    Hey all, I just had an offer accepted on a used Yggdrasil that I didn’t expect the buyer to actually go for, so it’s time to free up some funds!

    iBasso DX320 w/Amp 14 module: I am the second owner of this TOTL DAP. It has one scratched corner that is visible and is purely cosmetic, no effect on the sound. This comes with the stock Amp11mk2s and an Amp 14, which uses a Korg Nutube and sounds heavenly. $1100 shipped Sold to @RestoredSparda who is getting an amazing player!

    Tavish Adagio phono preamp:
    Tavish’s TOTL phono, with more resolution, technicalities, and liquid sound than their Classic/Vintage models. Basically an endgame phono. Has an upgraded Jensen transformer for the internal SUT (sounds absolutely awesome) and upgraded external SS power supply. I am the second owner, bought it from @Inoculator. $1850 $1700 shipped

    I also still have an ifi Zen One Signature on sale, see the other thread for that one.

    CONUS only, Friends/Contributors preferred. Thanks for looking!

    That Adagio has a really long waitlist. Good opportunity

    I will say I just tried the iBasso amp 14 balanced out to a JAR650 and it sounded so good that if someone doesn't buy this player soon I might have to keep it after all...I've never heard a portable that I thought could do justice to the 650 and the DX320 just makes it sing.

    I would keep the dx320 if you like it that much since everything is in place to sound good. Yggdrasil takes a lot of work on your chain to actually take advantage of the extra resolution, dynamics, etc. I can guarantee blackground won’t be as black.

    The DX320 is a DAP. While it does have line out capabilities I wouldn’t want to use a DAP as a DAC long term. And besides, I already bought the Yggdrasil. I’ve always wanted one, even though many have moved on to other high end DACs by now.

    DX320 sold, Adagio still looking for a good home. If you use vinyl this will absolutely take your setup to another level, it’s a beauty of a phono.

    Because I’d love to see someone in our community get it, I’m lowering the price on the Adagio here only to $1700. Everywhere else I have it listed will remain at $1850.
