Brand New, Unopened Box (see picture). This is the original Alpha Reference DAC Series 1 that was selling for $16,000,00. This unit is not Series 2 which retails for $19,500 but it can be upgraded by the manufacturer for $3,500. So, you could have a brand new Series 2 for about $4,000 less. [The pictures of the unit are from the Berkeley's web site since I didn't open the original packaging]
The unit was sitting and waiting for my listening room renovation that's taking too long so I decided to sell it. It's probably the best DAC out there and deserves to be used.
Reference DAC Series 1 with Ultra low phase noise Precision Clocking at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz sampling; XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced variable outputs, AES - XLR,; SPDIF1 - BNC, SPDIF2 - BNC, and TOSLINK digital inputs.
The Absolute Sound review says: "The Berkeley Alpha DAC Reference Series is not only the absolute state of the art in digital-to-analog conversion, it also goes far beyond even this superlative to redefine what’s possible in digital playback. This is a landmark product in that it crosses a threshold of sound quality and musical expressiveness that renders moot the idea that digital can only aspire to mimic analog rather than offer its own set of virtues."
Payment by check (bank, personal). If using PayPal, buyer pays 3 fee. If international, PayPal or wire transfer only
