Artem_M · « **on:** 27 May 2011, 02:39 pm »

looking to buy inexpensive DAC like PS Audio Digital or Super Link I or II, Theta DS Pro/Basic/Prime, Parasound D/AC-1100/1500/2000, Audio Alchemy DDE3 in good working order. Cosmetic condition is not very important:)
My budget is $100-$200 (depends from model and condition) + shipping cost

The payment trough PayPal, shipping to Detroit

Send me PM if you have something like that

I have a Theta Cobalt 307 if you're interested. Not much info online about it, but I can probably answer anything about it.

spend a little more, this is definitely worth it. this is being sold by a bud of mine from the yahoo fm tuna forum; i would be all over it, but i awreddy have two modded di/o's.

the seller sent me pics of the innards, (wayne does great work); i can send them to you, or contact the seller directly.

this is a great dac, seriously. like me, the seller has two; unlike me, he's letting one go.

I had this DAC and compared with PS Audio Superlink Gen II - PS Audio was winner

different horses for different courses.

i have never heard the ps audio. (have you heard a properly modded art di/o?) but, comparing my humble di/o to relatively recent modern gear running into the thousands of dollars, and finding it as good, basically stopped me from pursuing digital upgrades.

ymmv,

Hello,

I have an EAD DSP 7000 Mark III for sale. I have it priced under Audiogon average price. It is listed at $525 but I would let it go for $450. I know that is above the stated budget but this unit is a real 8.5/10 with all paperwork, original double box and packing. It was sent to EAD in 1997 for the MK II to MK III upgrade and given a clean bill of health and new Series III faceplate. Please let me know if you are interested.

this guy doesn't wanna split his gear. mebbe if you buy the dde3, he'll consider selling me the transport and dti... mebbe he'll sell the dde3 separately, regardless of what i do...
