  5. This unit includes HQ Player 4 Embedded license worth additional USD $240. 
     
    The full-width Antipodes K30 is the entry model to the premium K-Series and is designed to deliver a large chunk of the K50’s performance at a more affordable price.
    The Antipodes K30 integrates two separately powered and isolated computation engines:
    A high power server engine to enable Server Apps to handle a large music library, re-assemble internet streams to recover the original file’s sound quality, handle DSP features without loss of quality, and to serve the cleanest possible stream to the Player App. The K30 server engine delivers single core performance on a par with the K40 and K50 and only lacks the multi-core performance of the higher models.
    The K30 uses the same advanced player engine as is used in the K50, to run the selected Player App to provide high quality USB Audio output.

  12. Precursor to the DA-150, this is an excellent little DAC and headphone amplifier, ideal for a desk setup or in a main HiFi system with speakers. There are two digital filters available that change the sound signature via a button on the front panel. Read more about it here: http://www.adventuresinhifiaudio.com/08/03/2015/luxman-da-100-digital-to-analogue-converter-good-things-in-small-packages/
     
    Please note: There is a very minor crackle in the volume pot, only audible when moving volume up or down, usually around the halfway mark. Since the volume knob only works with the headphones, you won't have any issues if connecting the unit to an amp and speakers.
     
    There are some very minor cosmetic marks on the unit, visible in the photos. Postage is available Australia-wide, at the buyer's expense. There is no original box, but the unit will be packed very well.
     
    Auditions and local pick up available in Kingston.

  14. 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!

  15. Up for sale is a JDS LABS EL DAC II+ and was purchased new by me in FEB 2023 from Australian retailer.
     
    This unit was used in our multi use lounge setup with digital coaxial input from a Node and Toslink input from the TV. Ease of operational use was  a huge consideration in purchasing this. Simply holding a finger on the front touch sensitive button turns it on and off or a quick tap changes the inputs, with the LED ring around the button changing colours to indicate the input source
    The sound delivery was more than satisfactory for a DAC based around the ESS 9018K2M chip and would provide an excellent cost effective small form unit…especially given it’s USA origin.
     
    Inputs are 1 each of coaxial, toslink (full size) and USB-B. The output  is single ended via RCA.
    All original packaging and accessories are included.
     
    This has been priced to go with Express Aust Post shipping to all Of mainland Australia and Tasmania included in the purchase price.

  22. Original and unmodified Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 192K Tube DAC.
     
    The Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 was a limited-edition DAC. It is known for its warm rich tone, great soundstage, and musical purity. The DAC is overbuilt with a great power supply and output stage, and runs extremely long life 5703 milspec tubes, which are good for 100,000 hours. The Tri-Vista 21 is transparent, timbrally and tonally accurate, while very musical. It is audibly better than the A3.24 DAC with a fuller and warmer sound, wider and deeper soundstage, and very good holographic imaging.
     
    13Kg and built like a tank in the UK. Good power supply and parts count (generic internal photo to show).
    All four feet light up from amber to blue once the DAC reaches optimal operating temperature.

  23. Very good condition Musical Fidelity A3-24 DAC.
    Hefty 10kg tank like build quality. Made in the UK.
    As a sound processor and upscaler, it is great and significantly boosts its performance as a DAC.
    One can toggle between upscaling to 96 or 192KHz.
    The analog section of the DAC is well designed too.
    I've put it up against in an A/B comparison many newer similar priced DACs. Makes the newer light weight DACs sound thin and digital.
    Inside the unit, a generous sized torriodal transformer, big caps etc. A good clean power supply, makes for a better sounding DAC.
    Many new DAC makers (especially ones in the sub- $3k price), cheap out on the power supply, and market their sub 1-2Kg DACs as great products.
    The latest DAC chips can never overcome these shortcomings of crappy power supply!

  25. Mytek Brooklyn Dac + in immaculate condition. Works as a Pre amp, DAC , Headphone AMP and Phono stage in one small but well built box. Stereophile product of the year.
     
    Pre Amplifier, DAC , phono stage & Headphone Amp
     
    HiFi fans are always trying to eek out improved performance from system upgrades. It’s an insidious business to ones wallet sometimes. Maybe not as insidious as Russian Novichok in Salisbury town centre, but obviously ‘wow moments’ can be had in some components which are very much worth it. In this regard there seems no end to how Digital to Analogue Converters (DACs) have improved as technology advances. This predecessor DAC to the current Mytek ‘Brooklyn DAC+’ model is an interesting study of the performance of DACs in the last few years and what’s now possible for the money and what Mytek are all about. It is in these senses that I review this product, and as an early foray into reviewing. 
    Mytek are a pro audio firm based in New York with manufacturing capability in Poland. They have specialised in the pro recording market but until relatively recently have entered consumer audio. The Mytek Brooklyn DAC then is of similar specification to devices such as the Benchmark DAC3 HGC.
     
