Time to give back to the community that gives so much!

I have a DAC form Audio Alchemy, which as far as I can tell was well received and praised for performing well above its peers in its price point. These sell for around $125 second hand.

One caveat! I dont have the power supply :frown: I'm sorry!

But there are lots of threads on how to DIY or you can find a channel Islands VAC-1 or an AA PS3 on agon or ebay. Anyways, if no one wants it then fine, but I'd really like to give it to someone with some technical knowledge. It is a very nice sounding DAC for redbook playback.

Ill even pay to ship it to you.
So just say "in" and you'll be entered. Winner will be chosen by a random number generator. or whoever has the best bribe. hahaha. i kid.

anways, I just want to put this inthe hands of someone that could use it.

to qualify: just have over 50 posts and be a member for at least 6 months.
design is where science and art break even.
