EXPIRED WTB: DAC any brand with XLR output FOUND THX

[marten]

Item: DAC with multiple Inputs and XLR output
Price Range:   $100 to $500
Item Condition: Used
Extra Info:   Newer or older simple DAC, no tubes, good range of input ports.

I'd pay best money for a DAC with a couple of Optical and an XLR input port (aka AES-EBU).

Must have Balanced (XLR) analogue outs.

Remote control or Volume adjustment not necessary, but manufacturer web site is.

I'm located in Sydney.

Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible. (You can now delete this text).

 

I'd want a bit more than $500, but I have silver Audiolab 8200CD, which is also a DAC with XLR out, 2x optical and 2x coax in. Also has 7 inbuilt filters to tailor output to your taste.

Thanks Blybo, the Audiolab's a good unit but this will not be my pricipal Dac so I'd rather be under $500 than over.

You want one of these should tick most of your boxes I reckon.

I'm not in Sydney but I have a Teac UD-501 silver. Was looking at $500 for it. 

 

Has dual coax, dual optical, USB and XLR outs. No volume controls on the preout but there is a headphone amp with a volume control. 

 

No box though. I left them behind in Singapore where I bought it. I might have the manual somewhere but I often use the soft copy anyway. Was hoping for a local sale. I got a UD503 recently so this one has been surplus. I do miss having dual full Toslink inputs tho. The 503 has a mini Toslink as a second optical input and it was awkward running a cable to it.

Slightly over budget I know but in case you're interested

Batmaqn:  Nice price range in used form; although the single toslink input is not ideal.

 .

Adam:  Yes, with my emphasis on connectivity and price, I'm aiming for something more pedestrian than the price and repute of "Wyred4Sound ".

 .

Michael:  Thanks but I need more inputs.

 .

DoggieHowser:  Nice range of inputs; though if it had the AesEbu port I 'd be prepared to push to my price limit.  It's on my shortlist but I'll keep looking.

Probably two of the few in your budget the Dacmagic plus and Emotiva XDA 1

[Neo]

Len Wallis has a bryston bda-1 for $745 in their second hand section, plenty of inputs and outputs. Yes it's over your budget but ticks all the boxes and you will not be upgrading anytime soon. Give a call and speak to Tim he will help you out with the price

I've sent you a PM regarding the Parasound Zdac which has balanced outputs though also only has one optical input.

 

[joz]

I may have CAmbridge Audio Dacmagic2 available.

it was to become a Modding project but like all my best intentions they end up being forgotten.

Thanks, replied via PM.

Some good equipment being mentioned here, many a bit above my target grade (the Bryston even has AesEbu input), and I have to resist an impulse buy here, because the project I need the DAC for has pretty tight parameters, and sound quality is not the main driver (heresy, isn't it).
