H-CAT DAC

Guys, I can now get in contact with Roger Paul, and he promises to get his webpage up to date with contact numbers. He will do repairs if needed. It is unlikely that he will restart making his units.

Tbg,

Thank you. That is very good news.

The HCAT is a good sounding product. Unfortunately, my remote has failed. I have tried to contact Roger several times over the past 2 years and have never received a response. Deadbeat. One would think he'd want to protect his reputation at the very least. 

Sorry about the trouble.  That's interesting that Roger has not responded.  I can tell you that he's still in circulation, as based on a bunch of back and forth here in another thread about his creating the best amplifier made, I paid him a visit this past November to assess his claim.

Aside from that, I'm guessing the DAC employed a universal remote.  You should be able to pick up a replacement at a big box store or online, and with some (or a lot) trial and error, find the correct codes for the DAC.  Poor consolation I admit, but you should find success in getting the car back on the road

@trelja My HCAT remote also wasn't working for the preamp that I have.  I emailed Roger around Nov/Dec and he quickly replied me that he could send me a part (the buttons skin), only to suddenly disappear after I told him where I am located.  Since I cannot use a universal remote for the preamp, after that I continued to email him for another couple of months unitl I gave up.  I wanted to buy more products from him, but how could I?
