CITYPULSE DA2.03e REMOTE DAC, PREAMP HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER/NICE!!!

 This listing is for a beautiful looking andf great sounding CITY PULSE DA-2.30e - D/A CONVERTOR (DAC) W/USB PORT. I puechased it new several years ago from a local High-End dealer (Quest For Sound) to replace a Citypulse 7.2 DAC. These Citypulse DACs were known as "Benchmark beaters" in their day, giving the Benchmark DAC 1 a real run for its money!!! 

 The DAC is very versatile. I have used it as a stand alone DAC, headphone amp, remote preamp/DAC and all of the above; with excellent results, in both budget and reference systems. It has always worked perfectly! It features a toroidal transformer, Crystal chip set and high end Alps volume control. 
 Included are the original box, owners manual, power cable , digital cable and USB cable.
  
 I have way too much stuff and will be moving some of it here on A-Gon.
 We will ship to anywhere in the continental USA via FEDEX Ground or USPS Priority Mail for actual insured shipping cost. This fine DAC, conservatively rated 8/10, is guaranteed to arrive in the very nice cosmetic condition and full working order pictured and described in this listing. No further warranty is implied. 
 In his Nov. 2011 review for Stereo Times, Dave Thomas Sums it up as follows: " Conclusion: It’s A bargain! Stephen Monte has done it again. He has yet to send me a component that wasn’t an unadulterated success in terms of quality, musicality and most important, value. The Citypulse DA-2.03e USB DAC is a wonderful product in its under a kilobuck weight class. It provides tremendous flexibility in a hi-fi or PC-based music system and will provide hours of satisfying music without breaking the bank. Highly recommended."
