I have a fully modded DAC1 (with the latest update mods also installed). It has the i2s mods too. I will be giving the offramp turbo2 with i2s out also. I am asking the total of $1700 for both.

Mod Description
-------------------
OPA-627 op-amps - $1000
Turbomod - $1200
I2S interface - $500
BNC/Transformer upgrade - $150

It has upto date mods.

Cosmetics
------------
It does not look new. No dents. Few scratches, near the screws. I had replaced all its original screwed rubber feet, by pasting different feet, as one of the original feet was lost.

Volume Control blemish
---------------------------
In the pre-amp mode, turning the volume knob causes slight crackles. Also there is not full resistance in the knob when it crosses between min and max volume position.


I have always used this in the line-out mode and it sounds the best with the I2S input. I am including the offramp turbo2 USB with I2S out.

Interested people, please PM me.

I will keep them paired, as it sounds the best with the I2S from the off-ramp USB.

Gentlemen,

I have reduced the price to $1700. Do not read too much into the volume control blemish, if you care about it, it just needs the volume potentiometer to be replaced. it is the lineout mode which used to sound the best, which is perfect. Please do not let me go to the audiogon with this.
