APL HiFi – DAC-M For Sale. Designed and built by Alex Peychev of APL HiFi. Comes with a One Year Mfr Warranty. Mint operating condition, Near mint cosmetics with no marks etc on the front.Free Shipping. PayPal only but no fees to buyer. Comparable to the well known Esoteric-based APL HiFi NWO-M players, this reference DAC-M Digital Audio Converter shares a similar topology while achieving even better sound quality than the NWO-M. This DAC-M is in excellent cosmetic and working condition and sounds simply wonderful. Superb detail, imaging, depth, air – all the adjectives that describe something very special. It must be heard! I am the first and only owner of this DAC-M and it has less than 300 hours of use. How do I know this? To keep track of tube usage I log each disc I play and consider each one an hour in length. Some are more, others less. I have 232 discs logged into my ledger (just little check marks) so less than 300 hours is a good estimate. The asking price includes 1year factory limited warranty (30 days for the tubes) as offered by Alex Peychev of APL Hi-Fi, Ltd. A one year factory warranty is typical on new equipment but unusual and likely non-existent for used equipment sales between Audiophiles. The one year warranty for this DAC-M is a valuable bonus from APL HiFi. Features: - Industry standard digital input receiver by Cirrus Logic accepting up to 192kHz/24bit.
