Up for sale is my Canary Audio KD-2000 DAC, in superlative condition. This has been one of the best music purchases I've ever made and I'm only changing it to move to a Kondo KSL Dac. It has a truly beguiling warmth and organic sound, without losing any detail, punch or depth. I've used it with CD players and digital streamers (Bryston, Aurender) and it is just sublime. You can also vary the sound by changing the tubes, if you're into that sort of thing. It will play hi-resolution audio files and has 3 digital filters so you can choose which sound quality suits you and the music the best. It has a remote control (an Apple remote) for volume, input selection, mute etc. See full spec below.  
Please ask any questions. Can demo to serious buyers in Los Angeles. I don't have the original box (it got damaged in a garage flood) but it will be supremely well packed for shipping.

From Canary:
KD-2000 Tube DSD DAC The KD-2000 Tube DSD D/A converter is specially designed for those who like to play their music digitally without sacrificing sound quality. Utilizing the very finest technologies and uncompromising design, the KD-2000 is capable in offering the widest DSD and PCM support with highest sampling rate.

"Canary Audio's first attempt at an all-format tube-based DAC has turned out to be a great success. It offers great build quality, a robust power supply, and a tube-based analog conversion section that gets you the speed/transparency/details of digital sound while blending in the tonality/colors/image palpability of what tubes and analog have to offer. As far as I can tell, the KD-2000 does equal justice to Redbook CDs and high-resolution/DSD material, so it can play any music you have in your collection."
