DrMikeOz Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Never thought i'd sell this amazing DAC but i really only listen to vinyl now, so no point having lots of money tied up in a digital front end that never gets used. A search on the forum will tell you more about this legendary DAC. The SE model uses higher quality parts and was assembled by Abbas himself. I'm not sure if these can be purchased any longer given the situation in the Ukraine. The parts are vintage - to say the least. From Abbas himself "This is a 80 year old germany choke made in the Third Reich in 1938, before WW2" Tube DEM clock CS8414 SPDIF receiver Capacitors: Black Gate, Nichicon Muse KX, Nichicon Muse KZ Resistors: Allen Bradley, AudioNote Tantalum Stranded wire from Klangfilm, Telefunken, Siemens I/U converter based on low noise Germanium transistor TDA1541 chips from Philips Separate power transformers for digital and analogue sections. Separate transformer for the DEM clock All the vintage tubes included are: E182CC 5Y3 EF180 EAA91 EZ90 Comes with an additional RCA 5Y3 meatball rectifier. You can't put the lid on with this installed but i found it improved the sound significantly. Price is firm, i'd prefer pickup but can ship at buyers cost and risk.

mr_gray Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 i have this unit precisely and just wanted to add that it is brilliant. i have also added that precise rectifier tube and it does make a huge difference. anyone buying this is in for a shock at how good it is. also this price cheap. mine was this price but in USD plus tubes on top of that. 5
