I have this for sale. It's a couple months old. Selling for close to what I bought since it's a special order item from the states and I got gouged on shipping. It's a great DAC and will kill anything in the newest AV Recievers. It's meant for 2-channel audio sources and only accepts digital connections usb/toslink/coax. I paid roughly $450 after duty/conversion/shipping. Only reason I'm selling is beacuse I bought a $2000 DAC recently .
http://emotiva.com/xda1.shtmThe XDA-1 Differential Referenceā¢ balanced 24Bit/192kHz DAC/Digital Preamp represents a stunning achievement in sonic performance. Designed around the acclaimed Analog Devices AD1955 DAC operating in a fully differential mode, its differential output is then coupled to a digitally controlled volume control stage. The output of this stage then drives our fully discrete, cross coupled, Differential Referenceā¢ balanced line amp stage. The result is breathtaking.
In addition to being a state of the art 24Bit/192kHz DAC, the XDA-1 can operate as a digital preamplifier and source selector in a digitally based reference level audio system. Inputs for up to six digital sources including AES/EBU, USB, Coax, and Toslink are available. The XDA-1 incorporates a VFD display for volume, input select, and system status messages. In addition, it is supplied with a milled aluminum remote control for convenient operation.
The XDA-1: transcendent.
