For your consideration is an opportunity to own the stunning Soulution 746 for a fraction of the $125,000 retail. In my showroom, the 746 easily toppled the mighty dCS Vivaldi fitted with a Nordost Valhalla loom ($200,000 total) and just about every other competitor. You can almost call this Swiss beauty cheap with a straight face. It is in excellent condition with a few small blemishes that are VERY hard to spot. There is a very faint mark on back of remote, small mark on lower right bottom of the main chassis, and a couple of faint marks on the rear top edge of the power supply but is otherwise is new. I only sell extremely high end equipment and am very critical of condition so expect to be thrilled with this unit as it is really very clean. It was upgraded to a 746 from a recent 745, not an outdated 740. We have just fitted it with a new Teac VRDS NEO transport mechanism under warranty so it is functionally as good as a new one. The 746 is certainly the final word in reference CD playback and also a world-class DAC with Toslink, SPDIF, and AES/EBU inputs. There is no USB input as Soulution prefers to use external USB or Firewire to AES/EBU converters for computer playback. These converters run $500 on up for a good one. All packing, remote, power cables, and printed manual are included. Due to the size and weight of the boxes, this will need to ship motor-freight for to ensure safe arrival. Keep your eye on our other listings as we will be adding a Soulution 720 preamp and 711 power amp very soon!

Questions for the seller |
---|
Can I use it as a DAC as well ? What is the difference between 745 and 746 ? The 746 has a fully functional DAC section with multiple inputs and can process a USB input from Soulution's 590 USB converter or any number of USB to AES/EBU converters on the market.
The 746 has a much more advanced DSP and DAC section than the 745. The performance increase could safely be called 20-30%. |
How old and how does compare current DSP dacs? As I mention in the ad, I have had the 746 against the dCS Vivaldi w/Nordost Valhalla loom in my showroom. That is a $200,000 setup and the 746 easily outperforms it. I have yet to find anything better other than Soulution's own 760 DAC. This unit started as a 745 that was sold new about 4 years ago. It was upgraded to 746 early this year by Solution and has also been fitted with a new CD drive. So it is 100% current and 100% fresh mechanically. If you want to use it with a computer, you either use the Solution 590 USB converter or any other USB to AES/EBU converter. |
