Cary Audio Design 306 CD/SACD Up-Sampling 2008 Model

Cary CD 306 SACD Up-Sampling SACD Player

I bought the new
from Upscale Audio in 2008 but I am in the process of downsizing, so it time
for this beauty to move on.

The CD-306 SACD CD
player from Cary Audio was developed between the CD 306 and CD 306 Pro, and plays
SACD's, HDCD's, Redbook CD's, CD-R's & RW"s. It can up-sample CD
playback to 24/768, and it can also up-sample anything on the multiple digital
inputs (coaxial, Toslink, AES/EBU) to 24/192.

If you do not know
this unit you might not realize what a tank it is, and how good it sounds. Here’s
one of the many raves printed at the time. http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/cary-cd-306-cdsacd-player/

It retailed for
$6000 new.
