kevalin Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 For Sale, A DAC that needs no introduction on this forum: EMM Labs DAC2x in perfect condition. Owned a little over a year and has performed flawlessly. This dac has burned in beautifully over the last 6 months taking my listening session to a new level of enjoyment. Price $9,950. If you meet my asking price, I will add my Moray James Powercord. The 2012 Computer Audiophile Product of the Year Runner up... "This $15,500 DAC blew me away with its wonderful sonics. At the time of review it was the best DAC I'd ever heard in my system. The DAC2X isn't cheap, but I believe it's a good value. Putting a price on the best sound one has ever heard is tough.

kevalin Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I will consider a 10% discount for CA members. 9K firm. Not including the Moray James Powercord though. They are hard to replace. My kids are now older and I can safely experiment with Vinyl--I am heading in a different direction. My spouse said it is okay to play on both sides of the fence for awhile. Link to comment
kevalin Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 I am offering this dac for $8500. Shipping and Paypal costs covered by seller. I am not willing to sell for less. Link to comment
kevalin Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I am shooting myself in the foot but I am not a sales person. There are dealers who are selling this dac new for really great prices. Although I am not able to say who, because I actually do not know. I however was shocked at the price. Check with dealers before you want to buy mine used. My sale price now: $8000. You can decide if the price difference is worth a burned in perfectly functioning dac in perfect condition. Research your dacs and prices. I want this piece to be appreciated. Link to comment
