T+A Elektroakustik DAC 8 DSD

This listing is for a T+A Elektroakustik DAC 8 DSD and headphone amplifier rated Class A+ by Stereophile Magazine. I purchased this DAC from an authorized dealer, it's in excellent condition and works perfectly. A very small surface scratch on the top right corner, barely noticeable. See photos. The DAC 8 DSD has separate paths for PCM and DSD data streams so that decoding is optimized for each file class. Digital inputs include USB, AES/EBU, BNC, and SPDIF coaxial x 4. There's also an Ethernet connection. There are balanced and RCA analog outputs; the volume can be set to fixed or variable. I'm selling because I primarily listen to vinyl and this DAC is way more than I need. See the specifications below, note, all specifications are still available on the T+A website. Included are the original double box and packaging, manuals, remote, and cables. Shipping included to CONUS.
