$5400. I’ll cover shipping to lower 48. Add 3% for PayPal or use Friends and Family.

I’ll probably regret selling this DAC but I moved recently and promised my wife I’d sell some gear to help pay for house projects.

This is an heirloom piece DAC from Berkeley Audio. 30lbs of solid aluminum and just stellar sounding. Detailed, natural, never harsh, huge sound stage. I am the second owner. Purchased from Echo Audio in Portland 4 months ago. They acquired it from the original owner. DAC was upgraded to MQA by Berkeley. Photo shows DAC working in MQA mode. Will ship with remote in original box.

DAC also works as an excellent preamp sounding as good as any preamp I’ve heard.

More photos upon request possible.

Shipping included in the lower 48 at my price. Add 3% for PayPal or use Friends and Family to waive the fee.
