yeah I know, that's a great deal!

this is actually a dac-1.1 as it has had the power supply upgrade.

the only reason I pm'd you about it was because I knew you'd be out here... saves on shipping costs and worries. No pressure though, think about it for awhile.

i got the chance to listen to one not too long ago, my only complaint is its odd size.  id rather it be a 1RU piece of gear than that block, but hey for 500 for a top quality DA im not complaining :-)

it is small enough to tuck away just about anywhere... I don't have rack mounted gear and needed something I could just stick in the corner.

Trey, try a Benchmark DAC-1, you can use it as a pre-amp b/c it has a analog vollume. I run mine directly into my amp. I run my DAT, CD transport & DVD player into it. You can select three digital inputs & the convertor is great.
I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.
