Hi all, As you may recall, I recently found I had an issue with my Parasound DAC so bought this to make sure I had a source for Jason to visit with his speakers. However, the DAC didn't arrive in time and then I managed to find the issue with the Parasound (Audiotuning mods playing up) Obviously, I don't need two DACs and in truth, I am still extremely smitten with the Parasound so this one is up for sale. I've checked that it works and the condition of the DAC, but other than a short listening session, that's been it. It has given me a really interesting session listening to Hendrix though .... It impressed me massively. I got absolutely battered by customs on this, as the seller didn't use the eBay global shipping program, even though he explicitly said he would. In total it cost £830.....which is frankly ridiculous. So, if I can get £650 back (Inc postage) I'll be happy. Make me an offer, grab a quality DAC.

My memory may be playing tricks, I thought that the Parasound was ok and the streamer was at fault?
What was wrong with the mods on the Parasound?

However, since then I've been getting a crackling sound on the Parasound when changing tracks. I thought I'd found an issue between Streamer and Mutec....then I thought it was between the mutec and Parasound via AES, which I thought it was the cable. Swapped to Coax and the issue remained. I swapped the Audiotuning mods out for the original chips and it went away. I have reterminated the cables and now all seems to be A-OK, so there's no issue with the Parasound.

Bump.
Really surprised at the lack of interest in this DAC. Aqvox make some stunning devices, and this is no exception.
Come and have a listen to it. Bring your DAC...we can have a cup of tea, chew the fat (not in the tea) and see what you think.
Bring a Chord Dave or something....let's see what happens!