    Mytec Brooklyn DAC review : The Mytek Brooklyn has a lovely display and milled front. One of the best!
     
     
    All encompassing
     
    In simple terms this unit is a solid state pre amplifier to be used with power amplifiers or powered speakers, a headphone amplifier with dual right and left sockets, and ostensibly a DAC, either stand-alone or with pre amp duties using its volume control. As you’d expect it supports CD standard quality audio onwards to high resolution PCM audio formats up to 32bit/384khz, including high resolution DSD (up to DSD256) and MQA. The USB 2.0 input supports files up to this higher bit and sample rates and native DSD up to DSD256, with other digital inputs of lower sample rate DSD over PCM (DoP). It too has RCA inputs for connecting up an analogue source or as a moving magnet (MM) or moving coil (MC) phono stage pre amplifier, and both analogue and XLR outputs. With this specification it’s very much a jack of all trades and the fact Mytek have got all this kit into such a small unit is clearly a feat of good design. The unit has a lovely ‘dimpled’ milled aluminium front panel and the top and bottom cooling holes are punched in the company logo, which is smart too.
    This unit prescribes a ‘how many people can you fit in a mini’ approach to using all the space on the back panel for connections. The USB 2.0 input is definitely the one to use and in my tests I connected a very silent Innuos Zenith Mark 2 server using Chord C-USB digital cable and I additionally tried it with a Cyrus Stream X Signature UPNP/DLNA streamer feeding it over coaxial. You can either connect it to the mains via the AC socket and for this purpose I used a Chord Shawline Power cable ,or you can use the 12v DC socket to either a battery supply or one of a number of commercially available linear power supplies. Mytek somewhat cautiously recount that a batter or linear power supply “may have a positive impact on sound quality”. 
    Mytec Brooklyn DAC review : Connections tightly use up the rear real estate
    The attention to design is no more evident too when you turn the unit on and are confronted with a lovely coloured high resolution OLED display with input buttons on the front panel for making selections in conjunction with the volume control knob. You can change between a simple screen view with the sample rate and bit depth and volume level, or a settings display view to move between all selectable options and with metering displays for RMS and peak levels of both channels. 
     
    If you use the unit as a stand-alone DAC you need to turn on bypass mode to set maximum fixed gain output to your volume controlled pre amp, integrated or possibly active speakers. And talking of the volume control, its both of the digital and analogue variants. It initially seems a bit strange that Mytek supply an Apple TV remote but it’s metal construction does compliment the units design. Another neat feature is the ability to change the brightness and colour of the Mytek logo on the front left side panel, great for matching to other non Mytek components in your rack. 
     
     
    First sound impressions
    Early impressions as a DAC / pre using Cyrus Mono x200 Signature power amps, is that this DAC has a liquidity to it, such that the music seems to flow very well. It’s very transparent with an airy presentation, which is probably its main character, offering realistic sibilance to lispy vocals. It’s not in anyway an in your face analytical sound. Bass is nice, fast and deep, and the overall sound is fast on its attack of music. Experience dictates good gains are often achieved using a linear power supply where you can, and with the Brooklyn DAC this might increase soundstage and imaging to levels more associated or matched to more expensive pre amplifiers with dedicated power supplies. Unfortunately I didn’t have a proprietary power supply to hand at the time of this review. Maybe it would perhaps have been beneficial if a dedicated power supply was made by Mytek for the Brooklyn DAC, as both an upgrade and up-selling opportunity. Trying other aftermarket PSU’s that work with the Brooklyn DAC would be interesting too.
    The Brooklyn DAC is at ease with low bit rate recordings as it is with higher resolution material. It’s very good at taking an old CD ripped recording which may be lacking in detail and dynamics, and bringing the recording up to a better standard. This is obvious in some classical recordings and you cannot be anything other than very impressed, particularly as the Mytek creates a level of insight into music with this openness and airiness. This makes music very real and satisfying. Having once experienced it is hard to go back to any lesser standard.
     
