PS Audio Digital Link III DAC - $450 shipped

dragon1952

I've got a PS Audio Digital Link III DAC for sale. This DAC is only around 6 weeks old and has maybe 150 hrs on it. As you are probably aware these DACs originally sold for $995. Absolutely pristine except for a minute factory blemish on the right hand side panel (see pic). It looks like a small circle maybe from an internally mounted component or board. It's just a tiny circle but the casing doesn't feel raised or depressed.
I haven't tried a bunch of DACs but I have done a ton of research...lots of reviews which I don't usually put much faith in, but mainly all of the forums where a lot of comparisons are shared. Of course it's all subjective but I doubt if you could find a better DAC out there that's selling for $450 shipped. A lot of guys out there like this over the Benchmark which is still selling for $6-$700 used. I got this from a guy who owned it for a month and I've used it for about 10 days. I got a good deal on this so I'll pass it on. This is a really great sounding DAC, I just decided to spend more and get something with more network features (like the W4S DAC-2).
It comes with the original box, manual and power cord.
$450 shipped....please add $10 for PayPal which is less than the fee.

My subjective impressions -

I used this with my tubed integrated and Martin Logan speaker system (see signature)
Very black background
seriously excellent bass
very good imaging and sound stage
no grain, smooth
great detail but not harsh

A better pic of the 'circle' as there is some camera glare that also looks like a circle.
