karmanfamily Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Up for sale ia a Black Audio Research DAC-8 D/A Converter. This is one of the best sounding DACs that I have ever heard (and I heard a lot of them). It is on the warm side of neutral, very easy to listen to, wide and deep soundstage and it makes the speakers disappear. If I didn't have (and need) a DAC/Streamer combo, I would have kept it, without hesitation. The DAC-8 with black front don't come up for sale often. Unfortunately it is not perfect. The print under the power button has the leter 'e' and 'r' rubbed off a little. On top there are a few light scratches, that I bet you won't see from a foot or 2 away. The left top corner of the left handle on the front has a small scuff, which you wouldn't have noticed if I didn't mention it. It seems like a lot, but when you see it in person, it isn't all that bad. See pictures. I have ordered a brand new shipping box (and inside packaging) from Audio Research, which may delay the shipping with a few days. The remote is a Logitech universal remote, programmed to work with the DAC-8. These usually sell for $2500 - $2700, but because of the small blemishes and not having the original remote I am selling this one for less. MSRP $4,999, asking $2199.99. Inputs: USB 2.0, S/PDIF RCA, S/PDIF BNC, AES/EBU and Optical. Outputs: Stereo RCA and Balanced XLR Take advantage of 0% Interest and No Payments for 6 months through PayPal Credit. Please check out my other audio gear bargains! Shipping is calculated exact through USPS or FedEx from zip code 32832. International shipping is done through USPS only. Shipping weight is 22 lbs and the box measures 24x18x10. I accept Paypal and Credit Cards (please add 3% for the fees), you can wire directly into my Wells Fargo account (which is free from other Wells Fargo accounts) or send me a Money order. When I ship International I am not responsible for any loss/damage during shipping and any Customs duties/fees/charges/taxes. Happiness is wanting what you have. Link to comment
