Hi,
This dac was my favorite dac until I got the Buffalo III. It sounds great and has one coax digital input currently. TPA has always used both balanced (xlr) and single ended (rca) outputs. The koa wood face for the case is beautiful. Green led on front for digital signal lock indicator. Furutech, vampire, neutrik etc quality connections used. Since it is a diy kit it can used in many ways. I2S, asynchronous, synchronous, optical, add an usb input, it's your choice. Capable of 4 spdif inputs as is. Have teleporters , otto and other TPA parts available if needed. I had it set up previously with 2 I2S inputs, an optical, a coax, and a bnc input. $200 plus shipping. Will be packed very well.

Hi,
Thanks for the interest. I listed this as a Buffalo II but it's a Buffalo 24. Sorry for the mistake so I'll lower the price to $150 plus shipping.Main system: Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 w/ Pioneer 42" plazma-> Polk LSiM 703 w/Tivo, Marantz tuner, BRPTT: Nothingham Spacedeck-> Pioneer PL L1000 linear arm-> Soundsmith DL 103R-> SUT->Bottlehead ErosDigital: I3 PC w/ Jriver playing flac -> Sonore Ultrarendu -> Twisted Pair Audio ESS 9028 w/ Mercury IVY Vinyl rips: ESI Juli@24/192-> i3 PC server -
