DACs and Streamers

I have for sale a Topping D90 DAC in black. This is the original MQA-free version with AK4499 DAC chip.
 
The DAC is in immaculate condition and fully functional. It comes in its original box, included are remote control, Bluetooth antenna, power cord and manual. If the buyer picks it up I’ll also throw in a 1m MCRU shielded power cable with Martin Kaiser plugs (worth $70).

Hello all,
 
The time has come for the house to be redecorated and unfortunately all of my Hi-Fi equipment has been replaced by SONOS.
 
I listed everything as a bundle and received many requests to buy individual items and whilst I did not want to split, I have decided I might need to.
 
Here is one of many items now available for sale individually.
 
Thanks,
 
LG 
 
Linn Akurate DSM.
 
Performs role of streamer/DAC/pre-amp.
 
This has been paired with ATC actives, Dynaudio passives and most recently, PMC passives, and has been superb with all.
 
I will be sad to see this go as will need to spend big $$$ one day to get to this level again.
 
Original box included.

I am selling all of my setup due to relocating. 
 
The La Scala is the current MKii Optologic model. It is in excellent condition, no visible mark or scratch. 
 
I replaced the stock Gold Lion tube with a 1958 NOS Telefunken ECC801S, which brought it's performance to another level. 
 
I will include the original Gold Lion tube, a Mullard ECC81 tube ( cost $130 ), and the above mentioned 1958 NOS Telefunken ECC801S, which is the best ECC81/12AT7 ( cost $650 ), see picture
 
I have the original packing box, can ship interstate at buyer's cost.

Unit in great condition. Have too many DACs and need to cull a few. Can post Australia wide for $15. 

Price includes shipping and sellers fee.

Good working order with one minor, non-audio issue: switching between optical and coax can take a couple of clicks. This will not bother you unless you switch inputs on a regular basis. An extra click and it is fine. Unit does not have the optional USB input.

Will box safely for postage from 7000. Power cord included upon request. 
 
Not sure on pricing for this one. Will slowly drop the price until it sells here, so grab a bargain if you are patient! No offers, thanks. 
 

SALE PENDING: DEPOSIT PAID

The Arce is only a few months old and the only reason I am Selling is I am upgrading to the Denafrips Arcas streamer .
The Arce is a stunning sounding streamer that soundwise compares to the Lumins and Auralics without the high prices.
it doesn’t have the features though of those units. Dac/screen etc.
You will need Roon to stream Tidal and Qobuz and it has to be connected by Ethernet cable as it does not have WiFi,  also it will not stream Tidal or Qobuz  without Roon as yet but this is coming thru firmware upgrade.  
So basically if your a Roon user and want the best possible sound without spending thousands this is for you.
It outputs USB/AES/i2s/Coax and optical to a Dac and also can be reclocked. Playback options also include
HQPlayer NAA, Airplay.
 It also has playback of local files through USB, SD card, and NAS which I have not used so can’t comment on these options

This item was purchased by me from Geoff at Hey Now Hifi and has lived an easy life in my rack 

An excellent sounding dac and a regretful sale. Selling only as i want to try something new and need the funds. The rca at the back had come loose and have been replaced by a Technician with new ones.  All functions work as it should and i have never had any issues with it.
 
Demo and Pickup Eltham,Vic. Shipping at buyers cost.

Boxed as new - used once - was a gift with some high-end headphones. Australian purchased (Hey Now - June 2022) and receipt. Sounds really incredible for a DAC of any size let alone its diminutive footprint. I wasn't a fan of Chord until I heard this pocket rocket. Plenty of power too - I managed to use it to drive the DCA Stealth (which it came with).
 
Shipping at cost - $12 standard, $30 express.
buyer to pay PayPal fees if any (F&F preferred).
 
Thank you for looking!

Purchased new from Caxton Audio, Brisbane in 2020, in perfect condition with all original box, cables, manuals etc.
Price negotiable.
Can ship if required - contact me for costings.
 

Topping D70 Pro Sabre Dac in Black
Mint Condition
Still under warranty
Includes bonus Curious Usb cable

I purchased this new from Len Wallis in Lane Cove in March 2014. Display of the NDX ( all the original ones failed ) was replaced under warranty by Len Wallis. I have upgraded to an NDX2.
 
THIS SALE INCLUDES A NAIM UNITISERVE SSD - NAIM music server that will rip your CD's 8x oversampling in a "bit perfect" fashion. The UNITISERVE was $4k alone. 
 
This NDX has the DAB module ( a $700 option when new ) and is the option that I have used the most in all of my NAIM streamers because of the extraordinary digital radio selection and musicality that can be delivered over DAB. Do not make the mistake of purchasing one without this option..
 
This unit has always been on a NAIM rack and has been powered by either an XPS2DR or an CD555 DR power supply.
 
NAIM boxes and original packaging for both items.

This MSB Discrete DAC comes with two power modules and the ISL USB connection, which means it is as good as a Discrete DAC gets. Which is very, very good. I preferred using it direct to a power amp, simply because no preamp improved it in any way. Its sound is effortless and enchanting – no shortage of reviews online if you want to read more.  Both PCM and DSD sound outstanding. The DAC creates no noise – dial it up to 100, put your ear next to the tweeter and the only thing you hear is silence. Analog output is XLR. It has USB, coaxial, two optical and AES/EBU inputs. I have all the boxes and peripherals, so can post. Unit is like new, unscratched, and still under warranty (10 months left). I am the first owner. 

Brilliant little streamer. Upgraded to latest firmware and ready to go.
 
Selling as i upgraded.
 
Comes with the power adapter.
 
 

Antipodes or purposely-music-focus servers are a must for modern streaming setup if you want to come close to CD or analog quality. They tune chipset and design their own power supply to deal with all nasty frequency generated by computer chips which will eventually go through your dac. They are not optional component if you are serious about sound.

Price is for Antipodes S40 with stock power supply .

Naim impresses me about its musical performance for an affordable price. nd5 sx2 does not require a hefty price tag to enjoy music and very enjoyable
level. You have same privilege to access to all Naim’s streaming software which is very refined.

Bought from the former distributor, I know they have also dropped price further more now but my price is cheapest on market.
 
 

Selling my 2023 Chord Mscaler, I am the second owner.
 
In immaculate condition and working flawlessly. Only rate it as a 9/10 because of it being second hand.
 
It comes with the original packaging, remote, power bricks, and set up guide.
 
Reluctant sale, need funds for an overseas holiday.
 
I really wanted to kept it, so I withdrew the sale. 
Unfortunately the holiday costs have increase a fair bit & I have no choice.

The TT2 probably needs no introduction here. It's one of the very best DACs on the market at any price. In fact, the only DAC I've found so far that can best it is the Chord DAVE and that's the reason I'm selling the TT2 - to buy a DAVE.

Good condition with remote and original box. Cheapest dcs dac with usb input. 

I’m going down a much simpler route and selling my black Auralic Aries G1.
This needs no introduction. Works via wifi or wired connection, the Aries G1 connects directly to Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify Connect and as a Roon endpoint
I purchased this new from Audio Influence in May 2022. I’ve loved the sound but I’m simplifying things and going down the single box (actually two boxes), route.
Also included is genuine Auralic remote which is a separate, optional purchase.
It’s in perfect working order and excellent condition. I have the original double-box packing so it can be shipped at an agreed cost. Pickup is also welcome.
