    Ricardo-Totally epic Karma!! Thanks a lot!!

    For those of you that were wondering what was in the mystery box...

    DPA Little Bit Three DAC
    a Signal coax cable, and a pair of Signal IC's(not sure if they're analog I's or II's)

    A Polk Audio key ring thingy

    Several DVD's...
    Braveheart,
    We Were Soldiers
    Gladiator
    AC/DC Live at Donnington
    Yanni:Tribute
    and this "Animusic" DVD, which looks very interesting. Haven't checked it out yet.

    Also...some original literature for the Polk Monitor xA series...This is very cool! I haven't been able to find any original literature for my 7A's...I've got the original boxes, so this completes them now. So far, the only lit. I've been able to find for the Monitors is for the SL-2000 based speakers...having some original literature for the Peerless Monitors is very cool!!!

    Thanks again Ricardo!! This DAC is going to get put to good use. I won't really have any time to mess around with it today, but I'm going to hook the 2910 up to it sometime in the next couple days and see where that gets me. I'm also looking forward to comparing the Denon and the Cambridge as just transports through the DAC.

    Glad you liked it Curt. There's also some literature on the Polk speaker cables that you probably missed.

    The IC's are analog II.

    That DAC is old, but sounds really nice. Here's a couple of history threads.

    When I bought it:

    When I put it up for sale but decided to keep it:

    Ahh yes...that's what I forgot to mention, I knew there was something.

    Ricardo also included some original literature on Polk's house brand speaker cables...the Polk SoundCables. Some very cool info. I've never even seen any real info on these cables...aside from them being mentioned on the forum.

    Maybe I'll scan it and make a .pdf for Doro to post in one of the stickies?


    This was an uber sweet karma!! Thanks again!!:D

    A very cool Christmas Karma from Jolly Old St. Ricardo.
