PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC

Fully Balanced Analog Preamplifier with full-featured DAC 
In like new excellent condition. Includes original box, packing, manual, and remote.

The Stellar Gain Cell™ combines the benefits of an exceptional analog
preamplifier and a full-featured DAC. Fully balanced analog circuitry
from input to output, the Stellar Gain Cell builds upon years of
research and innovation in the art of Class A analog amplification and
state-of-the-art digital reproduction. Together, or separately, they
create an extraordinarily rich, full-bodied musical experience few
standalone products can match. The Stellar Gain Cell is the perfect
foundation for those unwilling to compromise sound quality. Rich. Lush.
