Beautiful Italian digital to analog converter in the "Jeff Rowland style" faceted silver faceplate. Hard to photograph but very attractive in person. Any marks are minor and do not detract from the physical beauty of the unit.

This is the mk. I version of the converter. It is all original - no modifications have ever been done. The mk. I version is the more sought after version due to its discrete output stages and its ability to be modified by several aftermarket firms.

A Google search will turn up several great reviews from Enjoy the Music and Stereo Times.

Specifications:

Digital Input Frequency: 32kHz - 192kHz, up to 24 bit
Dynamic Range: 126dB (24 bit input)
S/N Ratio: 113dB

Inputs:

2 SPDIF
1 TOSLINK
1 XLR AES/EBU
1 I2S RJ45

This is a North American voltage unit. Contact North Star Design for details and cost of conversion to other voltages.

Great DAC with multiple inputs and outputs. Only selling due to the purchase of a Lyngdorf TDAi2200.

Personal checks, cashiers checks and/or Money Orders MUST clear my bank prior to shipment of the DAC. PayPal users please add 3% to final cost. International buyers MUST use PayPal.

Thanks for looking!
