Ok, friends selling his old head unit on E-bay ( or really has already sold ) . The purchaser e-mails him back stating that this is not the one I wanted! My friend had “barrowed” a pic from another seller to post on his bid site. It wasn’t the same model but a couple grades down, the CDA 7840 – my friend had sent him a much better CDA 7845. The buyer had the one complaint that the head unit ( 7840 ) has “M DAC” vs. the ( 7845 ) Regulated 1 Bit DAC. He stated that was the whole reason that he wanted it. I was confused at first, I know the M DAC is the newer Digi – to – Analog converter but didn’t know how much or a difference it would make. BUT when I thought about it his 7845 never could play burned CDs but the next generations could, the next generations that had the M DAC.

Has anyone heard of this before ? it kinda makes sense – just checking if anyone else has run into this

TIA!

 

Ahrmn

 

I don't really know the answer to that question, but:
It really doesn't matter... The guy has a valid complaint.. Your buddy misrepresented the item.

 

Yes this is very true * speaks the one who doesn't use E-bay *

Guys just being pretty irate about getting a 500$ HU vs. a 375$ Oh well.

 

Technically he shouldn't really be pissed coz he's getting something that's better.

That was kinda false advertising on your buddy's part though, so yeah the buyer does have a legit complaint, better or not.

 

M Dac is a cheaper way of doing analog to digital conversion. It is true that it will play burned CD's, but so will some of the other older CD player with 1 Bit DAC.
