Great Sounding DAC that works with HD freeview Channels.
3 Oct 2023
Verified Buyer
I discovered that the cheaper version of this DAC - the Blustream12AU, does not work with Freeview HD channels.

Having contacted Future Shop, they advised I should try this one to get all the available Freeview channels SD & HD, which I duly did.

I am very happy with this DAC and can confirm its great quality and compatibility across all channels.
