    Up for sale are my gears that I don't use often. Wanted to simplify the collection.

    Basic assumption: Conus only + fedex shipping + buyers pay paypal fees (gift appreciated too) + Don't comment "pmed" or "ygpm".

    3. Gustard DAC-X26 (without usb input) + Gustard U16 usb interface: asking $800 together shipped for friends and good contributors or $850 for everyone else.
    • Product pages hyperlinked.
    • I'm the first owner (purchased in April 2019).
    • It's one of the best ESS 9038 pro dual implementation that I finally decided to buy over any other 9038 ds dacs. Unfortunately I came back to multibits camp later. So this has to go to handle financial situations.
    • Note that my X26 does NOT have usb input, that's why I want to sell these together.
    • U16 can handle AES, toslink, coax, and i2s.
    • You can buy only X26 dac solely if you already have non-usb transporters and/or usb converters: for $700 shipped for friends/contributors or $750 shipped for others.

    Damn man. I don't need another pair of ZMF headphones but I've been wanting a pair of Ziricote Aeolus for a while now. Must resist.

    The way you were talking, I was sure you’d be taking those Blackwoods to your grave. ;-)

    Well I’m thinking hard because @jexby swears by his Auteur Blackwoods. They have Mg hardware which is a huge plus too.

    Auteur pending -> sold

    EDIT: the buyer wanted pelican case and Eikon pads.. thus any Aeolus buyers can now request any (one) of the remaining pads and/or wood case if preferred.

    Didn't think that way although I was planning to own it for more years. I just have my own confident number of total headphones -- seems 2.5?. Beyond that I feel urged to optimize the collection.

    Anyway it's a tough conclusion after a season of hesitation. Hope them all to find new homes soon.

    I didn't delete prices at all (not only for this but also for every my fs post). Just colored differently for better readability of remaining items. Will change the price colors a bit more white-ish.

    EDIT: colors changed.
