              FS: Audio by Van Alstine Insight + DAC with extras     $150

Original owner, purchased 7/30/08 ($899), chip upgrade to Burr Brown OPA627AP 3/13/09. A fine & solid example of Frank's gear, rated at 8 of 10 for age. Still sounds good, no issues, simply too many DACs. Currently using his new DAC 5 unit, still have an Ultra Hybrid DAC for occasional use. Unit's only real issue is flexibility, single coax input, with RCA outputs. Soundwise I like it every bit as much as either of my newer Topping D50 or D50S units, they just have the variety of inputs. DAC 5 unit solved the variety issue.

To assist in addressing the input issue included with the base unit is (1) Inday DA4X-R switcher unit (green or blue LED) with or without remote ($129 list, purchased in 2008) for Coax & Optical input (4 ea), and (1) USB to Coax M2Tech HiFace or HiFace2-R unit for computer USB output ($185 purchased in 2010 & 2012). Note, the HiFace unit is only effective with NT/XP & earlier versions of Msft operating systems & requires driver download, the HiFace2 unit is effective for Windows 7 & some higher versions. As I understand it they both work directly with MAC systems. ymmv

Inday info here -  https://www.inday.com/da4x.html                  HiFace info here - https://www.m2tech.biz/

$250 $200 $175 $150 plus shipping & insurance, in original packaging w/HiFace unit, separate box for Inday unit, by (USPS/UPS/FedEx) buyer's choice. Available for local pickup for cash 98042 Seattle-Tacoma area. Personal check or Postal Money Order, when funds clear units will ship. Any questions please PM. First time selling anywhere, been here since '08 if that's worth anything. Thank you for looking.

Hi,
I've tried to look this up but I couldn't find a certain answer - which processor does this use?  Is it the TDA1543?
Thanks,
Pete

Hello Pete,
Yes, the processor is the Phillips TDA1543. Hope that helps.
Regards,
JD
