I have 1 one $3500.00 silver factory refurbished Comet Plus DAC available for only $1999.00. This is a new unit that has never left the factory. The Plus means it includes the $600.00 optional external power supply. This DAC has an extremely small cosmetic defect. It looks great and comes with the 5 year factory warranty. It is 100% sonically perfect with all new electronics with the latest firmware. It has never left the factory. Only 1 in silver to sell and only to ship to US customers.

"That is what the Exogal Comet represents for me, a sizable step
toward a sensation of living sound, not a reproduced electronic
production. Though we still cannot completely capture the nuances of a
live performance, the Comet is superb at rendering a sensation good
enough to fool the ears. The Comet is my favorite DAC in the under $4K
space, and should be heard by anyone seeking a no-compromise digital
experience. Especially for those with lesser digital file playback
systems, this DAC can save your system, and revolutionize your listening
experience. It is the only digital treatment to best the reigning 32
bit high frequency scheme."
"The best news is that Exogal has just gotten underway. The Comet
blazes a wide and bright path toward future products, and the savvy
system builder would do well to own the Comet, and pay close attention
to Exogal’s future components."
In their Component list for 2015 they said:
"Sweetest DAC: The Exogal Comet does not simply alter the digital signal, it replaces the signal entirely.
I’m a believer; for the past six months no matter how much I refine the
signal (Remember the HQPlayer software? I have it feeding the DAC now
with 32 bit/6.1MHz!) the Comet DAC turns it into golden sound. The Comet
even makes streaming music from Rhapsody, processed at 16bit/44.1kHz, more than acceptable for casual listening. The preamp section of the
Comet is stupendous, so clean and robust it will complement the most
gorgeous amps. I have used both extremely high power and low power amps
with it, both with outstanding results."

In
the Hifi + review they said: "The Exogal is remarkable value for money
and could quite happily sit at the hub of many a high-end digital
system. "
Exogal (which means Out of this Galaxy) is a Minnesota company
that makes DAC's and amplifiers. Its DNA comes from original Wadia
engineers. Jim Kinne who designed the original Wadia gear is legendary
and did the original Wadia DigiMaster™ products that are still considered exceptional. Jim is now designing state of the art products at affordable prices.
The
Exogal Comet is a high performance digital to analog audio converter
(DAC) that is also a preamplifier with an analog input for your
phono stage. Just connect your computer, or other digital or analog
sources, and
experience exceptional audiophile quality sound. The Comet DAC does
everything you would expect a high-end DAC to do, including balanced and
unbalanced analog outputs, digital volume control and asynchronous USB
input - all at a sensible price.
The Comet uses
an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) for its DAC. That means that
unlike the competition that uses a commercially available DAC chip from
from companies like ESS, Wolfson or Burr brown, the Comet is all
programmed by Exogal and is upgradable over the web. So it offers built
in NON Obsolescence.
Comet
reviews have been exceptional.
THE ABSOLUTE SOUND REVIEW May / June 2015
Review of the Comet by Vade Forester.
He
says: "As a DAC and front end for digital sources, the Comet is a
spectacular success and, especially at its moderate price, I strongly
recommend you audition it in your system."

More and more – the word on the street about Exogal is spreading. Here is another new
comment – this time from Jeff Fritz while reviewing a $65,000 dollar Swiss-made
amplifier. Yes, the Exogal Comet is his Preamp/DAC.
My
setup has changed over the past year. I’ve ditched my analog preamp for a DAC
with input switching: currently, the Exogal Comet ($3000)
with optional external power supply ($600 if purchased separately; you get a
$100 break if you buy them together, for a total of $3,500). The Comet has
increasingly impressed me over the past few months. In fact, it’s fair to say
that I didn’t rave hard enough about it in my review (to be fair to myself, I
didn’t yet have the external power supply when I wrote that article). It’s a
giant killer. The external power supply added solidity to the soundstage and
“blacker” backgrounds overall, thus raising the performance level several notches.
"I've never heard such a detailed, resolving DAC at this price. ... It sounds great not
only for its price, but regardless of price." Soundstage
AUDIOSTREAM REVIEW 3-5-2015
Michael Lavorgna reviewed the Comet.
He says: "I'm not going to sugarcoat this: The Exogal Comet DAC is one fine sounding piece of technology."
Ultra High-End Audio and Home Theater Review
Frank
Berryman gives EXOGAL’s Comet DAC a glowing review and concludes that
the “...Exogal Comet has few if any peers in its class..”
The custom Exogal software allows the digital volume control to lose
no resolution at any volume level so it makes a great front end to drive
an amp. The analog input allows connection of an analog source such as a
phono stage so no preamp is required in a digital system with a
turntable.
The
Comet is designed for real-life listening with sound that’s amazing,
whatever the setting. It offers easy digital upgrades for hardware and
software. It is controlled by the Exogal Remote App for Android or Apple
iOS as well as the included remote control.
- Asynchronous USB, AES/EBU, SPDIF, Toslink, and line level Analog input
- Direct connection analog outputs with 32-bit Digital Volume Control
- Analog Outputs: one pair balanced (XLR), one pair unbalanced (RCA), one stereo Headphone
- Single ended and balanced analog
outputs can be used simultaneously. Single ended outputs can be

Android phone or tablet (running 4.3 or higher with BLE support) or an
iPad, iPhone 4s or newer, or iPod Touch. - Five year factory warranty
