Now they have added Spotify music streaming on the Marantz MCR510 out of the box, it is a much more appealing little system!

Hi Audio_Elf, just checking the rear panel of my Naim DAC V1 there are 5 digital SPDIF inputs (two optical, three coaxial) and also an asynchronous USB digital input. I can't really see the need for analogue inputs as it is a digital to analogue converter - all you need to control the volume of ananalogue input is a standard pre amp.

Over the past six months they have launched the Audiolab QDac which lacks the balanced audio outputs and LCD screen of the MDAC but little else and for 60% of the cost - winner! Trying one out this weekend, will report back on sound quality and features.

As the standard of living gradually rises in China I think small volume manufactures such as MF will bring back production to the UK.
