This well cared for unit, in a smoke free home, recently had a new HDMI 1.4 board installed, along with the latest software (both late last fall).  The unit has no marks or blemished.
Sound, both for two and multi-channel (SACD) music as well as for cable signals and movies is quite remarkable.  See the reviews.
Buyer pays for Paypal fee and shipping costs.

This unit is currently in the Hamptons on Long Island and can be auditioned there.

A sample of review from Robert Harley in The Absolute Sound follows:


When playing multichannel music and
film sources, a controller’s DACs, preamplifier stage, and
surround-decoding all come together to determine the unit’s overall
sound quality. In this regard, the SSP-800 is, by a significant margin,
the best-sounding controller I’ve heard. The SSP-800’s smooth and
grainless reproduction of timbre, coupled with its lack of glare,
created an immersive listening experience that didn’t induce fatigue.
Many controllers overlay the presentation with a steely hardness that
doesn’t encourage high playback levels, is uninvolving, and quickly
becomes tiresome. I’ve lived with the SSP-800 for many months and
listened to quite a number of film soundtracks and musical performances,
often at high playback level for extended periods, with no sense of
fatigue. I also never thought that the SSP-800 was limiting the
performance of my reference system; in fact, it was wonderful to have a
controller that fully revealed the rest of the system’s capabilities.



Another testament to the SSP-800’s
sound quality is its apparent ability to “disappear” in the signal path
and reveal differences between recordings, particularly those with
high-resolution soundtracks such as the Blu-ray Legends of Jazz Showcase.
Although recorded in the same studio, each performance by a different
group has its own sonic flavor—a flavor that wasn’t homogenized by the
SSP-800. It was on these high-res sources where the SSP-800 really
revealed its prowess, with excellent dynamic contrasts, no glare, deep
bass extension, and a resolution of fine detail that consistently
engaged me.
