AVA Topp Hat DAC without a case

I have this dac but do not have the case for it.  So if you have a box lying around you can put this in pretty quickly as it comes with connections and IEC wired in.

Pics later.

$100 takes it.

Actually this is an AVA Omega DAC (our first generation 16bit 4x oversampling parallel processing Philips chip set).  I believe Red removed it from its original chassis and placed it in a prettier one for his own use for a while.  He must have since lost the original chassis.

Assuming all the parts are there in working order, (DAC board and power supply board with transformer), we can install the circuit set in a new AVA DAC chassis (switches, jacks, faceplate, AC outlets and all) for $200.  It still will be a really nice DAC, but not upgradeable to hi bit rate operation.
