The famous giant killer dac from Chekoslavakia- the okto dac 8 stereo Reviewers across the audio spectrum have fallen in love with this gorgeous sounding creature. Reviewers have praised the sound as extraordinarily clean and transparent, with a huge soundstage Stereophile loved it and so did the guy with the Audio Science web site. Notably many have claimed that it is the equivalent of $20000 dacs- ie it will s—t all over all the other things being advertised in this category. But you can can ignore it and go ahead and throw 4 times the cost of this at some fancy pants number. These are not available in Oz so normally you would have to pay around $350 ( cost to ship from the US). I paid a total of $2095 to bring it in. The original Apple Remote it came with was shocking and made operation and set up a shocker. However I have replaced it with a bigger one and it’s all hunky dory There are couple of issues. That can be solved by anyone who is more it/tech oriented 1.,pi streamer- I can’t understand how the streamer works. It’s there but requires a different brain to mine to bring it to life or a seperate streamer- the Wii is probably equivalent to the p 2. the guy i bought it from assured me the software was up to date. This allows playback of SACD. I have downloaded it but can’t work out how to install it. i expect that anyone who is a bit technical wouldn’t have any problems getting the streamer going the second hand price of these is around $1760., I’m keen to sell and can negotiate note- This is ASIO compatible ( good potential for jokes here) Run on Room but you can change to Volumio if you prefer it comes with 2 remotes, the original, and a much bigger white one that is much easier to find around the house. In Roon - Audio, Roon can see the dac 8 but can’t initialise it. There are lots of solutions on the web. I suspect that I need to get in to the raspberry pi but that’s beyondme https://www.stereophile.com/content/okto-dac8-stereo-da-processor-page-2

Near mint LP and mint - cover ring wear back cover ( see photos) had a very keen buyer for this at a record fair last year but my credit card thing was playing up . postage $10, 2-4 records $15

Original UK pressing. Vinyl is mint. Tear Cover has some. Small krinkles along top.

The FR 7 is one of the greatest Japanese cartridges, regarded as Ikeda’s masterpiece ive been enjoying this cartridge for some time, it sounded beautiful and seems to suit all types of music sadly the stylus had an unfortunate derailment and is no more. With cartridge retipping starting under $700, you will get yourself a $2.5k cartridge for $1300 Alternatively I am interested in swapping for a similar quality and condition Mc that is lighter ( under 8gm ) and shorter- under or just above 15mm). We will each need to pay stereonet a fare fee
