thanks for all your advice. In the end ,the used m-dac turned out not be
mint -the seller had "forgotten" to mention the ding on the front, so i
passed on that one. I think i will audition the m-dac plus in my home
and see what impressions I have

I would agree with the previous posts.. I wouldn't worry about 24/192

Get the second hand one. It's a nice well made piece of kit.
If you've got money to burn, spend it on speakers.
I doubt very much you would be able to hear the difference between any

I am looking for some advice please on whether to go with a mint but
second hand audiolab m-dac for £340 (RRP is £600) - or go the whole hog
and buy the new upgraded version, the m-dac plus for £800. The m-dac
plus can do 24/192 via USB (and DSD, but i am not interested in DSD) and
