<Price Reduced for final time> For sale is my Empirical Audio OverDrive SE USB DAC with all the available OverDrive Signature upgrades, which include: D/A Hynes Regs, Analog Hynes Regs, Ground Plane
mods, USB Hynes, CuTF V-Caps, Empirical TurboClock, etc… I am the original owner, and take extremely good care of my equipment.

If you Google the upgraded versions of this DAC, you'll find this is truly a world-class component.

This unit has the older style chassis, and I believe was one of the first one or two units Steve made, before moving to the new chassis style. Thus, the deep discount you'll get on this unit vs a 'loaded' version using the newer style chassis. 

Unit comes with all original boxes and manual, all AC adapters, and factory supplied cable that sends the power from the Substation to the OverDrive. Current software drivers may be obtained from Empirical Audio, and are based on M2Tech drivers.

Crosstalk (typical @0dBFS): -118dB
Crosstalk (@ 20kHz 0dBFS): -110dB
Frequency Response (-10Hz to 20kHz): -0.6dB
IMD (with 100K ohm load): -106dB
Dynamic Range (A-weighted 1kHz): 106dB
RCA Output Level: 1VRMS or 2.3VRMS
XLR Output Level: 2VRMS or 4.5VRMS
These links show the impulse response of the Overdrive DAC at 24/96 and 24/192. Hardly any pre-ring and the pulse gets almost to 1.5V (the input level). Pulse on the 24/96 reaches 1.233V. Other DACs have more pre-ring and never get anywhere near the amplitude of the input signal. This demonstrates the fast slew-rate of this DAC and the grip that it has on transients.

NOTE: Seller reserves the right not to sell to buyers with less than excellent feedback.

Buyer will pay for shipping including insurance. 3.5% fee will be added for Paypal or Credit Card U.S., 4% for Canadian Paypal or Credit Cards. I will also take Cashier’s Checks, Money Order, or bank wire transfer, and can ship out when funds clear (up to 14 days for a Cashier’s Check). I ship via  UPS and get reasonable rates.

Legitimate offers will be considered; low-ballers will be politely ignored. 

I will ship outside of the US or Canada after bank wire transfer is completed. This unit is 110-120V, 60 Hz AC.

Condition is excellent, but rating 8/10 simply because this is the older chassis.
