Linn Akurate DS Mint - $1 No Reserve

Hello Audio friends,
I have had the fortune of getting a dream DAC so my beloved Linn Akurate DS is up for sale.  I am not interested in negotiations or lowballing so I almost always sell via auction.   Shipping includes insurance for purchase price 
$1, No reserve!   
I would say it is 9/10 condition, but based on age I have to list it per Audiogon policy at 8/10.  It has no blemishes or scratches and comes with remote.   
A recent update to Davaar 32 firmware (which is the latest) as of today.   
The most significant value of this player in my opinion is the free service to Linn Radio.  Even with the introduction of Tidal Linn still gives you free access to their own brand of music and getting to listen to all the latest Linn records without paying for it is a bargain.   
I am well versed with this product so I also included a phone setup assistance with this sale. Network audio can be intimidating, but after a walkthrough with me you will be a champ.
  Specs are as follows:
