in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Once I sell enough items I'll most likely end the listings for the rest.

Audeze LCD-2 Bamboo. Pre fazor upgrade. I replaced the earpads with the brown non leather version. The original leather ones needed to be replaced due to wear. I noticed today that the new pads aren't perfectly aligned replacement pads are $80-$100. They aren't too hard to replace. The price is adjusted to cover the cost of replacing the pads if the buyer wants to. $500

Benchmark DAC-1 this one is in good condition and have no issues with it. It works great as a dac and headphone amplifier. It does a good job with the LCD-2s. This one doesn't have USB. $350

Local pickup DFW for now. I'll post pictures soon.

Setup:

2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105
PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    Benchmark DAC arrived safe and sound...this one is staying put for awhile!
    Gave it a spin this evening and it easily betters the DAC in my Marantz 8004 or the Shiit Bifrost. Spooky good imaging and details with my Totem Rainmakers on Tame Impala's Innerspeaker album.
    Thanks much!

    That's why I've run Benchmarks for over 12 years. I'm on my 3rd one now.

    I’m glad you are enjoying it. It’s definitely a great value considering it can power hard to drive headphones as well.

    I’m enjoying the Oppo 105 and think it’s best for my needs at the moment since I’m using the apple tv. When it’s time to upgrade I’m wanting to get the Benchmark 3.

    Since I scooped up this deal here on the Benchmark DAC1....I will offer it back up to Polkies for 350.00 plus actual shipping via PP friend option. This is to fund a DAC2 or DAC3 so I will give it a week or so before posting it elsewhere. Pics coming soon but its pretty much the same condition as when I received it. PM me with questions please....
