Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Reference Series 2 MQA

8 month old unit in excellent condition kept in air conditioned non smoking pet free humidity controlled formal living room area. I am original owner bought at authorized dealer in California. The unit is the top of the line Alpha Reference 2 MQA. The dealer installed multiple sets of Synergistic Research ECT and Synergistic Research Blue fuse elevating the quality of the sound to another level adding approximately $700 in upgrades. This was better sounding than my Vivaldi 4 box. The MQA was spectacular with services like Tidal. This was my first go around with computer audio and after 8 months I seldom used it . Call me old fashioned but I kept going back to vinyl and cd. Company states they can upgrade reference 1 to version 2,while true,the company takes forever to be able to upgrade. That is why i bought a series 2.
