More Information about Cayin iDAC-6 MK2 DAC - supberb. £600 of current RRP.
Price new - £1,298. Selling for £700 - so £600 of current RRP.
This DAC is Ex-demo. Can explain more to the buyer. This superb tube DAC is 18 months old and in perfect working order. UK voltage implemented - so 230v / 50Hz.
Home demo welcome. Collection preferred. Near to Bath and Bristol. Sorry for poor quality photos - my phone camera is rubbish - so i have included a few 'stock' photos in the Ad.
Lots of reviews. This DAC sounds stunning with lots of detail / dynamic. No harsh treble and no listening fatigue. I have other DACs and borrowed a few - the Cayin iDAC was much better than all of them. Reason for sale is below.
Uses the ES9028Pro converter. The iDAC-6 MK2 can be switched between tube mode and solid state mode - this is a really cool feature. I used tube mode for classical and jazz and solid state mode for all other music.
Taks 4x 6H16B vacuum tubes - these can be obtained easily enough. The tubes in the DAC now should last years.
Plays all file types an has loads of digital inputs - USB audio, AES / EBU, BNC, Cinch, Toslink and I2s via mini HDMI.
Both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs.
Looks gorgeous. Reason for sale - i am having a tube power amp built to my spec (lucky me - happy to share details) - and i do not want tubes in the DAC stage. It is a system matching thing - you understand i am sure !
Thanks for reading.
Peter.
