EXPIRED For Sale Fidelice Precision DAC / Headphone amp

Further Information

The Fidelice company was started as an all out assault on the hi-fi world by Rupert Neve, the legendary designer of the world's best recording consoles. His goal was to produce superb sounding equipment that didn't have quite the very industrial look of their studio gear. And they succeeded in both of these goals.

This item is a beautifully constructed and masterfully equipped jack of all trades - both digital and analogue. 

Its specifications are at the cutting edge of today's technology and it has inputs (XLR, RCA, SPDIF coax and Toslink, USB) and outputs (XLR and RCA main, XLR4 and Pentaconn 4.4 balanced headphone, 6.35mm single ended headphone) for everything you can throw at it.

It also puts you right at the mixing desk output, as if you were in the studio listening to the master mix hot off the master tape.

Cheap at twice the price IMHO.

I no longer have the packing box this came in, but it will be packed securely via Pack and Send.
