RE: DAC

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

I saw this on ebay, but sadly it's no use to me - coax not optical in, and<= BR> it only supports 44Khz input.
The internet radio stations I listen to xmit 22 or 32, of which only 32 is<= BR> supported by the Audiotron (a limitation of the toslink spec, not of the AT=
per-se), so I don't really want to limit it even further..... 

Will keep my eyes out on ebay for a few days, though may just end up gettin= g
the cambridge audio one Rob Mouser mentioned.

thanks for looking,


Tony
