Back in 2000, Mark Levinson introduced the Reference No. 30.6 DAC, one of the best sounding and over engineered DAC's to be produced at that time, and largely since.
One of the secrets to its incredibly rich and musical sound was the massive outboard power supply. Three independent DC power umbilical cables carry separate and isolated power to the actual "music making" chassis. One power supply for the actual DAC section, one power supply for the Left analog section and the third supply for the Right analog section.
As can be seen from photo, the DAC decodes up to 96kHz, 24bit. The source that I used for the photo was just a Bluesound Node2 playing an MQA file from Tidal.
This particular unit is from a single owner, and is in great shape. Blemishes that keep it from being perfect: a faint inch-long scratch on top of power supply (could not get a good picture of it), a tiny paint chip on the front top edge (picture is enhanced to show it at its worst), some light scratches near the com port connector on rear (again, picture greatly altered to show it), and some odd "fading" of the paint near the left channel heat exhaust grates.
Not sure why there was that fading on just the left side. I've left the unit on for over 48 hours and both channels measure the exact same temperature to an IR thermometer.
A tiny dab of black paint would take care of that chip, but I did not wish to try to hide anything.
I've very conservatively rated this a 7/10.
Original Levinson double boxing for each unit is included, as well as manual. The DAC did not ever include a remote. Shipping to Continental US only.
