In anticipation of the arrival of my new BDA-3 DAC, I am moving the BUC-1 USB Converter that has been converting the USB from me Mac mini to Coax.
This is a discontinued Bryston product so information on the web is a bit hard to find but here is a link to the video Bryston posted on their youtube channel introducing the BUC-1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xyseSclZYw I bought this as a supposed NOS unit. It comes in the original box, with a color printed manual, the original Bryston branded usb "key" drive with Windows drivers (see photo) - Mac does not need any. No power cord is included as there was no power cord in the box when I received it.
Asking $450 - Price includes USPS Priority shipping CONUS, tracked, insured, and PayPal fees.
Thank you.
