I purchased this last month and have no use for it anymore since moving my system out of the office and into the living room. I'd like to get what I paid for it and more info can be found here in the previous ad. Stupid good DAC for this price.

$150 shipped

    Nice little unit that Shane will be sorry he got rid of :smile: . I have one and highly recommended. Plays well above it's price point. I actually prefer it slightly to the Audio GD NFB-3 which cost $350.

    One thing Shane didn't mention is this is USB only.

    bump for a great deal.... from what I've read, this is a nice piece and the price is great. I would love to try the Keces out but I don't need USB at the moment. GLWTS

    Thanks guys!

    I listened to it extensively last night and it's surprisingly neutral and an all around great performer. I'm surprised it's not gone yet :)

    Come on guys, I give Shane a hard time about flipping gear but is one seriously great dac!!! I had been running my Audio GB NFB-3 for awhile and put the Keces back in this weekend and it's simply a stunning sounding dac USB and all.

    Someone needs to pick this up for USB duty. I think Shane is crazy for selling it.

    Sorry I have to add with the proper set-up (ASIO) this is a stupid good dac. Incredibly transparent and neutral as well as very balanced with killer controlled bass. Female vocals are too die for. I will probably never put the Audio GD NFB-3 back in the rig.

    I just had to comment yet again, since I'm listening to mine currently going into my 3rd hour this evening, getting nothing done here at home.

    Is it back on the market yet?

    Keep this one Shane. You will be sorry if you let it go.
