Playback Designs MPS-5 is one of the world’s premier digital
players, in near-perfect condition, offered at a substantial discount from book
value. This player is too fine to just
sit here rarely getting used, since I
listen 90% to analog. I find I “need” (laugh here) the money to help fund a
very expensive turntable purchase.
The Playback will be missed. It offers superb resolution without ever being harsh. There is a transparency to the sound that
I’ve never experienced in another digital player, with air and layering of the
soundstage that at least approaches analog.
And it’s a joy to use and look at—the remote is classy and ergonomic, the big
display (see photo of the unit in use) glows with a warm red in a darkened room,
and the player responds quickly to all commands. It has the USB-X box and lots of digital inputs, but I've never used it as a stand-alone DAC.
I’ve owned it for about two years. Not sure how many previous owners (I see by the box that it has
been shipped a few times), but I bought it with confidence from one of the
founders of Playback Designs. Cosmetically and mechanically flawless. It looks and performs as new, rated 8/10 for
age only.
I’ll pick up Paypal and shipping to CONUS. Don’t expect me to respond to low offers—at
this price I’ve already lowballed myself!
Thanks for looking, Dan
