Selling my Dac 19 MK III w/USB/Coaxial/Toslink inputs because I've upgraded to one of Audio-Gd's higher end offerings. I bought the Dac 19 MK III out of curiosity because of all the positive comments on various forums about the sound and over the top build quality. It thoroughly creamed the mhdt Paradisea that it replaced, with more dynamics, extension and lovely silky tone. Must have something to do with those lovely Burr-Brown PCM1704UK dac chips. The dac is in excellent condition but has some scratches on the top aluminum plate. I'll try and post some detailed photos in the next couple of days. $340 shipped in the continental U.S. Paypal as gift or add 3%. Local buyers in the SF Bay area welcome.

Just curious, what did you upgrade to and how does the sound compare/improved?

I can't make any comparisons because I don't have the dac yet. I'm going to an all balanced system so I sprung for the Audio-Gd Reference 5. Honestly, I wouldn't sell the Dac 19 Mk III because it meets all my needs but unfortunately lacks the balanced outputs.

Tad too late! Would've been interested in a local deal.

Can't tell you how many local deals I've missed out on

If you're patient one of these will pop up on head-fi where they are sold more regularly.
