Bails Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Item: Cocktail Audio X35 with 2TB hard drive Location: Canberra Price: $2500 including shipping in Australia. Price drop, now $2300 $2150. Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Doesn't fit in my wall unit! Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: This is a brilliant sounding all-in-one - I was really surprised and impressed by how good it sounds, not to mention its ripping and other functions. I'm only selling it because it's slightly too deep for the wall unit it needs to sit in, and my better half won't consider ditching the wall unit. I only bought the X35 a few weeks ago and it's had very little use. The unit comes with a 2TB hard drive installed and the optional Wi-Fi usb dongle. I have all the original accessories but I'm not sure yet whether I still have the original packing - my wife might have thrown it out in a cleaning frenzy. I will pack very well for shipping.

gingerbeer Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 does the volume knob affect the volume on the digital outputs? I'm looking for something to control active monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music..Man! :) Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I have the x40 and can attest to the quality, versatility and most importantly, sound quality. This thing can do most things; and do them extremely well. Very VERY under-rated piece of kit. With a different manufacturers name on this (not naming some of the big 'uns, you know them), this would be ridiculously popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFidelius Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The only thing that held me back from getting was the doubt I had about the quality especially the sound so I ended up getting a new (now superseded) Primare I32 with an MM30 media/DAC card ...... not as functional as the Cocktail X35 but I think ( mind you I haven't heard the Cocktail) a better sounding proposition with my Lenehans ML1's ..... still I wouldn't mind auditioning the X35.
