Further Information:
Beautifully made and gorgeous sound. Very versatile unit. It has volume control and have used it as a preamp direct to powered speakers, as well as just a dac to a dedicated pre. Both ways sound beautiful. I used this after having an RME ADI2 dac and was blown away by the big sound stage, holographic imaging and solid impactful bass.
I imported this unit from the US. It is 110v and I will include a 1000w isolated stepdown transformer and xindak power cable. I have just had it serviced to replace a capacitor that had gone out of spec and impacted the channel balance and the same Capacitor on both channels have been professionally replaced
The RRP for this model was approx $6900 in Australia in 2016/17
