 Anyone have such a beast?
CA won't part with one, the Greedy Rats.

I'll say it here NOW.....Anything I buy in the future comes WITH a schamatic or it's no sale.

 DACMagic + started maybe 2012 or 2013.
So a manual from 2008 is Way Early and probably for the Dac Magic....oroigina model which is electrically quite a bit different than the 'PLUS'.

You'll be saving a ton of cash from here on out with your audio electronics purchases.

 I think you are 100% correct.

Even HSU Research won't cough up a schematic for the amp in my sub which is WAY out of warranty and certainly not some kind of miracle circuit. I call BS.

And it's not as much the lack of Schematic as the ATTITUDE of both Cambridge Audio and HSU, that I am some sort of captive customer.

Years ago....like early 70s or so? Friend in the dorm had a very nice receiver......Pioneer? Sony? I can't remember which, BUT the book it came with? COMPLETE schematic and I think even a board layout.

I don't know if they still do it but many Japanese companies had complete service manuals for their gear. This included large fold-out schematics. Man, trying to find a schematic these days is nearly impossible.

 All the Yamaha amps and tuners from the 70s came with schematics at the back of their user manuals, like the one below for my old CA1010 integrated.

 I was going to say something to this effect when I read this yesterday. There is no point to a schematic when the board is stuffed with tiny devices that you can't source nor service.
