Item: Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Reference Series
Location: Bentleigh, Melbourne
Price: $15,000 These units are in high demand and low supply. Approximate new price $25,000 - if you can lay your hands on one. I've re-posted this with a much lower price, so that someone can bliss out over the cold winter that now appears to be on its way!
Item Condition: As New. In original condition, original packaging, with remote & manual.
Reason for selling: This is the best PCM DAC I have heard to date, full stop. However, with a growing emphasis on native DSD recordings in my collection, I have moved to a DSD-centric DAC.
Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, Bank Transfer. Packing and Shipping (to your requirements) extra if not picked up locally - but happy to ship.
Extra Info: As some on this forum may remember, I have sampled a large number of DACs, learned from each of them and then continued to seek the best solution for my system and music. I doubt whether there is a more musical, more three dimensional PCM DAC available than this one. It created a new universe of musical enjoyment for me and I wouldn't be parting with it, except that having purchased a DSD-centric DAC I really can't justify having TWO top-end DACs here in the system. I'm only selling reluctantly, but as the new photographic lenses I ordered have now arrived from Denmark, I'm looking to free up the funds.
