Accustic Arts DAC 2 mkII Reference Series

This is their reference series dac and is a phenomenal music making machine. Look at the supplied image of the inside of this piece and it should give you an idea of how precisely the design has been executed. The tube section has its very own power supply; attention to detail at its finest, that's why high end audio costs what it does, it's all about signal purity. Completely hand made in Germany, with top notch customer service, as you would expect from a company like this; Martin Schunk himself answered my emails when I had questions. Pristine and accurate sound, with balanced tube warmth. I was fortunate enough to be able to audition the dcs Debussy and the Accustic Arts in my own system and I felt the AA was superior as it added more weight to the music and vocals are just spectacular, though the DCS is a gem as well. Unit is mint, and functions flawlessly. 5 inputs, so multiple source components can be attached. USB is 24/96, toslink and spdif is 24/192, has AES and BNC for CD transport as well. I found some small marks, tried to capture with camera, very minor, and price adjusted for them. If you really want to step up your digital playback, this is your chance; Accustic Arts makes world class gear. I have the original box and all documentation, it has upgraded fuses as well. The pic of the innards is obviously from the Internet as well as the image of the back of the unit as my unit has not been moved since purchase. For this price, you will not even sniff this type of performance, it is a steal. PayPal add 4%. Buyer is responsible for shipping and any applicable duties and taxes.
*sale will nclude Telefunken 12ax7 tubes, which lifts the unit to another level.
