For sale, very rarely seen on the market, a reference level streamer / dac from the renown French manufacturer. Very organic and analogue sounding, perhaps the best way to enjoy your digital collection wires free... Comparable to quality to any current megabuck DAC! .... Its tremendously musical and organic sounding.... Please note that the unit has no physical digital inputs and needs computer/phone/Ipad utilizing the AIRPLAY protocol for utmost purity.... I ve bought this couple of months ago,it was a demo unit, barely broken in, and it is mint, and not a scratch on it.... I have another one of these models using with top of line components, , and was going to set up another system, but postponed setting it up for time being. It just sits packed in its factory box. ... Let me know if have any questions....The following is THE Absolute Sound's Editor;s Robert HArley mini review of this unit...
"In Paris to tour Micromega, I heard wireless streaming in three different venues: France’s premier high-end audio retailer, Présence Audio Conseil; the listening room in Micromega’s factory; and in the home of Micromega’s CEO. With Micromega’s forthcoming streaming DAC, the Aria, you simply stream music from your iPhone, iPad, or computer to the stereo system via the Aria. A variety of listeners took turns playing music without ever getting out of their seats or pulling out physical media. We passed the portable devices around to the others in our group, encouraging musical exploration and sharing. Not only was this very convenient, but the sound quality was uncompromised (the music was stored in lossless formats). The Aria was at the front end of one of a handful of the best stereos I’ve heard, a mega-system with a price tag approaching seven figures. Even in this demanding context, the streaming music and the Aria’s DACs delivered stunningly great sound. I heard eight different systems during my week-long visit to France, and if it hadn’t been for me bringing my own reference CDs, we would never have inserted a single disc into a player in any of the eight systems.If that’s not a revolution, I don’t know what is.
