I bought this DAC towards the end of 2011 expecting to get into computer audio in a big way and wanted this DAC so I could use USB or Firewire to listen to files directly off of my computer. I also thought I might start ripping DSD files and this is one of the few DACs that will play native DSD files from your computer. But I haven't had time to take advantage of what this DAC can do and continue to use it just with SPDIF from my Squeezebox, which wastes its capability. I also recently built a DAC from the TP Buffalo III kit that sounds as good (but not better) on SPDIF. Since I don't use all the features that make this DAC so great (Firewire, USB, DSD, and Headphone amp), I'd like to move it to someone who can use its capabilities. It's only recently been reviewed online and gotten rave reviews. Take a look here:
http://www.audiostream.com/content/mytek-stereo-192-dsd-dac-0The DAC is in like new condition and probably has less than 100 hours on it. I've updated the firmware to the latest version v1.6.3b2, available at Mytek's website:
http://www.mytekdigital.com/download_library/index.htm I have upgraded the SPDIF from the stock RCA connector to a superior 75ohm BNC connector, which improves the sound quality for SPDIF.
I can take photos for those interested but it's the silver preamp version which is easily googled. It's in like new condition. List price these days is $1625.
Thanks,
