I have friends who use one in NZ and another in South Africa. As mentioned, not cheap, but then most things that are any good (except maybe sex) aren't cheap.

I use one with my Magnum Dynalab MD-105. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochawe Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 MD-105 is superb. No DAC. My source is Esoteric Grandioso K1 SACD. Retail cost for MD-105 is $3,700 AUD. I purchased a second hand unit from Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am extremely happy with it and it was in another league compared even to Esoteric's previous 5 box flagship P-01/D-01/G-ORb and it's performance was so far beyond my previous P-03/D-03/G-0s rig upgrading to the K1 was a no brainer as they say.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not inexpensive, but having heard most of the high end digital sources for this level of performance it is relatively good value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would inquire with Len Wallis in Sydney about that, they have Magnum fm radio I forget which model in their reference room to purchase new, so would imagine they have access to the rest of the range.

I received quote from Len Wallis, Sydney which is the price I mentioned in my earlier post. That is also where I bought my Magnum Dynalab aerial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlov Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Just an update, thanks again for all your responses. i bought the adapters for the coaxial cable and I have plugged it to the wall as I have mentioned before my flat has two wall inputs and I have used the free one (White cable in the picture) as the other one is used for the tv. Everything seems to be working well some stations have better reception than others, i.e. ABC Classic and Smooth are great, WSFM is just ok but I’m happy with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
