Selling my beautiful Meier Audio headphone stack that I purchased after much research and deliberation, with my Sennheiser HD 650, including quality Meier Audio RCA cables and braided RCA -> 3.5mm cable too. Am looking to sell the amp/dac together unless I find buyers for them both separately. Can negotiate on price if headphones are included with stack too, or happy to keep the headphones etc.

Extra Info:
Purchased late last year directly from Meier Audio as a complete stack, and has been sitting in my home office and has not moved since so is in excellent condition. Use has been moderate but not excessive as I've always switched between my home audio system, computer set up and portable gear. I've purchased a couple of portable Meier amps over the years and the clarity, neutral presentation and high quality sound has always impressed me for the money.
The amp easily plays the HD 650's with ease, on low power only need to turn it up to 12 O'Clock for most music, on high hardly have to move the dial. The signature is what I like, quite neutral and transparent without the fatigue; a reference type system and great value for money.
The dac has a great cross feed which is the primary reason I've purchased this combination and works extremely well for live music, including classical etc. but equally well with hip hop and edm. It's quite enjoyable to run through the old collection hearing nuances never heard before, and switching it up with the different combinations of tonal balance and cross feed. More info on the cross feed can be found here: http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/crossfeed.htm
I purchased the RCA cables from Meier too ($65 AUD) which are very high quality lock type RCA's, normally I don't care too much for spending money on cables but wanted to have a good set to compliment the stack. I also purchased an RCA to 3.5mm braided for my portable DAP from eBay for about $45 AUD.
The Meier stack has received great reviews all around, I've posted a few links below which go into further detail on the combination, the DAC and how it compares to more expensive combinations.

Extra Info:
I've had many pairs of headphones over the years, mainly IEMs due to travel and never having an amp or dac to go with them and primarily focusing on home audio. Not much to say here, except they're a classic, in excellent condition and pair beautifully with the above stack.
