I have one new sealed Audio Alchemy DDP-2 preamp with DAC and music streamer for sale. it is new with the Alchemy warranty.

The first review is out and is a rave. Enjoy the music says:

"I've
spent a lot of space describing just how versatile and well-designed
the DDP-2 is; honestly, the effort, engineering, and innovation devoted
to its creation deserve even more of the story be told. Yet as simply
stellar as it is from the design and execution standpoint, I still
wasn't prepared for how refined and engaging it sounds! Spoiler alert!
Someone forgot to tell Peter and his team that this device was going to
sell for $2500, not $10,000 to 12,000!"

"And
as if the degree of versatility ELAC is offering with the DDP-2, which
is honestly the most significant I've seen with virtually any
linestage/DAC/Streamer offering, not just for the money, wasn't enough,
it's sonic performance puts it in a class by itself, especially when
used as a Roon endpoint, which it clearly seems to have been optimized
to do."


"In general, low frequencies are deep, tight, and extremely well pitch
defined. Performance in this area is nothing short of stunning. Mids are
every bit as articulate and defined, rich in detail, full of body,
bloom, blustering with life, and with a textural and tonal faithfulness
I'd have no reason to expect from a DAC in this class, let alone a
device that was also a full linestage, streamer, and headphone
amplifier! Finally, the uppermost frequencies afford a remarkable sense
of air, shimmer, and ease, are well focused and detailed, yet smoothly
rendered, without hint of any etched sterility."

They sum with:

"I
would suggest that without the experience and understanding that comes
from the successful design and execution of cost-no-object, benchmark
setting products like those Peter developed for the Constellation
Electronics Reference line, and the further knowledge gained by
successfully scaling that level of sonic achievement to fit the
Constellation Performance, Revelation, and even the Inspiration lines
price points, creating such a complex, sophisticated, technologically
elegant, yet stupendously affordable device such as the DDP-2 would be
an utter impossibility. In short,
what Peter and the Alchemy team have achieved with this product series
is nothing short of a benchmark accomplishment. And honestly, even
knowing how exceptional Peter is at his craft, I've still got no idea
how he has fit all this versatility and performance in to such s small,
affordable package."

UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMENDED!

The DDP-2 combines three
components in one elegant piece of gear to give you the highest-quality
digital-to-analog converter, preamp and digital streamer we know how to
make. Then they combined it in a single chassis only 1U (1.75 inches)
high. The preamplifier offers maximum flexibility, while incorporating
DAC and streaming functions to make the DDP-2 the centerpiece of your digital
system. Full MQA decoding will be added as a software upgrade shortly.
The DDP-2 is designed as a Roon endpoint with streaming thru Roon.


The second review is also a rave. Audiophile style said:

"The ELAC Alchemy DDP-2 is very analog, a touch digital, full
featured, and capable of great performance. Clever design details from
the mind of Peter Madnick take this ho-hum looking component with fairly
standard parts to another level. The magic is all in the
implementation. In addition to solid engineering, the aforementioned
detail, dynamics, and tone in tracks such as My Funny Valentine prove to
me that the DDP-2 is an amazing performer and using the car world's
sleeper adjective is apropos. The looks are understated but the
performance is surprisingly great."
