I'm the original owner of this excellent condition Auralic Taurus Mk II headphone amplifier. The amp comes with its original owner's manual. There is a small nick on the top of the amp. John Grandberg in awarding the Taurus Mk II the "Wall of Fame" award noted that "...How much do you a suppose a state-of-the-art, flagship headphone amplifier should cost? If I start around $4,000 and move upwards from there, I run out of fingers before I run out of amps to count. The majority of them are valve-based. AURALiC bucks the trend with a reference quality solid-state design costing less than half that. Some may argue TAURUS doesn't belong to that elite group given its "discount" status, but I would wholeheartedly disagree based on nearly a year spent with it. This thing is the real deal. In fact, I can think of several amps costing double (or more!) which don't perform nearly as well. If you want an endgame-level headphone amp which offers extremely accurate, resolving sound while maintaining a warm and inviting tone, look no further. The AURALiC TAURUS MKII is one of the absolute best values in the high-end, and worthy of the Wall of Fame." https://www.innerfidelity.com/content/spectacularly-transparent-auralic-taurus-mkii
John Darko awarded the Taurus Mk II his "Knock-Out" award. "The Taurus MKII is so darn dandy with inner-illumination and rhythmic timing that I was still able to enjoy the sound of artists I don’t dig so much e.g. Untold, The Eagles, Wilco. Tough to pile praise any higher than that. DAR-KO award." https://darko.audio/2014/04/auralic-taurus-mkii-headphone-amplifier-review/ There are many other great reviews, but they all conclude that the Auralic Taurus Mk II is an amazing amp. I'm asking $845 or best offer, plus shipping. I accept PayPal but the buyer is responsible for paying their fees. The MSRP was $1,899. I also accept USPS money orders. I will only ship within the USA. I have excellent feedback on Ebay as Gelajoy (1000+ rating at 100%.)
