    That's a nice DAC.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Thanks. I'll try to take a better picture tonight, if possible.

    It has a 3/8" solid aluminim front and probably weighs 15-20lbs. It's beautiful, and, unlike other DACs, I like that this one is component sized and very sleek. Looks way better than the Benchmark and other boxy, ugly DACs :)

    Haven't had time to take pics and post it yet. Got a Denon DVD-2200, possibly posting some Tara Labs speaker cables, maybe my ole carver tfm-6cbs, maybe a B&K 125.2.

    Still trying to figure out my master plan, then posting the rest here.

    Russ - in a few weeks, you can come over to my parents in McKinney and help me sort out my bulk shipment of gear :) and teach me about tube rolling. Some of those spare parts might make their way to the FM eventually, and you can have first dibs on anything I don't keep. I could also provide food, beer / liquor, and billiards.

    I had the pleasure of owning this DAC and it rules. Solid, solid piece of gear.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Andy, I might be interested in the DAC. Just curious if it has balanced outs?

    Also is this the Progeny A or Progeny?

    Thanx,

    No balanced outs. . . just the coaxial and toslink.

    I'm not sure if it's A or just regular. I'll check on that tonight.

    The reason I ask is it would help differentiate the year produced and hopefully some of the finer details. The Theta site doesn't have much information on this DAC, just would help with the research.

    Thanx for looking into it Andy. No rush. Balanced Outs would have sealed the deal. I asked, as they were doing a lot of balanced stuff when this was originally made. (and you didn't have a picture of the back)