     
    Mytec Brooklyn DAC review : Lovely high resolution display and very pleasing!
    Feeding it DSD tracks from the Innuos Zenith Mark 2 it certainly took on board extra levels of attack, realism, speed, and naturalness. I compared Tidal MQA masters fed from the Innuos, enabling and disabling MQA in the Brooklyn’s settings to hear immediate effects with the blue MQA detection logo illuminating. I have to say the presentation took on a more natural balanced form in enabling MQA for a full unfold of the MQA file. It was subtle and slight but as if the balance of all components to the music were more discernible and better layered, vocals were in their place and so were accompanying instruments. I think therefore that MQA encoding functionality is worthwhile in this DAC. 
     
    Using it just as a DAC into my Cyrus DAC XP Signature and PSX-R power supply combo on pre amp duties, there seemed to be the best of the Mytek’s detail, transparency and airiness, with good soundstage and drive to the music. Compared to my Cyrus DACs, I was definitely still getting more detail, resolving power and speed and the pleasing airy treble was still there. It struck me that this is a DAC that would work very well in systems with tonally warm speakers and amps to elevate resolution and transparency and give best balance. This would be my preference in buying the Mytek Brooklyn at least and good system matching is required. To use it with analytical amplifiers or speakers with good treble might be overpowering and in such speaker configurations there are smoother DACs on the market and the airy treble might not be to all tastes. 
     
    It was also very responsive to better sources like the Innuos and in not feeding it noisy digital files across bog standard PC type peripheral NAS drives and routers, unsurprisingly it performed much better. The Chord power cable I used helped lower the noise floor too in creating a relatively quieter background.
    It didn’t quite have the same dynamic raw realism of a Chord Electronics 2Qute DAC in comparison to its airy presentation, but it’s clearly been voiced with a different sound in mind, so horses for courses. For almost all albums I regularly listen too I thought it terrific and it’s very good on all music types. Playing some fast paced electronic music, it’s very dynamic and fast paced indeed and synths stand out as if they are being played by a synthesiser in situ.
    I used the fast roll off filter which provided the best quality sound. In the box are gain jumpers which Mytek report are to be used so output level of the DAC can be reduced by 6db, which appear to be used to gain match with other non Mytek amplifiers. 
     
    It’s clear that the Brooklyn DAC works very well as a whole in all the things it does. It’s a kind of fast hatchback car. Like such a car is fast, practicable, and the kids can also sit in the back, the Brooklyn DAC could fit into lots of systems. It’s well designed and made, has very good sound quality on a pound per pound basis, and it ticks lots of boxes. It also beats some similarly priced pre amp DAC combos I’ve heard particularly those with lesser specced and revered DACs, on paper at least. It would work really well with some quality stand-mounts and a decent power amp. This iteration of the ESS Sabre Pro 9018 DAC chip works well too. The new Brooklyn DAC+ model is reported as having the new ESS Sabre Pro 9028 DAC chip, improved analogue input performance, improved phono stage transparency, a better headphone amp, and finally a dual mono analogue path. 
    Mytec Brooklyn DAC review – exquisite cases
     
    Albeit this is the original model in the range and not the new one, to conclude on the original question of whether a ‘wow moment’ happened, the answer is a resounding yes. Features and sound quality is fantastic for the price, albeit bear in mind the presentation might not be a match for all kit and tastes. I’d heavily recommend looking at the Mytek Brooklyn DAC in the right system, and particularly if the changes in the new model build on this one as would be expected. It would be interesting now to review this model against the Brooklyn DAC + and to form a view about the balance of the newer model.

  26. This NUC comes in a silent case specially designed for this NUC.  It has 16GB of RAM, a 128GB Samsung M.2 boot drive and a 500GB Crucial data drive.  I used the internal drives for the operating system and the Roon database.  Music was stored on a 2TB external USB drive.
     
    This unit is excellent for using in the same room as your stereo gear since there is absolutely no noise, it's entirely fanless and the case is designed for the heat load.  This is a great Roon solution.  I also ran Plex on the same unit.  The operating system, Windows 10 has been reset for the new owner.

  29. selling my second ndx streamer, circa 2016 based on the serial number.By far the best streamer available out there and for a very good reason. Possible exception is the ndx2 and even that is more of an incremental improvements. I did audition to compare even before the A2A insanity and was rather happy with both choices. ( A2A ndx2 is $6000 )
    The sheer musicality and the way it manages music through your local network or streaming Tidal/Spotify is simply breathtaking.
    Yes others may have the bells and whistles in terms of features but just don’t sound the way this unit does. 

    Can ship as I have the packaging from Naim but you need to organize and happy to help.
