If this isn't affordable digital esoterica, we don't know what is! This quirky DAC was launched in 2015 and is still on sale now, yet it uses tech that first appeared in the mid nineteen eighties!

Mike and David are totally beguiled by how this slinky little box sounds. By modern standards its 16-bit, 4x oversampling tech is terrible, yet it's a wonderful music maker. Poor connectivity and compatibility mean that it isn't for everyone, but hardcore digital geeks will adore it.

Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features the guys' unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.

So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below. And don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!

The eighties-tastic title tune is called ‘UFO/Mike’s Jumper’, and used with the express permission of our old pal and rights holder Simon Lythe.
