E-Bay is the only place they are sold. You have to be patient and keep searching. One is listed every week, or so.

You can also try to email Jim at mhdtgang@yahoo.com and negotiate directly with him. He usually sells the Paradisea for about USD 500. Anything less is a bonus. Although eBay seems to be the only way to buy the DAC, I don't see any reason why he would refuse to sell via email if thee price is right!

Damn, this DAC is HOT!    The price is going to go up if you people don't stop saying good things about it.   :D


And when they were selling for mid $400's, I held out for a used one because I was hoping to pay under $400.   :lol:

But remember, if someone has one for sale, I get first dibs because I posted my WTB add first   :thumb:

It took me a month to get one.Every time I would check for one it would allready be sold.Checked one morning at 6:30 am and it had just been listed. Grabbed it right then.
Be patient my young apprentice, and a Paradisea will be yours.

Patience....
Big buzz on them now and as a result, many are being purchased new.
Only a matter of time before they start appearing on the used market.

You can take dat to da bank!

Too late - unless you were the one that got it.

I snagged mine over the weekend on an auction.  Paid a bit more than I thought but shipping is cheaper and it should be here this weekend.

Bryan,

If you snagged your Paradisea on Sunday night, glad to see a fellow GASer got it AND that I didn't raise your final purchase price.  I got a chance to hear Scott's at a mini-session a few months back.  Definitely liked it.

Have fun with it.

Yup - that was the one.  I didn't think it would go quite that high but at least I have one now. Thanks for not bumping it. I think they're going to start going for a lot more.  There's a lot of buzz about it - not just here. 

After the holidays, we're going to have a get together at my place. Hopefully by then, I'll have the preamp mods done (and maybe the Paradisea mods too  :roll: ), and Klaus will have my amps done.  Keep an eye out here and stop over.
