Figured this may be the best place to post this. One of the members at Audiocircle has the Twisted Pear DAC and PS kit for sale for $200. DAC's assembled, PS is still in kit form. No experience myself with this DAC but I've heard good things.

Pretty sure these are hard to find, and that this is a good price.

    I have one of those with the Ivy output stage. Sounds very nice with the Esoteric cdt. I think a new kit is about $300. Great company to work with also. Balanced or single ended outputs. I2s, 75 and 110 ohm inputs. They are waiting for the new ESS dac to be available for the next shipments.

    That's a good price for a good product that has basically never been used. The sound quality should well exceed the $200 price.

    Yes that would be $200 well spent.

    Twisted Pear is a great name!
    Sort of in the same vein as the South African wine called Goats Do Roam.
