As new: Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Series 2 with remote a "Stereophile's Robert Harley favorite":

                                                                    





"The
original Alpha DAC was a groundbreaking product, both in absolute
performance and in its spectacular value. The Alpha DAC Series 2 is
considerably better, and in musically significant ways." "The Alpha DAC
Series 2 would have received my highest recommendation had it cost
$15,000. Yes, it sounds that good. That it sells for $4995 qualifies as a
minor miracle." —Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, February 2012

Can play MQA's but not a MQA unit (not a important thing in my opinion) .

Please note: It is Up-gradable to MQA for $595 from the factory.
