SOLD

Only thing to report is one Diode that indicates its on is weaker than the other.

PRICE: 900 plus shipping.

For sale is my excellent AudioLogic 34 MXL Vacuum Tube Digital Audio Processor.
Quite a unique design by the late Jerry Ozment (previously engaged by Jadis, VAC, Conrad Johnson, Altis, and Thor Audio for their DAC development) that is based on Asahi Kasei 4393 Advanced Multi-Bit 96kHz 24-Bit converter ICs and has interstage transformer coupling with tube output, and supports hi-res formats of up to 24/96.
The 34MXL model was marketed around 10 years ago, and its MSRP at that time is reported at around $4500.
This particular version of 34 MXLis single-ended, with RCA and AES/EBU coaxial digital S/PDIF inputs and RCA outputs.
Key Specs:
Sample Rate................................... ...16 kHz to 96 kHz
OverSampling........................... ..........64 to 256 Fs
Frequency Response.............................4 Hz to 22.5 kHz +0, .25 dB
Dynamic Range.................................. .104 dB
Signal to Noise Ratio............................104 dB 4 Hz to 22.1 kHz
Digital Silence................................ ....-102dB unweighted
Distortion (THD + IM)...........................<0.02% full scale, full bandwidth
Output impedance.............................. .225 ohms
Output level .....................................+12 dbm

The stock MIT film caps have been replaced with the excellent (and expensive - for $192/pr!) top of the lineClarityCap MRs that can easily be seen in the pictures as a pair of huge blue cans on the right hand side of the circuit board. Also, all RCA connectors have been replaced with Vampire Wire gold-plated connectors, and stock signal wiring has been upgraded with Neotech UPOCC Copper 22AWG PTFE flat solid core copper wires in teflon. Stock tubes have been replaced with NOS gold-pin Amperex PQ 6922.
