I will include some Cardas XLR > RCA adapters and ifi Gemini USB cable at my asking price and will ship worldwide wide.

USA buyers please note I can ship USPS via APO box to avoid customs for you.
Dubai audio heads, shipping via EMS or SMSA, or TNT DHL should be easy from KSA.

    Firmware should be updated, 1.3 sounds right. I will verify. I always leave the unit on, well mostly, so it should be well seasoned for you :D

    Hardware Version does not change according to Wang at Auralic.

    This v1.2 upgraded model is like a stock1.3 model.

    Hardware is motherboard version which doesn't change, but when they upgraded the 1.2 models they changed them to the USB board that is in the 1.3 so

    ... both do DSD256, thus the units are identical: v1.2 DSD256 model = v1.3 Vega DSD256.

    When this tech mentioned upgraded FEMTO clocks, he probably meant the 1.3 USB board going in...

    Sound is so good, no joke I got rid of my Antelope Gold w/ Voltikus when I got this. No contest.

    This unit can be used 120v or 220v with a jumper change....
