That's a decent price, but remember that with the first gen you need to use the balanced output for the best performance.

 

That's f'ing me listing there. I've listed it $150 here for at least a month.

 

Agreed, but as it's more pronounced in the GOV2, I figured it was worth mentioning.

 

Oh, for f**k's sake...that's what I get for going back to HF...
Ahem, great price everyone!

 

Wow, you are right! I listened to some Big Band music, and wow. Huge difference. The UDA-1 was all muddy in the upper mid and lower treble. The Modi Multibit wasn't. Especially notable when many instruments are playing at once.

Thanks.

 

$200 CAD for a used Schiit Valhalla (gen 1)
http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649308253-schiit-valhalla-version-1-headphone-amp/

EDIT: Bought and paid for through Paypal Merchant, $220 CAD after compensation for shipping + Paypal's fees.

 

This needs extra emphasis. I've been burned once with a cash deposit, had to argue with my credit card company once, and PayPal has stopped a few potential scams cold. The best one was a Woo WA5, it was basically a done deal, but PayPal said they couldn't do a business transaction to the accoun he posted. I nope'd out of that really fast.

 

Pretty good lookin' deal on the (excellent) UM Martian over at HF. Often gets more listening time than my full-size headphones, but I don't feel the poorer for it.

 

Ooh, a Fostex T10 has appeared in the wild: http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649283913-fostex-t10-planar-magnetic/

Rare as hen's teeth, and indeed the first portable planar long before all that silly Audeze Sine nonsense. Also quite good sounding from my fuzzy recollection.

 

i think that fostex has @takato14 's name all over it

 

guy just lowered his price on his audiogd dac19, it's a multibit pcm1704 dac with rca out.. $399

Wow that's pretty decent if for the r2r version. It doesn't specify whether it's the 10th anniversary edition (which was the multibit one) and I remember reading that there was a regs dac19 that wasn't multibit.

Looks like one of the best DACs of 1998. Has the tech changed enough that a Modi Multibit is a better deal?

 

I've heard the dac19 with that chip and sounds quite nice. Still though, the Modi Multibit took the definition of value in the multibit world out back and got it pregnant.
