For sale ECdesigns PowerDAC-S. This is minimalistic design with toslink input and speaker outputs.
No additional bells and whistles, the whole design is focused on achieving the highest possible sound quality.
It can drive any headphones using included adapter and high-efficiency speakers (or low efficiency in near-field): 4W at 2ohm, 3.5W at 4ohm, 2.6W at 8ohm.
It can be used as DAC-preamp and drive external power amp using speaker-RCA adapter.
More info about the design philosophy is on ecdesigns.nl.
John Brown at EC designs provides prompt support and can answer any technical questions.
This is older model and was recently replaced with PowerDAC-SX,
but the general design is very similar except the SX model has higher power output.
Form-factor is a little unconventional, but it takes less space than a regular-shaped box.
It is 2-years old, but was used sparingly and in excellent/as new condition.
I use it to drive 250 ohm headphones (through adapter) with great results, didn't try speakers.
Reason for selling - upgrading to the latest PowerDAC-SX.
I can email user manual and OB speaker design (using Visaton or Tang Bang W8-2145 drivers) recommended for this model on request.
