What is the status of Deltec Precision Audio (DPA)?


Does anyone (perhaps in Britain) know what is going on with Deltic Precision Audio and its CEO/designer Adrian Walker?  Their Facebook page continues to have updates, but I have tried to contact them/him numerous times without any response lately.  At his advice, I sent back an MA1 amplifier from the USA for repair, paid for the repair, and never got it back -- unbelievable!  My DPA system is lacking one channel, and it looks like it always will.

Appreciate all the information, Tom.  Wish I had known more of this DPA history before I bought Andrew Lovely's system.  He's probably not to blame for the amp's failure, but it was unusual that nearly all the gear arrived without original packaging and manuals, and he was no help when I asked who might repair the amp.  I don't know the process for lodging a police complaint against Adrian, but will look into it.  Meanwhile, if you learn where I can get another MA1 or if someone wants to buy my remaining one...!  Peter
Hi Peter,
I live and work locally to DPA’s address in Poole, and today I purchased the contents of a storage container that was full of DPA spares and some complete units. I thought what i was buying was 15 complete new units, but maybe 12 are missing the faceplates. It is all CA-1, SA-1 and MA-1 seperates.
I’m going to be seriously out of pocket here but there is an LG box with your name and address on it and your unit in it. So although i’ve bought all this in good faith from the storage company, as the bill hasn’t been paid for quite some time and they could not contact the guy, is rightfully yours. If you can pay for the postage you should have it back. I do need a few old Harley parts from the states, maybe you can help me out with a couple of small parts as a way of thanks?
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello there,

just found this thread as I am searching for a way to have my DAC repaired. From the above it seems like not much sense in approaching dpa. Does the previous team of DPA Do repair/service for the products and how to get in contact? Had my DAC for repair in 2009-10 however the problem looks like back again

Kim, DPA is defunct, unfortunately.  There is no official service — best to hope that a hifi service tech near you can diagnose the problem and get the necessary parts.
