hear.

 

[Hap Hazzard]

Is there still free parking on your street on Sunday Ian ?

My old van struggled under the public car park barrier last time I visited on a Saturday, think I twated my roof rack on it

If not, I’ll use her car, she doesn’t know that yet.

There are no parking restrictions, other than some marked disabled spaces, on a Sunday.
