    I expressed interest in the utopias and he just messaged me saying its sold. A bit put off by him being murky and not telling me not to expect a sale because others expressed interest before me Lol.

    I don't know that I've seen one of these with the black on the heatsinks and transformer covers in better cosmetic condition. There's a couple scuffs on the aluminum, but for its age I'm kind of impressed at how clean it looks.

    I messaged the guy. He does not know the history or how it was converted to 115V as he bought it in it's current form two years ago. He believes the caps are still original.

    I don't mean to put anybody off but I got a strange feeling from that seller a month or two ago. Could have been the language barrier. Pics do seem very nice, though.

    That grey sticker on the back should be the version A proof. If not just check for the matched wima caps in the output stage.

    Meeting him Friday fingers crossed! It is in fact V-A ~ this pic has the stickers but it's got some glare, it was purchased SE only. I've had too many damn DACs in my time, I gotta slow down. This is one of those must hear ones for me though.

    **Edit**

    Well bummer looks like the deal is going to fall through; DAC is in need of repair. Thanks to the maker that I am local!!

    That DAC should stop the roller coaster. A ridiculous bargain. Good luck.

    I had a pair of those. Good sound but nothing like the single plates.
