  1. I bought this to experiment with and it is a VERY impressive sounding DAC with a very simple USB input and rca outputs. This is great for a desktop setup or if you use your computer as a streamer through USB. I recently acquired another Dac with more features to fit my system so no longer need it.

     

    Upgraded Sparkos Opamps

    ESS9018 Dac Chip

    DSD Playback

    Up to 384KHz Sample Rate 

     

    I also have the original manual, original box, and will include a Power Cable.

     

    Asking $275 plus ship. Located in Houston, TX

  2. I bought this on Reverb a couple weeks ago and a week later my brother and I made a trade and I acquired a Mytek Brooklyn Dac+ and the Mytek has more features and fits my system needs.

     

    I have tested everything on it and it all works great.

     

    - USB Amanero Module

    - AK4493 

    - XLR outputs

    - I THINK it is Mahogany with Wenge sides

    - Dovetail joints

    - Opa1656 Opamps x3

    - Black Glass Color

    - 12V wall wart

    - No original box

     

    If you bought it from Geshelli now you are looking at a $385. I am asking $350 plus shipping.

  3. I am selling a pair of IRD Audio Class AB amplifiers. 100 watts Class AB into 8 ohm and 200 into 4 ohm. Highly regarded amps also known as the nOrh Le Amp.

    Asking $350 plus the shipping cost to your location. These things are really heavy and very well built. I would rate them a 7/10 on condition; they attract fingerprints so may need a bit of cleaning. 

     

    Be sure your RCA connectors have a tight grip.

  4. Over the last 6 months I have experimented with the Mofo amplifier from Diyaudio because I own a pair of Monoblock F4 amps and wanted to see how the Mofo's performed for 1/4th the price. I built 3 different types of the same amp at the standard 19V and was very impressed by the sound, but I am now selling them to fund other diy projects. 

     

    The Mofo and F4 are Power Follower amps and have 0 gain, which means they need a VERY powerful gain preamp or can be run by a flea watt integrated tube amplifier. I have a pair of Klipsch Super Heresy and used a Modwright Tube Preamp, a Pass Korg Nutube, a Pass Front End, and a Whammy headphone amp. All of them drove the Mofo to reasonable listening levels.

     

    For sale with prices is everything below:

     

    - Monoblock Mofos in a single diy chassis with two 19V Dell power supplies, WIMA film caps, with 6MM faceplate and a Peruvian Walnut bottom. You can expect 12-15 Watts Class A with a preamp that has enough juice to push them. With Klipsch, Zu, Tekton, Fostex, or any other efficient speakers over 95 db you shouldnt need them at full power. - Asking $300 plus ship

     

    - Monoblock Mofos on separate Peruvian Walnut plates with the same 19V Dell power supplies, but Solen Capacitors. These are a more rugged and exposed version but sound very similar to the first amp. Expect the same power and requirements to run them. - Asking $250 plus ship

     

    Both the Mofos do NOT have a switch to avoid thump on turn on. I recommend a switched Power bank or a surge protector switch to turn them on without thump. 

     

    - The Nelson Pass Front end I built to power a pair of the amps with 20db of gain and is powered off a 48V Meanwell DC power supply.. It has two inputs, and a single output. I built it into a Hammond chassis and painted the front to match the silver amp. It is a very nice pairing with the Mofos - Asking $100 but willing to give a better deal with the first amp.

     

    I am willing to ship anywhere in the continental US. Any questions just ask.

  5. I built this preamp to experiment with the well regarded muses volume control used in Pass Labs preamps and integrated amps. This is the preamp design from Wayne Colbourne at PassLabs offered at Burning Amp 2018 and sold on DiyAudio. 
     

    I used the LPS9 power supply from Academy Audio along with an older model VCX. The result is a very musical and clean sounding preamp and I followed the App notes recommended by them. 
     

    The unit has two inputs, two outputs, a headphone out, remote for volume/mute and nice illuminated power button. I used a 1U galaxy chassis from Modushop Hifi2000. 
     

    I’m asking $400 plus shipping.

  6. I built this setup for a friend but he decided to go in a different direction, so I’m putting them up for grabs here. 

     

    For the amps, I used Tungstenaudio’s upgrades on the DiyAudio forum as well as silver coated military spec wiring and upgraded Vishay/Dale military resistors. 
     

    As for the preamp, it has a 2 inputs, one output, a headphone output that can easily drive high impedance headphones, and a Dact 21 stepped attenuator. This was designed by Wayne Colbourne (Pass Labs) and is one of my favorite sounding preamps to build. - Preamp is no longer for sale. 
     

    DI am selling these for what it cost me to build in parts. Amps are $800 after upgrades. 
     

    I’ll take $800 for both amps plus shipping from Houston, TX. 
     

    Please know the leds are NOT that bright. The camera just picks up the light poorly.

  7. I have a large accumulation of Nelson Pass gear I need to move. Most I built because I had parts or wanted to learn from the build and the Pass Labs I acquired in trade and have too many diy items to keep them. 

    All work and sound fantastic with my Klipsch Super Heresy’s, Harbeth, and Full Range horned speakers. I will post some pictures soon but any specific pictures or information just ask. 
     

    Pass Labs XA25 amplifier - $3500 

     

    Pass Labs X2.5 Preamplifier - $2000

     

    F5 Nelson Pass Clone Amplifier built into an Anthem Chassis (Black) - $650 

     

    Waynes Preamp in small 2U Galaxy Chassis (silver) - $450

     

    Waynes Preamp in 1U Galaxy Chassis with Muses volume pot from Academy Audio and remote (silver) - $450

     

    I am about to finish a couple more projects below to pair up with one of the Wayne’s Preamps and the F5 in the Anthem chassis:

     

    - Pair of upgraded Amp Camp monoblocks in the stock chassis (silver) - good to pair up with one of the silver Wayne’s preamps 

     

    - Wayne’s preamp in an Anthem preamp chassis to match the F5 

     

    - I also plan to add some custom vinyl lettering to the F5 and the Wayne’s preamp in the Galaxy 2U. I could even make custom labels depending on what you want the amp to say or what font. 

     


    Shipping will be separate for everything but I can give a good deal if buying multiple items.
