I purchased this from @geppy1 a while back, and it sounds wonderful but I just don't really have a use for it. It comes with power cord and original box. Higher sought after and rare, and for good reason.

$150 plus actual shipping and paypal fees if applicable. Shipping will be either USPS priority or fedex ground, whichever the buyer prefers.

Please PM any questions. Thanks!

    Hi Paul!!! Hi-eee!
    I'd go for this, but I already have too many to use.

    @ALL212 could probably integrate it with the Twisted Pear?

    This is a solid performer. Punches above its price point. It's well engineered and quality parts are used. I still have mine and will probably never let it go even though it doesn't get much playing time these days.

    Thanks for the bump! Yea, i know this is older but it sounds really quite good. I’m not gonna give it away: if there is no interest I will just use it in the bedroom setup, which is overkill but oh well...

    I've got the Keces DA-131 (no usb, coax & optical in only) and I really like it. Like yours, it currently resides in my bedroom setup. I swapped out its opamps for a pair of Burson V5's once-upon-a...

    I'm sure you'll get this moved, price is right and it's a really nice piece.

    I'll probably keep mine forever. Keces is a very underrated company with limited distribution. Their power products are fantastic.

    I have a new Keces piece I am adding to my "stash", coming straight from Taiwan via their US distributor. There will be a post once I've had a chance to evaluate it.
