I have an excellent condition Oppo Sonica DAC/Streamer with the ESS 9038 DAC chip along with EVS' super singled ended mod by Ric Schultz. Ric's $800 mod takes the Sonica to the next level. He replaced capacitors, clock, voltage regulators, analog output stage, internal wiring, adds transformer damping and more. The output signal has been routed exclusively to the RCA outputs, and the XLR balanced outputs have been deactivated for better SQ.http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Oppo_Sonica_DAC_mods.html
In addition to being an excellent DAC the Oppo Sonica is also an easy to use streamer, capable of handling UPNP streaming, Bluetooth, Airplay, etc.

I'm asking $795 or best offer, plus shipping. At my asking price it's like getting the EVS mods for free. I accept PayPal but the buyer is responsible for paying their fees. I also accept USPS money orders. I will only ship within the US. The Oppo comes with its original box and manuals. I have excellent feedback on Ebay as Gelajoy (1000+ rating at 100%.)
