Tassie Devil Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) SOLD Item: Arcam irDAC with Linear Power Supply Location: With a friend in Adelaide Price: $495 Item Condition: Mint with original box Reason for selling: Unused as now into balanced audio Payment Method: Bank Transfer Extra Info: I could not believe the puny power supply which came with this lovely DAC so purchased a linear PS and inserted into the container as shown in the pics. Note it is NOT an Arcam PS but is far superior and makes all the difference to the effectiveness of the DAC. The heavy PS brings the all up weight of the package to 2.2 kg . I part with it with some reluctance as it is one of the best single ended DACs I've had the pleasure to own - you can read glowing reports of it on the net but remember those reports are with the original wall wart PS. The linear one with this DAC takes it to a new level. Pictures: Edited March 18, 2018 by Tassie Devil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astormsau Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi there. Does this include the original power supply?Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Devil Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I guess so, I have it somewhere. John PS: I think I've located it. It is a standard 12V 1.5A and that relatively low power rating has always puzzled me when the Arcam specs show a higher power rating is specified. The wall wart is here in Tasmania - the rest of the Arcam is in Adelaide with my friend.

djmt Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hello John, Is the DAC still available? Please forgive me but I have to ask; Was it love or insanity that led to 16,000 albums? I've been collecting for 50+ years and might be up to 3500 albums, cds, cassettes and downloads. Should my wife ever question the number, I'm pointing the finger at you. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still have an even better alternative you can have for the same price - a highly modded Benchmark DAC 1. I had two, one has been sold but I still have the other. Digital expert, Steve Nugent in the USA used to modify them (at a cost!!!) . I have a lot of detail about all this if you are interested. Maybe better to continue this conversation off board - email me at jcoulsonATiprimus.com.au replacing the AT of course. Making me a scapegoat for your record collecting is a bit suss, but as you are several states away I guess I'm safe from any matriarchal (should I say maniacal? - no because that is the camp we are in!!) attack. Again, email me off board and I'll make a feeble attempt to justify my actions! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
