I am offering a Berkeley Alpha Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Series 2

I am asking $2,000.00 USD but would also entertain a best offer.

Berkeley Audio Design, $4,995.00, if purchased new.  This DAC is in excellent audio condition and includes the remote and user manual. Firmware was recently upgraded to V3.0 with MQA rendering (~$600 Value).  

The DAC has been located in a smoke-free home with AC and humidity control in the summer. Cosmetically, there are surface scratches on the top of the unit (see photo), but otherwise in very good condition.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me an email or text.  Price includes UPS ground shipping in the continental U.S. 

FYI, the following taken from the Berkeley Audio Design website.
