Posts: 431
I've been collecting audio gear for upwards of 3 decades and I need to dramatically purge my collection...at least that's what my wife said! Everything works as it should and the electronics are generally in great shape cosmetically.

By "Version 2" do you mean the newer one with the ESS chip instead of the AKM? -

With all this unused great stuff, I'm curious what your current setup is (the gear that made the cut).

Right now, the main system is:
Technics SP-15 (plan to order a 2-arm plinth and mount VPI and Ortofon 12” arms)
Innersound Phono (same as Coda Fet-3b) and/or AHT Non-Signature phono stage
Rowland Synergy IIi
Oppo BDP-105D (used as DAC and disc player)
Rowland Model 8
Otari MX-5050 B2
Polk SDA SRS 1.2TL (upgraded crossovers)
I still have gear that is not in the listed in either this post or the purge post at the top of the thread. Couple of amps, preamps, R2R machines, pieces and parts that (for various reasons) I’m not ready to list.
The Oppo doesn’t sound better than my other DACs, but it’s close enough to warrant simplifying the system by one box.
Over the past few months, I’ve already sold:
McIntosh C37
Sonic Frontiers Line 2 (w/Parts Connexion upgrades)
NAD M22 V2
HK Citation 22
Cary SLP-98P
Kenwood KD-750.
The real problem is I had to clean out my storage locker. Two years ago, rent started at $64/month and the latest increase put it at $172/month! Necessity is the mother of invention!

I thought the V2 had the AKM4493? Looks like it does have the ESS chip though according to RME’s website.
My understanding is that the bigger remote (which mine has) indicated it was a V2.
I thought that the V1 had AKM 4490 and the V2 had AKM 4493. Hhhhmmmm…

About when did you purchase it? They only made the switch to ESS after the AKM factory fire on October 2020.
And you are right otherwise it would have used the 4493 if it shipped with the larger remote.

I bought it used in September 2020, so it's definitely the AKM 4493 version.Alon Petite / Infinity 1.2S / Coda Continuum / Counterpoint SA5000 / Oppo BDP-105D / Technics SP-15 w/SAEC WE-308SX & Ortofon AS-309 arms / Ikeda 9C2 & Dynavector XX2 Mk II carts -
Roger that, thank for the clarification. Let me think about it. I already have one and love it so this would just be a backup unit for me.

The Stereo Knight Pre has been an end-game passive pre for me for years. Amazing craftsmanship and the patience to wire every step of the volume pot and transformer...
I also REALLY want some of that gear but the 81 solar panels I just had installed on my roof as suggesting that I hold off a bit before spending more cash."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."
