    Selling a bunch of DACs to fund other projects.

    Classé DAC-1 (black)
    This is a gem. One of the premium UltraAnalog DAC out there. Long time Stereophile Class A component (back when it meant anything).
    I'm sad to letting this go, as it took me years before snagging a black one in good condition.

    It is a thing of beauty and sound spectacular with Redbook content.

    It is in good condition (despite its age) with only a few light scratches on the top.

    The DAC will come in its original box, with accessories (power cord).

    Price is $900 net to me.

    Chord 2Qute (black)
    Need no introduction.

    I used to be a big fan of the original Chordette Qute HD (with MCRU power supply) and was very disappointed with the Hugo, which I bought expecting to be an all around upgrade. Turned out to be more detailed, but also brighter, harsher and quickly fatiguing...
    Despite sharing the same architecture as Hugo, the 2Qute sounds like an upgraded Qute HD without the nasty brightness and harshness on the Hugo. It produces the same sense of immediacy (transparency, great bass line) which makes for a very involving listen. Toe Tapping, for sure.

    It is in great condition.

    The DAC is a UK version, so an adapter will be needed for the supplied SMPS. I used another 12V PSU so never bought such adapter.
    The original box and accessories will be provided.

    Price is $900 net to me.
