Tie between: 1993 And 1992 Oh man, somebody stop me! Pasting all these video links I'm starting to feel like Randy

Sold, you all, 'Yall, you guys missed out on a awesome DAC.

Bump for price drop....$4,500.

...and an even better book

It is the Plus, all handpicked caps/resistors, IIRC. 100% original, no mods.

Tons of info available online about this wonderful DAC. Rave reviews and all that stuff just look around if you need to. Right now it is in my equipment rack. I'll take it out if you need more pix, but it went from the shipping box to where it sits now. Local pickup for now in the Baltimore, MD area. its a beast at over 40 pounds. Willing to drive a bit to meet you depending how easy you make the transaction. If you are truly serious you are welcome to demo it in my space. I have all the original boxes/packing/paperwork PM with any questions you might have. Anything you see in the pictures are glare, dust or fingerprints. My room has no windows and is painted black so hard to photograph. Took some with and without the lights on. It has a FPGA processor so easy to keep it updated. It is my understanding that nothing has changed except the firmware in the past several years. From memory this is a 2021 or 2022, but same model you can buy today for over $7K. $4,500 cash on pickup or Zelle or Venmo or PP Friends and Family. If you really must have it shipped we can work something out. Send me a label, arrange for shipping, have a friend pick it up. I'll drop it off at your preferred shipper but the details are on you. Thanks for looking!

Same here. If I took all my audio purchases in the last 20 years....speakers, amps, tubes, record cleaners DACs, heck anything but music. Roon is the single best purchase at any cost. I'm happy with Plex to manage my local video library be it purchased or phone video. Can't comment on VLC. I'm a music streamer. All my 100,000+ song library of Standard Rez and High Rez music is local. Room is key to that. I spend a good bit of time over at the Roon Forums ( Since Randal/Double-Aught-1 took root here 😉 ) and I get the feeling that many like Roon for streaming as well.

Title says sold

Congrats on the new Jubes! I'm also using Hypex mono blocks for the low end and First Watt J2 for the top for my active crossover system. Different speakers for sure, but I owned Khons for many, many years. Also several tube amps and preamps have come and gone. I don't see the Hypex/J2 combo going anywhere anytime soon. Just some food for thought on the J2/Hypex combo that seems to work for more than one member here. Enjoy the road finding your perfect match....er, matches. Side note, I've not been keep up on the new Jubilee threads. Does the active crossover that comes with them allow for you to play with the crossover points, slopes, delay, etc. or is it a preprogrammed box from the factory. Any idea who makes it? The speakers look fantastic and I'm sure sound out of this world. I'd expect nothing less from the electronics.

That sounds to me like your laptop has USB-C, correct? I only see USB-C on the DAC. So I would be shocked if a C to C cable did not work. Like @Marvel says it will need power. Absent that, if any port on your laptop can charge your phone, use that one. Try not to use a USB Hub between laptop and DAV, if you can avoid it. I've had on and off problems with CD-players for ripping CDs, Monitors, Microphones, etc. with a chain of USB devices that went Laptop>>cable>>USB Hub>>cable>>Device. I also seem to remember (scary) a previous Dell Laptop that had USB-C/Thunderbolt dock port and 1 USB-A port that was powered and two USB-A ports that were not powered. So try your cell phone on all ports of your laptop and see if any/all charge while you wait for the DAC to show up. If you really want to cover all of your bases pick these up....super handy once you have them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BJ8YQ2LM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
