After several years of buying/trying/selling various tube and SS DACs including the Nixon TubeDAC, Monica, MHDT labs Paridisea, ack DAC, etc., I finally settled on the amazing Promitheus DAC...After spending about a year with it, I replaced the opamps with discrete opamps from Burson audio ($200) and put a Felix AC filter (~$30) on the incoming power supply to clean up the incoming power...Its worked flawlessly since I bought it and has always made wonderful music...I'd characterize the sound as involving with good PRAT and an organic feel to the music...imo, it's the best non-OS DAC I tried, actually probably the best DAC I've tried...But system and family changes are requiring me to downscale...my loss is your gain  :duh: :duh:

For more information about this DAC check here: http://www.promitheusaudio.com/dac.htm

It has two digital inputs (BNC and coaxial, not USB like the latest version) and a single set of RCA analog outputs...Also, standard IEC power connector...

I have about $800 into this unit currently and would like to get $500 plus shipping...If paying via Paypal, I'll split the fees...

Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, let me know....

Bump with a price change for AC'ers...$500 shipped...Also, I'm going to list it on audiogon later today but will still honor the AC pricing until the end of the week...

great DAC...you will not be disappointed  :thumb: :thumb:

Did you hear something?  I think it was a bump...

anyway, still available...$500 shipped...the last piece of gear sitting lonely on my work bench looking for a good home...an amazing DAC regardless of price...a fellow AC'er preferred it from a value proposition over the Altmann...I believe he said it was 85% of the performance for <50% of the price...with these upgrades, I'd say its closer to 90% and looks better too!  (unless you like the open circuit look)...

Bump...Still available...some interest but nothing ever came to fruition...Next step will be audiogon but I'd prefer to save the transaction fees and sell here...

PM with any questions or interest...
