    However Microsoft say; "On cluster configurations, the DAC will be off by default.", I have no way of verifying whether this is true or MS myth!

    True by implication, because the only thing that's enabled by default is local DAC, meaning a connection from the same name that the SQL instance is running. Since in a cluster that's a virtual name that isn't actually a machine (it's just the name of the SQL service), you can't use local DAC.

    thanks for this clarification, I have learnt something, I hope others including the OP have too.
