    Selling a Nitsch Pietus Maximus (SN #5) with internal ESS 9028 dac card. This unit belonged initially to @Vansen, who sold it to @innoculator for a good deal, who passed that deal to me, and now I'm passing it to one of you guys. Vansen and curt (innoculator) took great care of the unit so it's in great condition (see photos).

    Selling because: I ended up picking up an OAE1 that I really enjoy as my only headphone nowadays and really wanted to try it with the pietus maximus as I've heard really great things about it, but unfortunately the pietus maximus ended up not having great synergy with it (I think due to impedance mismatch-- pietus maximus has an output impedance of 1.5 ohms and it sounded a bit too damped/dark/rolled-off at both ends vs the magni unity, which has an output impedance of <0.1ohms). In many ways this is a catch-and-release as it was only used for a few hours to get a sense for the sound before realizing it was not for me personally.

    Will include a basic shielded 18AWG power cord I got from amazon as well. Provides a small resolution/dynamics bump over the stock unshielded 18AWG power cord from my experience.

    Asking for $365 net to me, or $395 including paypal fees and shipping. Want to keep this friends/known contributors only for now.

    Happy to answer any questions below or via DM. Thanks for looking!

    (note: the original box was damaged while being shipped to me from curt-- this will come re-packaged carefully as opposed to in the stock packaging)

    Please be very careful with the back toggle switches protected during shipping.
    Without the firm foam, packages get hit hard on the sides and that can damage the toggles...
    DM me if you want me to ship you a couple pieces of the foam to keep it safe. :)
