If your primary focus is spinning discs or your ripped library consists of 44.1Khz flac, here's your huckleberry. Bought here: https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/192141/modded-adcom-gda-600?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=gda-600

Same condition as I received it. Have the box too. No longer needed since getting the Cambridge 851N from @gyosa. Since BK was so generous with the pricing of the 851N, let do $150 shipped, ConUS. I can take pics if you'd like.

    Ahhh, you're sooooo close! And I would've thought with a name like bugsnot, @msg could've gotten those last 26 posts out of you!

    The modded one's sound really, really good. I modded the one I had and was impressed. I sold it long ago. Who knows this might have been mine. I don't remember its sales history...lol

    @DaveHo - Thanks for the wonderful packing job on the DAC!

    I spent the better part of this past weekend listening to my tunes with the GDA-600 inserted into my system and I'm amazed!

    Will try to keep this in the Polk Family when it's time to move on but it won't be any time soon.
