Excellent sounding DAC that needs a new home. Plenty of great reviews on the DAC. If you ever wanted to test the waters with an outboard DAC you can't go wrong with this CA DAC. I'll rate it an 8/10 on the 'agon scale just to be safe. Original box, manual, velvet bag. Will double box for safe shipping. $300.00 including shipping.

"Old School" it is Tony...with those Bugle Boy tubes it's a match made in heaven. Hopefully someone here will snag the CA DAC. It's priced right to move."2 Channel & 11.2 HT "Two Channel:Magnepan LRSSchiit Audio Freya S - SS preConsonance Ref 50 - Tube preParasound HALO A21+ 2 channel ampBluesound NODE 2i streameriFi NEO iDSD DAC Oppo BDP-93KEF KC62 sub Home Theater:Full blown 11.2 set up. -
Phil, you're a trip, not less than one year ago you were making fun of tube gear adn those of us heavily into it. Now you can't live with out it.......ah well, we can all be wrong once in awhile.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -

Nothing more than a mere sampling of tubes with the DAC, nothing too heavy mind you. But the sound is very much to my likeing. Even though the DAC is circa 1995 they sure knew a thing or two about sound quality. But you never know what the future holds.

This still here ?
Guys, if your wondering what a dac will do for your digital music, or even if your still spinning those cd's on a mediocre cdp, this is your ticket. Knowing Phil, you won't be able to tell this from brand spanking new either. 3 bones ? Including shipping ? Shake those cobwebs off from the weekend and give this dac a whirl in your rig.HT SYSTEM-
