Have original box, remote control, manual, etc. I've been using a different power cord than the stock one supplied, but I'm sure I have the original cord or something similar around here, and can include that.
Excellent condition. It's been in my rack since I got it. Great DAC and the headphone amp is superb with Sennheiser HD650s and Sony MDRV6's. Didn't actually use it as line stage, but I did tend to use the variable, rather than fixed, output into my preamp most of the time. Only selling because I bought a Benchmark DAC.

The all-time honor goes to the Logitech Squeezebox Touch, which I still think is the most user-friendly and best bargain yet produced in the digital age. The HD-DAC1 is just as straightforward as the Squeezebox Touch, and it worked flawlessly while it was in my system.
Sonically, the HD-DAC1 is a midrange champ. Melody lines were musically propulsive and rhythm sections sounded right on target. While its ability to handle upper frequencies was smoother than a number of DAC's I've heard, brass or string sections could sometimes sound a bit strained with dense recordings played at higher volumes. That said, the HD-DAC1 had an authoritative -- dare I say, reference-level -- grasp of the lower registers, which provided nice punch in systems that might sound bass-shy with a leaner DAC. It handled both PCM and DSD well, and it brought some pep to my high-resolution library.
It has become customary for manufacturers to hint at "trickle-down" benefits when defending stratospheric pricing. Those promises don't always materialize, but Marantz has managed to do more than just tease. The HD-DAC1 is an excellent way for anyone to get a serious dose of audiophile thrills without breaking the bank. While setting the bar so high at a price so low is bound to make life difficult for other manufacturers, it makes it a lot easier to convince regular folks to join the audiophile fun. And if that's not good for our hobby, what is?"
