Years ago I installed Foobar, ASIO, Monkeymote + Bonjour on WIn7 laptop, along the way my DAC no longer controls FB playback. Audiolab 8200CDQ is a CD/DAC/Pre-amp that has ability to control PC media device over USB, identifying itself as HID (Human Interface Device). Audiolab's remote used to controlled Foobar playback (pause/play, fwd, back) as well as volume of pre-amp into power amps, but no longer does the former. Monkeymote advises;

Further information: These are beautiful amplifiers made by Audiolab in UK. They are offered for sale as a combination. They might seem dated but they still work beautifully. The 8000C preamp is specially suited for people with turntables as it offers both MM and MC inputs. The 8000P power amp is not huge by today standard but it produces enough powers for most speakers. It provides minimum 100W per channel. Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Item: AUDIOLAB M-DAC with Bonus Analysis Plus USB cable Location: MEL Price: $550 Item Condition: Perfect Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: This is a fantastic DAC and i've enjoyed it more than i expected to. I've used it mostly for USB audio which it does amazingly. I've since got a streamer/dac which i'm also happy with, so don't need this anymore. I will throw in a bonus Analysis Plus Purple USB cable with the sale.

I've just acquired a JH turntable for free and could use a steer on getting it sorted and running. The owner bought it new in 1974. Does anyone have any idea what model this is? (obviously google hasn't helped with finding manual). Keen on getting it going. The owner (my neighbour) is non-techie but he said they'd taken it to Carlton AV here in Melbourne, and they said there was an issue with the wiring in the tonearm. Advice was the cost to fix was too high for the unit. I've plugged it in and run it through my amp; sounds fine although I had to manually rotate the disc. I'd like to get a manual or something with detail on the internals to see if I can get it living again. Some questions for the forum (obviously I've googled first with not a great deal of luck on this specific machine): I need to replace the belt but not sure what the correct size is - any suggestions? The existing belt is really overstretched so I can't use that as a gauge. I don't get how the 33/45 speed change works. Looks like you pull the spindle up to change speeds, I'm assuming it's moving the belt on to a smaller pulley. Would be great to see an image of how it's meant to look set up correctly so I can sort it once I replace the belt. Here's a vid: https://imgur.com/ivZxmGI The tone arm lever appears to be out of whack, again any suggestions on how it should sit? At the moment the arm seems to be coming up under the left side and I can't rotate it around without breaking it. I'm assuming a new cartridge is in order, but can't find a source for info on what is compatible with that tone arm. Would appreciate any steers to online info (not expecting the forum to do everything for me, but I'm a turntable newbie with 'beginners' electronics skills). cheers, pics below.

Has been sitting idle in a box for the last 4 months but was running original firmware, however can be easily upgraded. Well known DAC with lots of reviews online - just search google.

So, the short story is that nearly a decade ago, I purchased an Audiolab 8000 CDE CD player and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, at the time, Audiolab were sourcing their power trannies from somewhere with quality control issues. Seems that they tend to go faulty and trip their internal thermal fuse. Death of CD player coincided with implosion of marriage, so what was a very nice player has sat in its box for about 8 years while CD duties went to a budget pioneer DVD player. This last week I finally dived in to Jaycar and purchased some transformers to fit into an outboard case. Yesterday was the moment of truth when after years, it finally sprang back to life, arguably sounding better than before. Case needs completion and a 5 pin plug and socket, but this evening I'm a happy listener again.

The provision of digital inputs – optical, coaxial and USB – means the 8200CD can be used to deliver top-quality sound from all kinds of digital sources, including audio files from computers and other media devices. Thus, all music benefits from the superb sound quality produced by the playersʼ DAC and discrete Class A output stages. Comprised of over 1700 components using precision SMT manufacturing on a 4 layer PCB, the Audiolab 8200CD is the most advanced electronic design in Audiolab’s impressive history.

Item: Audiolab 8000Q pre amp Location: Melbourne Price: $450 Item Condition: as new Reason for selling: upgraded Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, bank deposit For sale is an Audiolab 8000Q pre amp in first class condition. This would suit a new buyer, it is in such good condition, and the remote still has the protective cellophane. Soundwise the bass is full and solid, the mids are rich and detailed and the highs very smooth - its musically very satisfying. Comes with everything - original box, complete packaging, remote control, manual and power cable.

I was just shown this at a garage sale (it wasn't in the sale, the guy brought it out after we had been chatting). It is boxed (box has Audiolab, Melbourne, JH printed on it), has never been used- apparently his Dad was into audio gear and found this during a clean up. Just wondering what this would be worth and what kinds of turntables it is suited for? Sorry about the photo- I had taken others but accidentally deleted them because I ran out of storage on my phone- d'oh! Thanks in advance ericd

Item: Audiolab 8200CDQ + 8200P Like New Location: Sydney Price: RELISTED 8200P SOLD Item Condition: 9. The indicator light on 8200P does not come on when it's ON, otherwise in perfect working condition. No marks (might have tiny marks if you look very closely) Reason for selling: Not used as often as I like to. I prefer playing vinyl records and I prefer my valve amp. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I bought the 8200CDQ+P when they were first available in Australia in February 2011 from Apollo Hi Fi, and I paid $1999 for the 8200CDQ and $1349 for the 8200P, total $3348. I wanted to return the 8200P when I received it and the indicator light was not working, but I was told there were limited stocks issued for Australia and I would have to wait for many more weeks. The amp and the CDQ have been working perfectly that's why I never get around to get the indicator light fixed. The 8200CDQ is a CD Player, DAC, and have an onboard digital/analogue preamp, also a pair of balanced outputs and a USB port (among many others) to connect directly to you computer, I have it connected to my iMac and it works perfectly. The 8200CDQ has gathered a huge amount of 5 starred reviews and praises. More info: 6 moons Hi Fi Choice What Hi Fi Hi Fi World + plenty more you can find online...

This firmware is much better than the original shipping version since it has more functions and even better sound quality. Please refer to the MDAC wiki (http://mdac.referata.com/wiki/Main_Page)for details of all the different firmwares. And if really required, I can update the firmware to whatever version you like although I can't think about any reason doing that .
