MattyW Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) SOLD Item: Gieseler - Groß DAC, 3 input model, plus M18PSU - Kraftwerk 12v 4A power supply (and original power supply) Location: Brisbane - Inner North Price: $1550 reducing to $1,400 Item Condition: Excellent. Includes remote which was only used to program a universal remote. DAC purchased in 2018 and Kraftwerk earlier this year. Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Well regarded DAC that outperforms for its price range. Well supported on stereo.net.au, with plenty of reviews to be found. This model used to sell for approx $2300 new and the Kraftwerk power supply upgrade is an extra $295. The Kraftwerk upgrade produced a substantial improvement in sound quality in my system, particularly in the soundstage. The improvement from the upgrade is also well reviewed. This DAC was outstanding value at the new price not to mention the asking price here. The unit has the latest firmware upgrade (2006be10).

Not up to this level yet though with some luck I'll get there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's an antique. When I first saw it, I had to have it. The same as our black stained English oak Rosenstengel dining table and chairs. Had to change the horrid green felt cushioning for red though. Quality shows no matter the age Edited September 22, 2019 by MattyW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
