I'm reluctantly selling my Big 7, in excellent condition. Several changes in my life recently mean I have to let it go to free up cash and give me more space in my new abode (this DAC is not surprisingly "Big"). Here's the spec:

* Voltage 230V
* PCM 384 and DSD 256
* USB and SPDIF inputs
* Dueland caps
* Switchable tubes - "45" (= EML45, WE101D, 245, 345 etc) and  "2A3" (= 2A3, 300B, 6A3 etc)

I'm including a pair of EML 45 solid and Sylvania 6A3 tubes. Also stock 274B rectifier.

I am the second owner and bought in March 2015, this Big 7 is only 12 months old. Since then I have paid approx. £800 to Lampizator to upgrade the DSD to quad rate 256 and have the voltage swapped from 115V to 230V. There is now very nearly 5 years transferable warranty remaining as the unit was thoroughly checked over by Lampizator in Poland as part of the DSD upgrade and voltage swap.

Asking price is £4,635 £4,300 £4,100 all-in. This is about £500 less than I paid 4 months ago, and since then as stated I have paid £800 for upgrade works. Stated price includes paypal fees and secure courier shipping (I have lots of good feedback on Ebay and Head-Fi).

I should clarify that this DAC is effectively "Gen 5" rather than "Gen 4" as shown on the plate as it has also been upgraded to accept rolling tubes (101D, 422A, 274B, 300B etc) and rolling rectifiers (5U4G, 5AR4, GZ34) rather than only 6x5 for rectifier.

Final price reduction to £4,100 all-in. I can't go any lower and think its a good deal for somebody who wants one of these fantastic DACs.
